In their words
“For awareness, I have only had these boots for a week. First time Oboz owner. I am usually a size 10 (male in mid 50’s), after comparing to other brands I found a size 11 fit me best. I have been wearing them nonstop since purchasing. The environment is short distance urban and suburban in snow and ice about 15 F degrees average. The boots (one size up) have space in the toe box and the heel gives”

“I purchased these hiking boots for great fit & comfort as well as I thought they appeared well built. After a few backpacking trips, and I specific trek with a lot of bouldering the soles literally came apart and critically failed. I was amazed how badly they performed. To be fair these boots were over a year old, but never abused or stored in untenable climate conditions. Don’t waste your money, ”
