Both versions come in standard width, which has a wider forefoot, a roomier toe box, and a narrower heel area. Also, women’s come in a D - wide version too. Its straightforward closure secures a precise fit. The foot is cradled by the sculpted midfoot and form-fitting heel cup.
Look for a hiking shoe that provides traction on all types of terrain
The Sawtooth outsole from Oboz features sidewall lugs that grip on camber trails. Its multi-directional and aggressive lugs shed mud and detritus that prevent slips and falls.
Promotes natural rolling motion of the foot
Zero break-in period.
The Sawtooth Low BDry yields a lightweight and cushioned ride through its dual-density EVA midsole. A nylon shank is attached which renders firm underfoot support, enhancing walking comfort.
Roomy toe area
Atop the midsole is the O Fit insole, primarily made of a medium-density EVA. Under the forefoot is a low-density EVA pod while a higher-density foam is placed at the arch and on the heel cup.
This assembly works by providing support, and comfort, and promoting proper gait. Also, it has a moisture-wicking top layer that keeps the feet dry and fresh.
Prefer a hiking shoe that offers lightweight cushioning and excellent support
This day hiking shoe uses nubuck leather and an abrasion-resistant textile for its upper. Rendering protection from water encounters is the brand-owned technology, the BDry membrane. It lets moisture inside escape and blocks water from seeping into the shoe. The breathable mesh panels also enhance ventilation.
Easy to wear
An external molded heel counter keeps the heel in place, preventing slippage. Overlays are placed on the toe and midfoot to the heel area. It helps maintain the structure of the shoe and adds protection against rock-strewn trails. Pull tabs are located at the heel and top of the tongue for easier on and off.
