Comments about Oboz Firebrand II Hiking Shoes - Men's:
I have had these for well over a year and the tread is finally starting to wear. I bought them to have something that was waterproof and snow worthy, but could also be worn on short hikes or standing on belay in the rain on the ropes course at work. They fit the bill perfectly. My only regret is that they are a bit on the warm side, which is perfect from Sept. evening football games through May thundershowers, but a bit too sweaty in the summer. I love em, wear em to work and they look great and casual. awesome product and I have no reservations about repeating this purchase when they finally wear out.

This is my third pair. I originally bought them to match the support of my heavy duty hiking boots (Asolo) they give almost as much support but are lighter and perfect for lighter duty use. They break in instantly and are really comfortable enough for every day wear. I spend a lot of time in the four corners area and use them constantly.

My feet start hurting within the first 2 hours of a hike, good stability but really not a comfortable shoe at all

I spent a lot of time checking out a new pair of everyday shoe that I could use for hiking as well as playing with the kids in the yard and running errands. I also wanted something that was waterproof, yet breathable. These shoes did not disappoint!
It took a little time to break in (about a week or so), but once they were broken in they quickly became my favorite. Great traction for hiking around on trails and on rocks. They are waterproof yet breathable and kept my feet cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I actually logged on to see if they were still available so I could buy a replacement pair in the next few weeks!
The only cons I see are the break in time (don't buy them and go on a four mile hike the next day), and the soles wearing out after a year. I love them enough that I am willing to look past that and will be buying another pair soon!

I've been on two long hikes and so far I love these shoes. Only one tiny blister so far. They are comfortable and grip rocks and various terrain quite well.

I use these shoes for hiking in the Cascades. They are comfortable, have good support and traction, and keep my feet dry by being breathable and offering protection from mud and shallow streams.
Service and delivery comments:
After I ordered the size I needed in the store, the shoes were promptly delivered in a couple of days.

This is my second pair of Oboz. My first pair were a similar shoe but just not waterproof like this model is. The tread on the first pair simply wore out do to endless 14ers and rock climbing approaches. This is a great all around shoe for doing just about anything outside. Comfortable from day 1, waterproof, great traction, low top is great for ankle flexibilty, and I wear them at work when I have to do field inspections. Done and Done.

Bought these shoes to replace a pair of cross trainers that fell to bits very quickly. Needed shoes for a 45KM. coastal walk. Mainly beaches and rocky headlands with occasional wetlands. On receipt of shoes wore them around house and into town for a couple of days. Very impressed with instant wearability. These shoes performed very well on coastal walk and I was impressed with their waterproof qualities when crossing swampy wetlands. Traction on a wide variety of surfaces was excellent. Seriously considering buying a second pair. Very interested to see how they wear over time.

Without a doubt the most comfortable and supportive shoe I have ever worn (and I'm in my 60's). Perfect for trail hiking. Used them on many trails in the National Parks this summer at Zion, Bryce and both rims of the Grand Canyon (light packs; not shure how they would do for heavy backpacking). Also used them, for urban hiking and museum death marches in Paris this fall during many rainy days. Happy feet all the time! Do run a bit warm due to the waterproof feature, so I would alternate socks during the day. If they made a non-waterproof version, I would buy them in a heartbeat, just to have the versatility of choosing the right pair for the day's conditions. I used to be a big time runner, so I'm pretty demanding of shoes, but these answer the call.
