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

I've been a construction worker for over 30 years. I am seriously picky about my boots. I've had these boots for about 3 months, the break in was about a week. Once broke in, I had no issues. I am currently in California where we are experiencing huge amounts of snow. I have shoveled my snow in these boots every day and not got wet once. 5 stars. Mrjunk · moosejaw.com
