      Right out of the box, these shoes felt awesome. I use them for hiking on pavement and trails. Tons of traction, complete support, total comfort. If these wear out, I will be looking to buy them again.

      I have problem finding shoes that have width in the toe area. My foot is narrow but I needed the extra width that this shoe provides!

      Comments about Oboz Sawtooth Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:

      I was looking to replace my Lowa Tempest Lo hikers after many years of solid service. The guy who helped me at REI was very friendly and knowledgeable. He suggested I try the Oboz Sawtooth and comparable models from Vasque and Patagonia. The Vasque model was too narrow in the toe box for me, the Patagonia model was too cushy, very little support. The Oboz had the right fit and plenty of support.
      After going on a grueling desert hike in SoCal I can say that I made the right choice. But they are not perfect, I was a bit disapointed with the grip of the sole on the Oboz, I didn't feel like I could completely trust them on some slick boulders, so I had to be a bit more conservative in that sense.

      But overall I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

        As a multi sport athlete, I've tried many shoes, all have there pros and cons. This is a great "all around" shoe. I travel a lot for work so I need a shoe I can carry with me that can be used for many different activities. Anything from gym workout, trail running, or just an everyday casual shoe. Very comfortable, durable, and looks good too.

          Comments about Oboz Sawtooth Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:

          I've been wearing the 'stiff as a board' hiking boots for the past couple years because everyone says that's what you need to wear if you're going to be doing a lot of backpacking. Since I started wearing those stiff things, I've been suffering from foot pain that had almost convinced me that I needed to stop hiking/backpacking. I'm only 33, but I thought my age was finally catching up to me.

          Then I bought these shoes. I picked them up because I needed a light pair of shoes that I could wear on a vacation to Greece. I wanted something light and cool enough to wear around town and up to the Acropolis in Athens, and something tough enough to wear to the summit of Mount Olympus a few days later. These were the perfect shoes.

          They were super comfy walking around Athens, and when I hiked Olympus, my feet were the happiest they had been on a hike in 10 years. These shoes cradled my feet so well that blisters were the furthest thing from my mind despite the steep and loose terrain we were hiking on. On the morning I hiked to the summit, I felt like I was 22 again and ended up jogging around the base of the summit because I felt so good....I attribute it all to the lack of foot pain due to the awesome shoes.

          I'm throwing my old high speed 'stiff as a board' Asolo hiking boots in the trash and wearing these things from now on. Ya, I know they'll wear out faster, but who cares...I'd wear out faster if I stuck with the Asolos!

          Perfect shoes....what'd you expect from a business based in Bozeman, Montana!!!

          I only wore the shoes 4 times and each time i developed blisters that were so bad I could not wear them. I waited a few weeks and tried again 3 times with the same results. This shoe did not work for me. It was so comfortable in the store - I was so disappointed later. Stick with Merrell or Salomon

          Almost perfect. The fit is probably the best shoe (or boot) I have ever had, and I am 51 years old.

          The one problem is that after trail running about 12 miles the first time with these shoes, my heel was feeling the impact. There could be a bit more cushioning there. However, I have since done several other runs around the 10-12 mile range, and I have not re-encountered the issue.

          Bought these shoes for mainly outside and everyday walking for cardio excercise. Over-all very happy with them. Comfortable, lightweight, and styleish.. Just slightly a bit tight in width originally, but after break-in, seems to be OK. Quality materials, great traction and serves the intended use very well! Very happy with the purchase and would reccomend this shoe to others if your looking for a good outdoor walking shoe.
