FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

While the B-DRY membrane offers waterproofing, the Oboz Sawtooth Ascent is primarily designed for three-season hiking. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider a dedicated winter boot.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A proper fit should allow for comfortable toe room when standing, with no heel slippage when walking. The C heel and D forefoot width is standard, so try them on with your usual hiking socks.

Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproof membrane. Hand wash gently as per the care instructions.

What is the weight of the Oboz Sawtooth Ascent?

The weight is approximately 16.8 oz (476 g) per shoe.

How often should I reapply waterproofing treatments?

Reapply waterproofing treatments as needed, typically every few months of regular use or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface of the materials.

What does 'LWG Gold Standard leather' mean?

LWG Gold Standard certification indicates that the leather used has been sourced and tanned in a responsible and environmentally conscious manner, meeting high standards for ethical production.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Try removing the insoles for a temporary increase in volume, or consider if a different width or size is needed.

Water is seeping into the shoes.

Check the integrity of the B-DRY membrane and the shoe's seams. Ensure any waterproofing treatments are up-to-date. Minor leaks may require professional repair.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.

Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the tread is not excessively worn down.

Suede material appears dry or discolored.

Clean the shoes and apply a suede protector or conditioner specifically designed for outdoor footwear.
