Love the Narrow Fit.
Yes , I recommend this product
Love the narrow fit. Hard to find anything for narrow feet. Heel bed needs more cushion.

Manufacturing mishap(s)?
No, I do not recommend this product
Not impressed with my first experience with Oboz. I ordered a pair of these, and the materials/construction and aesthetics all seemed good on first inspection. I was looking for a mid-height waterproof boot, and it seemed like these hit the mark. However, the problems began when I tried them on. I walked around wearing these and noticed the left boot had some material that rubbed the top of my toes. I tried adjusting the tongue, and it didn't change. There seemed to be surplus material in the interior of the boot that folded and distorted the shape. I decided to return them and get another pair, since I hoped it was simply a one-off manufacturing mistake. I waited a few weeks for the exchange process, and what do you know! The new pair had the same issue! I couldn't believe it: two pairs of hiking shoes by a name brand that would give anyone a horrible blister. (only on the left side though?) I have never had this experience before, with any pair of shoes. I actually tried on a pair of the low height Katabatics in-store for sizing and those were completely fine. It could just be I was unlucky enough to get two poorly manufactured pairs, but as a result, I will not look to Oboz when I need new shoes. I ended up going with the Asolo Eldo boots, which turned out much better.

Heel Came Unglued After 10 Wears
No, I do not recommend this product
I thought I would love these boots as they were vegan and so lightweight. But unfortunately that seems to come with compromises in quality and construction. Half of the heel of one boot came unglued after only 10 light wears. The tread isn’t even worn down the tiniest bit and they’re falling apart. Going to try to return.

Another great hiking shoe from Oboz
Yes , I recommend this product
I’ve been a big fan of Oboz for several years, mainly the low top Sawtooths. These are great, though they do require a bit more break in. Very happy with the feel. And they’re cute, which is a nice bonus.
