FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Oboz Sawtooth Ascent features a standard width fit with a medium-high volume. While comfortable for many, individuals with very wide feet may find them restrictive. We recommend trying them on in person or checking customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet.
How do I break in my new Oboz hiking shoes?
Start by wearing them around the house for short periods. Gradually increase the duration and distance of wear on shorter walks before embarking on long hikes. Ensure laces are adjusted for comfort during the break-in process.
Can I wear these shoes in hot weather?
While the B-DRY membrane offers waterproofing, it also slightly reduces breathability. These shoes are best suited for moderate to cool weather. For very hot conditions, consider footwear with more advanced ventilation.
What is the weight of these shoes?
Each Oboz Sawtooth Ascent hiking shoe weighs approximately 16.8 oz (476 g).
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatments?
It's recommended to reapply waterproofing treatments for the suede and fabric annually or whenever you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, especially after cleaning.
Do these shoes have removable insoles?
Yes, the Oboz Sawtooth Ascent comes with supportive insoles that can be removed, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage despite B-DRY membrane
Ensure the laces are fully tightened and the tongue is properly aligned to prevent water ingress. Check for any tears or damage to the membrane or seams. Reapply a waterproofing treatment to the exterior if necessary.
Foot fatigue or discomfort on long hikes
Ensure the shoes fit correctly and are adequately broken in. Consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning if needed. Ensure socks provide adequate padding.
Poor traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsoles to remove any mud or debris that may be clogging the treads. Reapply the waterproofing spray, as this can sometimes improve grip slightly. If the issue persists, consider the surface conditions; extremely slick surfaces may challenge any tread pattern.
Suede material looks worn or stained
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and performance. The lace system allows for personalized tightening.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males seeking hiking footwear. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. For those with very narrow or wide feet, testing the fit is recommended due to the standard width and medium-high volume.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or a towel and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. This prevents the leather from cracking or deteriorating.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the suede upper with a suede protector spray to maintain water resistance and appearance. Use a suede brush to restore the nap.
- Laces: Check laces regularly for wear and tear and replace as needed.
