I love these shoes. My only beef is the insoles. If they were a little better, they would've earned 5 stars.

    Great trail shoe mainly for light hiking or walking. They are still quite new so I can't comment on the durability. They appear to be manufactured very well.

      Comments about Oboz Flash Trail-Running Shoes - Men's - 2010 Closeout:

      I bought these shoes on a whim looking for a replacement for some Vasque trail shoes. Oboz had a video promoting the technology of the sole and it sold me. (maybe another model?)I had high hopes, however I must have been spoiled by the Vasques. These weren't even half as comfortable. I have barely worn them and I am writing this review as I look for another pair, maybe a Teva, we'll see. I hate to judge a brand by one shoe, but here I am.

      Well made and sturdy shoe. Not much padding or arch support.

      Overall, I'm happy with the shoe, especially for trail running. Just don't expect a soft comfy walk.

          Bulletproof, long lasting construction and first time comfort.
          I can't find anything wrong with this shoe and have run steep scree, sharp rock, hard pack and everything in between.
