Read More Tried a pair of Oboz Sawtooth due to good fit in the store and they were on sale. After 3 months of wearing them a few days a week to work, the heel started to squeak when I walked and the tread started to separate. Thinking it might have been a fluke, I exchanged for a new pair. They only lasted 2 weeks before the tread again started to separate. Wouldn't recommend these shoes to anyone. -

Read More I love this shoe and wear it all the time. It holds up very well. I tend to pronate and wear out one area of a shoe. These hold up better than other shoes I've tried. They are very comfortable and fit my arch well. Being older, I tend to walk almost exclusively on flat surfaces, but where traction is required they work well. I recommend them without reservation. -

Read More One of the best shoes I've ever owned. The first time I put them on my feet felt very supported and because of that support I walked with more confidence. Great for hiking, but also for everyday use. A very well made, comfortable and sturdy shoe. -

Read More I picked these up on sale at REI and they have performed wonderfully. The cushioning is perfect for me as is the fit. I have walked my lab around the neighborhood and on countless miles of trails and they have held up every bit as good as the other popular brands I have owned. After years and years of wearing Merrell, these have become my new favorites; not because I think they are superior in quality or durability (about the same), but because they seem to be more comfortable on longer outings. If your feet are sensitive due to high mileage you should consider these. -

Read More Love the shoes:great grip, thick soles, quality liners, and comfortable. After years of running, cycling, and hiking I find that the small men's shoes give my feet more room, less rubbing, and no blisters. This shoe is really easy to adjust to one's foot shape with all the loops and stays. Was perfect for long day hikes in Patagonia. -

Read More I just returned from a 2 week backpacking trip in India. I have planters facetious pretty bad so it's difficult for me to wear the same shoes all day and very difficult to find anything comfortable. These are hands down the most comfortable shoes I have had in years. They took a beating in India and held up well. -
Jan 9, 2016WEEKLY HIKINGthe shoes are comfortable and have great grip on the rocks and gravel areas
Read More So, I've put a few miles walking the dog (road, sidewalk and trail – equal parts of each. Uphill, downhill, flat and even side-hill for a short distance) on a couple of occasions on the new shoes just to ensure there'll be no problem on the trail with them. The first time out I cinched the laces down tight from toe to ankle, which I NEVER do with my hiking shoes and boots, and was amazed at how comfortable the shoes were even after a couple of miles even though they felt a little tight all around. No movement in the heel cup, no pinching feeling in the toes and arch and no rubbing anywhere. The next time, I left the laces a little loose and found the overall feel was more comfortable (read: “less tight”). On the couple of mile walk (same as before) with the dog, there was some minimal sliding inside the shoe, but no hotspots developed. I rarely have hotspots develop with any footwear, though as I'm extremely picky about my socks if I know I'm going to walk/hike with purpose, but it was nice to know that, even loose, I'd have no problems with these shoes. The next time Belle (the pup) and I went out, I tied the shoes the way I usually do when backpacking (as described above). No movement anywhere, no sliding, no hotspots, room in the toe box to wiggle my toes and they felt great. Definitely the way to go for me. If I had anything even slightly negative to say about these shoes, it would be that the soles, being thick like a proper hiking boot should be, don't seem quite as wide as other sneaker type shoes I've worn and, for the first couple of times wearing them, gave me the impression that or felt like I was standing on a 2x4 and that I might roll an ankle. Now, that could just be me, but when comparing the soles of the Oboz to my every-day New Balance walkers, there was a noticeable difference in width. That being said, I have yet to actually have any issues with rolling my ankles in them, but that may also be due to the fact that I am constantly concious of the lack of sole width in the Oboz and am being more cautious in them. Something I should be doing any way! As comfortable and lightweight as these shoes are, I'm really looking forward to getting out for some extended backpacking with them. The lack of a fifth star is only due to the lack time in them...maybe...only time will tell.
