Love these boots. I personally appreciate that Oboz make a non-waterproof mid. In Colorado it rarely rains long enough to justify wearing waterproof all the time! I have found that the DWR coating on the shoes is more than enough for an afternoon thunder storm! Overall the fit is great. I am a 13 and my width is a C width and they fit perfect. I will say that these fit different than the old sawto Stephen N · backcountry.com
