What to know about Oboz Footwear
Oboz — short for "Out of Bozeman" — makes hiking, backpacking, trail and winter footwear from Bozeman, Montana. Founded in 2007 by outdoor-industry veteran John Connelly, with boots reaching stores in 2008, it builds supportive, waterproof leather and mesh boots such as the Bridger, Sawtooth and Katabatic, all fitted with its own contoured O FIT insole. The brand is B Corp certified and emphasizes tree planting and lower-impact materials. It has been owned by New Zealand's Kathmandu Holdings, now KMD Brands, since a 2018 acquisition.
How Oboz Footwear fits
Overall fit
true to size
Oboz hiking footwear is generally reported to fit true to size with a supportive, medium-volume last and a slightly roomier toe box, though the built-in O FIT insole feels high-arched to some.
Tip: Order your normal size; wide feet may want the wide option, and the O FIT insole gives noticeable arch support.
