Review:
Oboz Footwear
Combine the words "outside" and "Bozeman", where they company is located in
Montana, and you've got "Oboz." For them, Oboz is not just two words combined, but a way of thinking, living and doing that defines the company, their shoes and the people who wear them.
Looking to protect our favorite getaways, they try to minimize their carbon footprint and support organizations and causes that improve the state of the environment. For every pair of shoes sold a tree is planted- now that is cool!
What a fantastic all around light hiker! I have taken this on the trail in all weather and environmental conditions, from snow, to rain, to mud, to sleet, to rock, to gravel, to sand and it failed to let me down.
Made of waterproof Nubuck leather and high abrasion textile upper I didn't have to worry sloshing through mud or rain- my feet stayed 100% dry. They breathed extremely well thanks to the breathable membrane so my feet weren't sweating a bit.
The molded heel kept my foot snuggly in place whether hiking up or down reducing the chance of hot spots and blisters.
The High friction, non-marking carbon rubber outsole kept my foot right where I planted it, increasing stability and reinforcing your step, whether you are hiking in treacherous terrain or soft soil. Reduces the risk of slipping and falling- very important!
