FAQs

Are these boots suitable for heavy-duty trekking?

The Oboz Ousel Mid is designed for easygoing hikes and general wear. For technical mountain terrain or heavy backpacking, a more specialized boot might be required.

How do I ensure the best fit?

We recommend trying them on with the type of socks you plan to wear. Check for adequate space in the toe box and a secure heel fit without slippage.

Can I machine wash these boots?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and waterproofing. Spot clean with a damp cloth and appropriate leather cleaners.

What does LWG Gold Certified mean for the leather?

LWG (Leather Working Group) Gold Certified means the tannery meets high environmental standards in its production processes, ensuring responsible sourcing and manufacturing.

How long does the waterproofing typically last?

The B-DRY membrane is designed for durability. However, its effectiveness can be prolonged by proper care and periodic reapplication of waterproofing treatments to the leather components.

What is the warranty period for these boots?

Please refer to the retailer or Oboz's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp after use in wet conditions.

Ensure the B-DRY membrane is intact. Check for any tears or damage. Reapply waterproofing treatment to the leather and seams. Make sure laces are tied tightly to prevent water ingress from the top.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.

Allow for a break-in period by wearing them for short durations initially. Gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose. Consider wearing thicker hiking socks.

Leather shows signs of drying or cracking.

Apply a leather conditioner or balm specifically designed for nubuck leather. This will rehydrate the material and prevent further damage.

Care:
