The Oboz Sawtooth Ascent Mid B-DRY is designed for dedicated hikers and backpackers who require a balance of rugged durability and long-distance comfort on unpredictable terrain. Its primary strength lies in the combination of a high-traction Vibram outsole and a reliable waterproof membrane, making it an excellent companion for wet or rocky environments; however, potential users should note that the sturdier construction may require a short break-in period to reach optimal flexibility.

The Sawtooth Ascent is known for its generous, accommodating toe box, which generally fits a wide variety of foot shapes comfortably.
Yes, the O FIT insoles are removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if preferred.
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For deep cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner and allow the boots to dry in a well-ventilated area.
They are water-resistant and grippy, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. Use thick thermal socks for cooler conditions.
Longevity depends on terrain and frequency of use, but the high-quality suede and Vibram outsole are designed for long-term durability on rugged trails.
Try adjusting your lacing technique. Use a 'window lacing' pattern over the pressure point, or switch to a thinner sock to see if the fit improves.
Ensure your pant cuffs are not funneling water into the top of the boot. If the exterior is saturated, the breathability may be compromised, so clean the surface to allow the membrane to function correctly.
To ensure your boots last, it is recommended to wear them around the house or on short walks to 'break in' the suede and midsole before embarking on a multi-day hike. Regarding care, always brush off loose dirt after a trail session using a soft-bristled brush. If the suede becomes heavily soiled, use a dedicated suede cleaner and allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or campfires, as excessive heat can degrade the adhesives and leather. Because these boots feature a high-volume fit in the toe box, they are highly compatible with thicker wool hiking socks, which provide additional moisture-wicking and cushioning benefits.
