Love them

By Bear from Knox, TN on 08/22/2009

Heavy, Stiff

I really do like them. I am a size 9 usually but I got 9.5 and they are a perfect fit. In every way: length and width. Maybe I am a 9.5 after all, these shoes companies are driving me mad. Sole is stiff but it will pay off on the track, feels like very food quality. Feel comfortable.

Quality Light Walking Shoe

By bigskyadventurist from West Yellowstone, Montana on 08/02/2009

Pros:
Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Light and breathable, Stable
Cons:
Low Cut, Not Water Resistant

Everyday, Very Short Day Hikes
Describe Yourself:
Outdoor Professional
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Width:
Feels true to width
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good quality everyday outdoor and street shoe. Not a good choice for true hiking, due to the low cut allowing debris to enter the shoe. Well suited for geyser gazing on the boardwalks and light trail walking in Yellowstone and around town.Designed and marketed in Bozeman Montana.

Oboz shoes

By road runner from central Montana on 08/02/2009

Pros:
Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Stable, The heel is wide, The shank is too light, The toe box is wide
Cons:
Not Water Resistant
Best Uses:
Day hikes, Everyday
Describe Yourself:
Casual Adventurer
Sizing:
Feels half size too big
Width:
Feels too wide
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The shoes seem well made. However the shank is too flexible (non-existent after a couple of days). Both the heel and toe box are about size EEE. For a person with a wide foot this is great. Very comfortable

Didn't work for me

By Israel the Travel from Seattle on 07/11/2009

Pros:
Great Traction
Best Uses:
Day hikes
Describe Yourself:
Casual Adventurer
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Width:
Feels too narrow
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I tried both the 11.5 and 12 sizes, and the Oboz Hyalite simply didn't fit my feet properly. I was disappointed as reviews on the Hyalite are positive.

Happy Toes

By TrailHacker from Santa Barbara, CA on 07/07/2009

Pros:
Comfortable, Great Traction, Open toe box, Stable
Best Uses:
Backcountry, Day hikes
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Width:
Feels true to width
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

One reviewer complained that the shoes felt too loose. Oboz is known for their open toe box. They give you plenty of room for your toes but have a good fit in the midfoot. Since I hike a lot on unlevel ground, My toes are always getting mashed. I've only had these for a few days (and one 12 mile, 2500 elevation hike) but so far I have happy toes. Can't comment on durability yet.
