Oboz Men's Sawtooth II Low Hiking Shoe

I discovered Oboz back in 2018/2019. First pair I ever owned was the Sawtooth II Low Hiking Shoe. This is my second pair of this shoe. And honestly, I'd say that I can probably get another 2 years if not longer out of the first pair before they start falling apart if they will ever fall apart. I own 4 pairs of Oboz altogether. Two, Sawtooth II Low Hiking Shoe, 1 pair of Firebrand II B-Dry Hiking Shoe, and one pair of Arete Low Hiking Shoe.The Sawtooth II Low Hiking: I like the arch support, the fact you can get it in the wide, they are lightweight, the durability of the shoe, the tread, the stitching, the shoestring, it is all well made high quality. They do need to get broken in. Once they do, they form to your foot and are super comfortable. I wear them for work. I got them first back in 2018/2019 because I was working on concrete all day. And they were recommended to me. Now I am on my feet all day on concrete, dirt, and gravel, and the support for my weak ankles is great.You might ask why I bought a second pair if my first pair can still last, well I had money and I have a shopping problem so that's what I bought. Today is the first day I have worn the new shoe and it inspired me to do a review.Oboz a great shoe. Check em out. The only con I can say is, that I wish they came in more colors for men.

This is my fourth pair. The soles grip rock like nobody’s business! The soles are the part that wears out, but on slickrock in Arches NP, they give me confidence that I won’t slip. I get the wide for room for my foot to swell. Very comfortable and secure and stable on my foot.

I love Oboz hiking boots and shoes! The first pair I bought felt like slippers they fit so well and every pair since is the same - No break-in time. I have problems with plantar fasciitis as well as morten neuroma and replace the insoles. They breathe really well. My feet don't sweat, even with the provided water proof. The soles have a good grip and hold up really well.

Had never heard of Oboz before reading about them in an article evaluating men's hiking shoes. I had hiked in some of the more common brands, but generally reverted to wearing my running shoes in most situations because hiking shoes just seemed too bulky and with little or no cushion. These Oboz were a really pleasant surprise when I tried them on. Great arch support and just enough cushioning to feel good but not "squishy."Tried them on a 4-mile hike with some steep hills and slippery rocks. No problem. Felt so much more stable than my running shoes, and so much more comfortable than any of the hiking shoes I had worn before. No hints of blisters after my initial hike. No discomfort anywhere.A bonus with these shoes is the Oboz insole that comes standard. It's a lot like the ones I've bought for my running shoes that cost from $25 to $40. I was surprised to see such a good insole in moderately priced hiking shoes. And of course, if you prefer a different insole or custom orthotic, you can just pop it out and use your own.UPDATE: Did a 5-mile hike through hilly, rugged terrain in the Daniel Boone National Forest earlier this week. Mud. Slick rocks. Steep inclines. Everything. I never slipped or felt unstable...These Oboz are definitely the BEST HIKING SHOES I'VE EVER OWNED.

These Oboz shoes are my favorite daily use shoes. They are very tough and can handle the worst kind of abuse.First, these shoes are comfortable, and offer a lot of support. The soles are fairly stiff, and have plenty of traction too. They are excellent shoes for hiking and wearing daily, but not good for trail running.I am very hard on shoes, and these Oboz lasted me a whole year. I completely wore the soles out, and the shoes did not break. That's a win in my book. Some of the horrible things I did to my shoes:Wore them every single day to workWore them while gardening and mowing the lawnWore them while mountain bikingWore them while hikingWore them tubing down a riverWore them while welding and cutting metal (sparks everywhere)Wore them riding a scooterRan them through the washer several times (not the dryer - don't do that!)Anyway, these shoes are an excellent choice if you want a durable shoe for daily use and hiking. The seller was fast too. I got them in 2 days.

Loved most aspects of this shoe. Would have given 5 stars but the fit is a little narrower than expected. I ordered a wide (W) but still tight at the Front. Getting more comfortable with wear so refrained from ordering the next larger width.

Fit great right out of the box. Very comfortable on my wide foot

Muy buenas botas , la forma en que se amoldan a los pies es fantástica , los volvería a comprar
