Oboz Men's Sawtooth II Low

rated 3.0 of 5 stars
photo: Oboz Men's Sawtooth II Low trail shoe

Fits like a Bridger Mid or Sawtooth Mid. Comfortable, good looking, stable, traction.

Pros

  • Comfortable
  • Good looking
  • supportive
  • Stable
  • Some are waterproof
  • Heel loop!

Cons

  • none (suppose you could say heavier than a Lone Peak).
  • Do not fit my feet quite as well as the original Sawtooth
  • Not quite as comfy as the original Sawtooth

Bought these because I love the fit. I wanted a 12 wide. Great traction, lots of stability, supportive. Probably my favorite walking/hiking shoe. Yes, it is a bit heavier than a tennis shoe. But you get rock solid stability. And rocks don't bother me underfoot. They fit just like a Bridger Mid except less ankle support. 

Background

I've worn lots of Oboz, all in 12 wide. Love them. Best fit of any shoe ever. Been walking for 67 years.

Source: bought it used
Price Paid: 48 dollars

I said it before and I say it again; They're crap.

Pros

  • Fit like a glove

Cons

  • Fall apart within 6 months

Been there, done that but these shoes just will not handle wet conditions. Parts of New Zealand where I live have up to 9 meters of rain per annum. I have tramped in dry and extreme wet and though these shoes are possibly the most comfortable ever they are also probably the worst I have ever bought. If they do not have time to dry out thoroughly then 3 to 6 month of use and they are completely useless as footwear. I now put my trust in Merrell...2 years and still going well.

Background

A whole lifetime

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $240NZ
