The Women's Sawtooth II Low has been discontinued. It was replaced by the Oboz Sawtooth II Low.

Mostly waterproof, sole not as grippy on wet rocks and roots as I would prefer. Keen has better grip, but don't last more than a year before the soles start to separate from the shoe.

Pros

  • Comfortable

Cons

  • Not as waterproof as I would like
  • Slip easily on wet rocks and roots

I haven't had the Oboz quite a year yet so can't compare the durability. Due to the limited waterproof quality, I don't wear them as often so may not be able to compare fairly with Keen.  I did notice early on that there are wear places, cuts, on the soft areas of the sides of the sole.

I actually ordered Bridger low waterproof, but these came from Amazon and one shoe is 1/2 size smaller than the size I ordered. I was hoping for a shoe with more leather in the upper. I suspect they were a return. The price was good and they fit, so I kept them.

Background

This is my first pair of Oboz, I don't plan on buying another due to the hard sole slipping easily on wet rocks and roots. I bough them for my daily hike with my dog in my woods in central Appalachia. I also had planned to wear them as everyday shoes around my place for gardening and other chores. It takes all day for most of the "grassy" areas to dry, so waterproof shoes are preferred. These didn't keep my feet dry.

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: less than $80, they were a return to Amazon.
