The Oboz Sawtooth Ascent Mid B-DRY is designed for hikers who prioritize stability and rugged protection on uneven terrain. It excels at providing a secure fit with its signature heel cup and generous toe box, making it an ideal choice for long-distance trekking and day hiking alike. While the boot offers exceptional grip and waterproofing, users should note that the stiff construction requires a brief break-in period to achieve maximum comfort.

Yes, this specific model is a 'Wide' fit, which provides extra room in the forefoot and toe box area.
Yes, the factory insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own specialized orthotics if needed.
Keep the exterior clean and occasionally use a leather or fabric-safe waterproofing spray to maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
They provide excellent protection and traction, but they are not heavily insulated. They work well for three-season hiking and mild winter conditions with warm socks.
Depending on usage, consider replacing the insoles every 300 to 500 miles or whenever you notice a significant decrease in cushioning.
The boots have a sturdy build and require a breaking-in period. Try wearing them around the house with your hiking socks for a few hours at a time to allow the leather and fabrics to contour to your feet.
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks rather than cotton, which traps sweat. Check that the B-DRY membrane is not blocked by excessive debris or dried mud on the exterior.
To ensure the longevity of your boots, begin by wearing them for short walks on flat surfaces to break in the stiff materials before attempting long, steep climbs. Ensure your hiking socks are of appropriate thickness to match the boot's volume; while the forefoot is spacious, an overly thin sock may cause excess movement.
For care, remove the insoles after wet hikes to allow the interior to dry completely. Avoid placing the boots near direct heat sources like heaters or fireplaces, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane and adhesives. Clean the exterior with a soft brush and lukewarm water to remove dried mud, and periodically re-treat the upper materials if you notice water no longer beads off the surface.
