Love these boots
I bought these yesterday and wore all day walking around downtown Atlanta to start breaking them in before my trip to Iceland next month. Great support and flexibility when flexing foot forward. The ankle support is very well designed and does not rub or take a lot of time to get used to.

On the sizing, I bought one full size larger than I normally wear because I'll be wearing with thick wool socks. Glad I tried them on with the socks in the store!! The toe box is roomy and my feet felt great all day despite walking for miles on hard surface.

Love the style, the blue color, and the light weight

These Boots Saved My Feet!
I was recently in Albuquerque, NM and had only packed sandals and one pair of dress boots. I wasn't aware that we were going to hike around the mountains with our friend! I went to REI and found these beauties which I walked around the store for awhile only to decide to walk out of the store in them!!! What comfort!!! I have a bunion on my left foot and have a problem finding shoes to fit! I normally wear an 8 1/2 but opted to try a size 9! I wore these boots in the Java color for the rest of my stay which was a week! I've been home now for four days and I am still wearing them around town! They worked climbing around rocks in NM and they work casually at home as well!!! I love these boots, this brand and style of boot will be my go to boots!!! Did I mention that these also help with my ankles too!!! I LOVE them!!!

Love these boots!
I love these shoes for so many reasons. First of all the fit is great for my narrow long feet, finally. Provides great support without being too heavy. I have not actually tried these yet on a long hike, so looking forward to it, but I've been wearing these on many activities and is my to go to shoe now with quarantine:-)
The aesthetic is also good for hiking shoes, looks great with jeans and leggings and is not too bulky.
Kudos to the team who worked to develop these shoes, great job!

Best hiking boots ever
They were designed, developed and tested with a woman's fit and needs in mind which I love. I have narrow feet and these boots are the perfect fit for me. No break in time needed as soon as I put them on in the store they felt so comfortable from day one. I normally wear a size 7.5 in shoes, so bought a size 8 to ensure I had a little room in the toe box for downhill descent. My feet have always stayed nice and dry in these boots no matter the weather or terrain. Fantastic ankle support, extremely lightweight, comfortable, durable, and waterproof.

Never Received Shoes or Much Help
Purchased shoes via website because REI didn't have 6.5 in wide. According to FedEx shoes came promptly, but I never saw the arrival of the shoes. After giving it a couple days incase there was some delay, I checked FedEx website for tracking info which showed delivery. Reached out to Oboz and was told it was not their problem as shoes are no longer under their purview when shipped. Reached back out to FedEx to open case, never heard back; called to get an update and they still didn't have one. I was told by FedEx CS that someone would contact me. Since delivery at the beginning of September, I haven't heard anything. Reached back out Oboz and was told I need FedEx to say package was lost to get a refund for shoes I never received. I've had much better CS and will not be buying Oboz shoes, especially from the website again. You may have a good product, but CS like that doesn't deserve to be rewarded.

Seam inside of boot rub me wrong way
I had to return these wonderful boots because of a stupid seam inside the ankle portion of the shoe. This seam rubs the ankle when walking. I tried different socks and tying the laces differently (watching the Oboz video to get them tyed correctly). It broke my heart to return them because everything else about the boot was so awesome: the hiking sole felt like I would stay secure, the size was right for my narrow foot with high arch, warm insulation, good ankle padding and they looked great. Stupid seam.

Best Boots Ever!!
Arkansas recently experienced an epic snow storm. We usually don't get that kind of weather around here so we are not as prepared as some states. The only boots I had were these and man they did Not disappoint. They kept my feet warm and dry all day. I love these as hiking boots but I never imagined wearing them for playing in the snow. These boots are worth every penny.

Love My Oboz
These are my first hiking boots and Oboz will have a lifelong customer in me. They fit perfectly, are so comfortable, and are very supportive. Plus, they look great. I am impressed with how durable they are - i wear mine on rugged hikes and for work, and they have held up nicely even after two years. Love Oboz

Only hiking boots that have ever truly fit my narrow foot
We recently moved to CO and I knew I needed to get some real hiking boots that would serve me well on day hikes. Over the years I'd shifted towards trail runners or light low-cut hikers simply because I have narrow feet, and had never found a pair of hiking boots that didn't slip in the heel and rub on my ankle. And I have no interest in messing around with heating and shaping and footbeds etc just to get a decent fit on a pair of already-expensive boots. But I needed something with a firmer sole and ankle support. I tried these on and immediately fell in love. They're so comfortable out-of-the-box, and perfect for a narrow foot. No slippage or hot spots on the heel or ankle, and with enough room in the toe box to move my toes but not so big it feels sloppy. Other awesome characteristics I love are that I can lace them tight without pulling the lace panels so close they nearly overlap, AND they don't make my size 10 feet look like canoes. It's a lovely streamlined profile--I don't feel like a Bigfoot wearing them around town. I don't know if they'd fit someone with a wide foot as well, but if you have a narrow foot, these are awesome. I'm planning to buy an insulated pair for winter hiking and showshoeing. Also love that the company is in Bozeman, one of our very favorite places. Thank you Oboz!

Why did you choose this?

It is a very attractive boot, wanted to try it out to see how it fits first before deciding to keep the boots.

I have had 2 previous pairs and they fit me spectacularly well. They run narrow, and I have a very narrow foot.

I need a comfortable waterproof hiking boot that will keep me from rolling my ankles while hiking through Patagonia. I tried on 3 different brands, and Oboz was the most comfortable on my narrow feet…

This hiking boot was listed in the top 5 hiking boots for women.

Is this boot narrow, wide or regular size?

These are regular size. However other reviewers have mentioned they fit well for narrow feet!

Do you have this model in wide? My wife just tried a pair size 6 but was very narrow. Thanks

Hi Martin, this shoe is currently not available in a wide size.
