FAQs

Are these boots suitable for heavy hiking or mountaineering?

The Oboz Ousel Mid is designed for easygoing hikes and general wear. For heavy hiking or technical terrain, consider boots with more robust support and construction.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to Oboz's official size chart, which usually provides measurements to help you find the best fit for your foot.

How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?

This depends on usage and environmental conditions. Generally, reapply once or twice a year, or when you notice water no longer beads on the surface.

Can I machine wash these boots?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, waterproof membrane, and adhesives.

What does 'LWG Gold Certified' mean for the leather?

LWG (Leather Working Group) Gold Certification indicates that the tannery meets high environmental standards for water use, energy consumption, and waste management.

Are replacement laces available?

Yes, typically compatible replacement laces can be found through Oboz retailers or specialized outdoor gear stores.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through.

Ensure the B-DRY membrane is intact and laces are securely fastened. Reapply leather waterproofing treatment if necessary. Clean any mud or debris from seams.

Discomfort or rubbing.

Break in the boots gradually on shorter walks. Ensure proper lacing technique for a secure but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing thicker socks.

Leather appears dry or stiff.

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for nubuck leather to restore moisture and flexibility.

Mesh feels less breathable over time.

Gently clean the mesh areas with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt or debris that might impede airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Waterproof construction keeps feet dry.
  • Durable and comfortable nubuck leather upper.
  • Good breathability for extended wear.
  • Added protection on toe and heel.
  • Stylish design suitable for various casual settings.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Best suited for moderate trails, not extreme conditions.
  • Laces may require occasional re-tightening.
  • Brown color may show scuffs more readily than lighter colors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box for most users. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit, not too tight or too loose, before your first outing.

Compatibility: Designed for general walking and light hiking. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather-specific waterproofing treatment to maintain the nubuck leather's protection and suppleness. Refer to product-specific care instructions from Oboz for best results.
  3. Drying: If the boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the leather and waterproofing.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
