About three years ago I started hiking 5-8 miles a day. While I found the Salomon UltraX shoes comfortable at first, they just weren’t designed or built for heavy use. They’re more of urban /weekend warrior hikers. The Oboz Bridget’s are heavy and took some getting used to. I have no idea how many hundred of miles I have in these shoes, through a variety of harsh wet muddy hot snowy conditions but they are still very comfortable and show little use. I highly recommend and hope this model stays around for years to come

5.0 out of 5 stars Great day hike boot
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023

Compared to their Firebrand II, this one took far less time to break in. After 20-30 miles (2-3 days) they were feeling great. The soles grip well on wet surfaces. The toe box is a bit more roomy compared to the Firebrand, and that allows for heavier/warmer socks. I had to abandon the footbed and install Superfeet--regular fit perfectly without trimming--so much better with a little break-in. The laces stay set when tied and don't untie or shift around. No leaks so far when standing in a running stream. Well done, Oboz!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good stiff, light hiker
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2020
Size: 11Color: Dark ShadowVerified Purchase
I have always worn heavy hiking boots with steel shanks. They provided great support and protection for the hikes I used to do. However, I don't do those hikes anymore and needed something that was lighter but would still provide good support for my feet. I saw the description and reviews for these Oboz Bridger Low boots and took a chance. The first impression was that these things are stiff. I mean, really stiff. They felt more like road cycling shoes than hikers and I hoped they'd loosen up a little. After the first day the foot insole molded to my feet and they loosened up a little. After about 10 or 15 miles of use, they're still a little stiff but not so much that you can't use them as daily shoes. I've used them in the office and on dirt and road walks and they're working fine. The cleats/outsoles are pretty rugged and, in my opinion, relegate them more to trails and hikes versus daily wearing on concrete. If you're looking for something to wear around the office or wear on hard surfaces, there are probably better choices. With that said, I am using them daily. The toe box width is good and gives me lots of room to move. I can't attest to their waterproof ability. They're low hikers so regardless, if you're out on the trail, water will likely seep in from the ankles. That's not a knock on these Oboz but is just a reality to the type of boot it is. I wear an 11 and these fit fine but there's not a lot of extra room. I won't wear thick socks with these...they're summer hikers. Wearing mid-weight hiking socks was ok. Again, the 11s fit almost perfectly but don't leave a lot of extra room for thick socks. Regular crew socks just about fill these out without getting tight. The heels fit fine and don't slip. I have high arches and these feel fine. I have little foot fatigue when worn on long walks/hikes of 6 or 7 miles (so far) whereas other shoes will leave my feet tired. I got the Dark Shadow and my wife says they look good so they get style points. They're not cheap but, if they hold up, they are a really good option for the person looking for a stiff, light hiker.

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2024

Very stable solid base that supports the foot during technical mountain hikes. You can take the line you want on the trail without worrying about rocks and roots giving you sore feet. Be aware that these are serious hikers and may not be the best shoes for everyday use. ...although I wear mine around a lot because they are so comfortable.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love these shoes
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2024

This is my third pair of Oboz. They wear like iron. The reason I got my first pair was because the soles release dirt and mud really well. There are no little holes to hold dirt.

I don't like the way they state the width designation to 'whatever' ie nothing versus a W. With no explanation. I'm thinking the 'nothing' designation is somewhere around a C or Medium width. They are a bit tight in the box and I should probably have gotten a W.

I am 52 and have owned all brands of shoes. These are by far and away the most rugged, toughest shoes I have ever owned. Naturally, because they are so tough they are difficult to break in. If you are slight hearted keep shopping. If you need shoes that are combat ready.. Get a pair. In fact, get two pairs.

I love Oboz. If you have wide feet, Oboz is the shoe for you ( Keen is good too). I do like the sole a bit better on the Oboz, and I do think they last a bit longer.

I wanted a walking shoe that was a bit more robust than the ones available on the high street. My usual source didn't have my size so I took to Amazon. They arrived as promised.
I have never had a pair of shoes that were so instantly comfortable. They are are robust design and look to pretty much what I wanted.

I’ve been wearing Oboz boots for about 4 years now and find them perfect for my active urban lifestyle. I regularly walk more than 10000 steps daily in both commuting to work and urban hiking. These boots give great support and traction and are great winter boots. I get about 1 year per pair and these are living up to my expectations.
