Oboz  Cottonwood Mid B-DRY Hiking Boots - Men's

These are fine for general wear out and about or in bad weather. For hiking, however, I found them to be marginal for rocky trails because the sole is thin and I felt every rock I stepped on pushing up into the bottom of my foot. After a few hours of a rocky trail in the Olympics I found my feet were tired from the rocks and roots pushing into them and the flexing of the boot sole over the terrain. If you are a serious hiker, I would recommend something with a more sturdy sole.

Fit and comfort right away. Forgot I had them on. Lightweight and keeps the rain out

I purchased the Cottonwood Mid hiking boot a few weeks before a two week trip to Guatemala. I used them on a few hikes before leaving and all was well. I have now returned from my trip and these boots were perfect. We hiked everyday, all of the hikes included steep inclines and decents. My feet never hurt and I was able to maintain traction on all surfaces. I definitely made the correct purchase with these boots!

I was looking for a “comfort-first” light hiking boot. While I found these to be true to size, they are a bit snug in the toe box. Also the heel area feels rather hard and stiff. They also seem to have a pronounced arch support, which may suit those with higher arches. I own a pair of Oboz Bridger insulated boots. Those are much more comfortable and have a better fit.

I’ve always wear the Sawtooth to hike in but I needed a lite weight boot to work outside in, so I bought the Cottonwood. They felt good right out of the box and the more I wear them the better they feel.. They only bad thing they are leather and my feet does sweat in them but the comfort is worth it …

REI crushed it on this one. I'm leaving for Europe in 3 days. I was late on ordering these but lucky for me REI got them to me TODAY! They are great looking, light, comfy and waterproof...Serious bargain!

Great experience online, cannot wait to use them on various hiking adventures
