Not one of Oboz' better models. The fabric on the uppers is not very durable... already have a hole forming in first season of use. I have never had this happen to a hiking shoe. These should really be called casual shoes, as they cannot handle the outdoors. Also, there isn't much lateral support.
Currently on my 3rd pair of these over several years, so safe to say that I LOVE them for hiking and daily wear too!! We travel a lot and these have been the only pair of shoes I've worn, they've been great for the trails as well as city-walking. After they're broken in, they are extremely comfortable, and they look great with any outfit (doesn't even need to be hiking/outdoorsy, as they blend in well)! Highly recommend if you're looking for a pair of hiking/walking shoes!
I was wanting some walking shoes for the hot summer & saw these on sale. I love a pair of OBOZ casual boots that I got this winter so confidently ordered these shoes. They are attractive and feel good on my feet however not as good as the boots. The main problem with these are that they rub the back of my ankle on my right foot. Tried them for awhile to break them in but after a few months I returned them. The return policy for members is wonderful though and I got a pair of Altras.
Very comfortable and lightweight. Great for hiking trails in warmer weather. Have always had great values with Oboz, will continue with this brand.
