The Oboz hiking shoes are generally well-received for their comfort, support, and durability. Customers praise the shoes for being comfortable right out of the box, providing excellent arch support, and being suitable for a variety of outdoor activities. The shoes are described as rugged, waterproof, and having great traction, making them well-suited for challenging terrain. However, some customers experienced fit issues, with the shoes feeling too narrow or tight, and a few reported problems with water penetration and noise.
Great product at a fair price . Highly recommended

Terrible On Ice

Hard to imagine worse soles for any slippery surface, no grip whatever, from I think both tread design and sole material. To replace them, I bought some LL Bean brand walking shoe

My Favorite Shoes.
Fit - Width: True to size
My third pair of Oboz. The other two are still in great condition. I'm a 9 medium, but with Oboz, I go 9.5 wide. They are a bit narrow so consider the wide option.

Great hikers in every way, except for one thing. When on wet smooth surface they can take off like Ice Skates.
