I really, really, really love these boots. I had the plain brown ones for nearly 3 years (~1300 miles of hikes, travel, dog walking, and general fun) and recently purchased them in the glacier color (because sale prices). They were perfect boots for me. I like the slimmer fit around the mid foot and arch because it feels like a lovely hug and holds my foot in place. I like the space around the ball of the foot and toes because who wants to pinch or lose their toenails? I wear a size 10 to 10.5 causally and a size 11 for running and went with an 11 for these as well.
These were my second pair of Oboz boots and I love them both. These new ones are wonderful, comfortable from the beginning, and I think will be durable like my other pair. They needed no breaking in at all and are a joy to wear hiking (which I try to do daily). I would recommend REI and Oboz for these awesome boots!
I liked the look of these boots. A lot. But they are very narrow. And the ankle support is a little too much. Wish they would have fit because they are nice boots. Sorry to return them.
I bought an 8.5 but had to return for a 9. I wore the boots a couple of times to break them in and they were comfortable even new. I have taken several hikes in very rocky areas and even on ice and snow; the boots performed well. I got them at an excellent price.
Bought this for my daughter. After 4 pairs of shoes, she instantly loved this and says it’s very comfortable. It looks even better than the pictures shows.
