5.0 out of 5 stars Best hiking boots I’ve ever owned
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2023

These are incredibly comfortable and durable. They weren’t worn for heavy duty hiking, but were worn nearly every day, lugging around camera gear. It’s been nearly 5 years and just now the only thing that’s wearing out is the bottom of the sole. It’s finally wearing through to the soft midsole. No rips, tears or fraying anywhere in the fabric or stitching. Still waterproof. It’s even got the original shoe laces. They are incredibly well-made with attention to detail. If Oboz is still making them like this, they’ve gotta be the best value out there. I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Hiking/Trekking Boots
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2014

I've been searching for a good rugged boot for hiking and trekking that would stand up to the elements and abuse on difficult trails. Oboz Sawtooth Mid BDRY Hiking Boots not only take on difficult trails with ease, they are the most comfortable yet firm/sturdy boots I have worn. The arch support is awesome, and grip is amazing. The sizing was spot-on ...I wear 10.5 EE and purchased the 11 since they did not come in wide widths, the 11s are perfect.

In the past I have always added my own insoles so all the boots I've owned to help with comfort, padding and moisture control. You don't need to add insoles to these, they are comfortable right our of the box. Break-in took about 2-3 days. Break them in with good merino wool socks and your feet will be happy! I wear these everyday now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fit as expected, well made
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2019
Verified Purchase
These boots were bought strictly for the many hiking trips I go on with my sons. I have often worn trail sneakers as I have not had joint trouble and don't often hike trials that I need to worry about water or ankle support. However, my body is getting older and the trails more advanced. I did some research that led me to these Oboz hikers. I have been wearing them some daily to break them in and took them for a few miles on the trail. I wear a solid mens US9.5 in nearly everything, without fail, yet I fear buying shoes online because of fit issues. The Oboz 9.5 mens normal width fits me like it was made for me. The boot hugs the foot and ankle very well. There is a lot between your foot and the ground surface, so no issue there. Good tread, solid make. I like these boots!

I have literally beat the hell out of these boots, including accidentally leaving them outside in the weather for several months. I washed them up and used mink oil on the leather...good as new. Excellent waterproofing, very comfortable and tough. Fit is perfect at size 9. I generally wear these boots all winter in the Pacific Northwest. This is one of two pair of Oboz that I own. These boots work well on the trail as well as look good for around town. Very highly recommend this boot.

2.0 out of 5 stars They are not water proof!
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2019
Verified Purchase
For summer hiking they are great! Good support never rolled a ankle. They also are light weight with great traction. However the upper is not water proof what so ever. I say this because they hold water lol. I did the first hike in the rain and dumped out a cup of water from each shoe. I water proofed them with a spray before my second hike in the rain and snow they still filled up. B-Dry system = B-wet. Living in the PNW I needed Water Proof there for I gave a poor rating.

These shoes have a lot of support. They are a stiff shoe, but fit very well, very comfortable, and last a long time. I wear these for every day, and this is the third pair I have purchased (fourth counting the low top version).

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice fitting, supportive, quality hiking shoe.
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2015
Verified Purchase
Great hiking shoes. I bought them solely for hiking and have not been disappointed yet. My wife had a pair for 4 years and they're still water tight, the tread on hers has just started to separate at the toe (after 4+ years, can't complain).

I've got about 40 trail miles on these so far this year, they're comfortable and supportive, but do require some breaking in, almost like a boot would. The tread, traction and water tightness are great.

I normally wear between an 12 and a 12.5 mens, I got these in a 12 originally and they were a little snug in the toe area (may have been okay for casual use, but not down hill hiking) the 13 fit much better.

Nice shoe, seems like it's quality made, hope to get at least 3-4 years of hiking out of them, if not, I will follow up on this review.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 29, 2018

Great fit, this is my first online shoe order and was worried that they may be small as shoe sizing is a sketchy area. In the past I’ve had Scarpa boots which are always small sized. These had great reviews and at a good price. They do require a few short walks to loosen them up, while the heel counter is narrow and secure to stop lift, the toe box is roomier but not slack. Laces are a little fiddly as the fabric loops grip the lace well. It’s still early days so only time will tell on longevity but first impressions are good.

Reviewed in Italy on May 25, 2018

Mi é piaciuto subito, soprattutto per la suola aggressiva e ostentata, e l'aspetto da scarpone "klingon". Poi, ovviamente, ho dragato in lungo e in largo in rete per leggere le recensioni e le opinioni di chi le aveva usate...per farla breve: quasi tutti siddisfattissimi, ergo le ho comprate. Mai scarpone da trekking/haiking fu così comodo e robusto. Provato su fuori pista con sassi e rocce aguzze, su pendii sabbiosi, più e più volte dentro ruscelli e pozzanghere: pantofole all'interno, mezzi corazzati all'esterno. La tomaia penso durerà in eterno, per le suole vedremo; i primi test sembrano positivi. Unico neo, in estate saranno un po' calde, ( sudo tanto, anche i piedi). Se mi fanno uno sconto ne compro subito un altro paio (a prezzo pieno sono "salate". That"s all, folks!
