FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Bridger Low Bdry shoes are designed with a standard fit. While the webbing eyelets can help reduce toe pinch, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on or consulting a size guide is recommended.

How long does the waterproofing last?

The Oboz BDry waterproof membrane is durable. However, the longevity depends on usage and care. Regular cleaning and occasional reapplication of waterproofing treatments will help maintain its effectiveness.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the BFit Deluxe Dual Density EVA Midsole is designed to accommodate aftermarket insoles if you require a different type of support or cushioning.

What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?

It is recommended to wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made of wool or synthetic blends. These help manage sweat and prevent blisters, complementing the shoe's breathability and waterproof features.

How do I know if I have the right size?

When trying them on, ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when your heel is firmly against the back. Your heel should feel secure and not lift excessively when walking.

Are these shoes good for climbing or scrambling?

The shoes offer good support and traction suitable for moderate scrambling due to the TPU chassis and grippy outsole. However, they are primarily designed as walking shoes and may lack the specific features and stiffness required for technical climbing.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp despite waterproof claims

Ensure the BDry membrane is intact and not compromised. Check that socks are not overly wet from sweat and that no water has entered from the top opening. Allow shoes to dry completely and consider re-applying waterproofing treatment if the exterior seems to be absorbing water.

Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear

This is common with new hiking shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house or on easy, short walks to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks that provide cushioning and prevent friction.

Traction feels insufficient on slippery surfaces

While the Granite Peak outsole offers good traction, extremely slick surfaces like wet polished rock or ice may still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris that could impede grip. For icy conditions, consider specialized traction devices.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance keeps feet dry.
  • Robust support system with TPU chassis and EVA midsole for stability.
  • Durable construction using nubuck leather and abrasion-resistant textile.
  • Designed to minimize common hiking discomforts like toe pinch.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Lighter hikers might find the support system more than necessary.
  • Brown color may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shoes are ready for adventure right out of the box, but a short break-in period is recommended for optimal comfort. They are designed for general outdoor use with hiking socks. To care for your Oboz Bridger shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner for tougher grime. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or fire.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically apply a suitable waterproofing treatment for leather and textile materials to maintain the BDry membrane's effectiveness and the leather's condition.
