Product Information

Full details

The Oboz Sawtooth Ascent Mid B-DRY is designed for dedicated hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable, rugged boot for challenging trails and uneven terrain. Its key strength lies in the combination of a breathable waterproof membrane and an advanced traction-focused outsole, ensuring comfort and stability on long treks. While these boots offer exceptional support and durability, users should be aware that the sturdy construction may require a short break-in period to reach maximum comfort.

FAQs

Are these boots true to size?

Yes, they generally run true to size, but the 'Wide' designation provides extra room in the forefoot and mid-foot compared to standard widths.

Can I replace the factory insoles?

Yes, the O FIT insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if you have specific clinical needs.

How often should I re-waterproof the suede?

It is recommended to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after significant trips or whenever you notice water no longer beads up on the surface.

Can I wear these for winter hiking?

They are suitable for three-season hiking and light snow, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.

How do I clean the Vibram outsole?

Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove dried mud from the lug pattern after your hike to ensure the rubber maintains its grip on your next outing.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the boot

Adjust the lacing system to be tighter at the mid-foot, or consider using a thicker pair of merino wool hiking socks to improve the volume fit.

Stiff sensation during initial walks

Wear the boots indoors for short periods before hitting the trail to allow the suede and midsole to flex and mold to your foot shape.

Water entering from the top of the boot

Ensure that your pants or gaiters are properly covering the collar of the boot, as moisture can enter over the top even if the membrane is functional.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on technical terrain
  • Effective waterproof protection
  • Supportive and anatomical insole design
  • Durable suede exterior
  • Accommodating wide-fit profile

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period
  • Heavier than minimalist trail shoes
  • Less breathable than non-waterproof summer boots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, pair these boots with moisture-wicking hiking socks of appropriate thickness. Since this model is a Wide fit, verify that your heel remains locked in place while the forefoot has enough room for toe splay. Care for your boots by removing dirt after every hike with a soft brush and water. Because the upper is made of suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a water-repellent spray periodically to maintain the integrity of the waterproofing and the appearance of the material. Avoid drying them near high-heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the adhesives and warp the midsole material; instead, air dry them at room temperature with the insoles removed.
