FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, the Oboz Sawtooth Ascent is primarily designed for hiking and rugged outdoor activities. Their robust construction and tread pattern are optimized for trails rather than casual urban use.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner can be applied sparingly, followed by brushing. Always allow the shoes to air dry.

What is the main advantage of the B-DRY waterproof membrane?

The B-DRY membrane provides reliable waterproof protection, keeping your feet dry from external moisture like rain or puddles, while still allowing some breathability to manage internal moisture.

Can these shoes accommodate custom insoles?

Yes, the standard width and medium-high volume design generally allow for the use of aftermarket insoles or orthotics. You may need to remove the factory insole.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

They are ideal for varied hiking terrains, including rocky paths, moderate inclines, muddy trails, and general off-road conditions where durability and traction are important.

How much do these shoes weigh?

The Oboz Sawtooth Ascent hiking shoes weigh approximately 16.8 oz (476 g) per shoe.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite waterproof claim.

Ensure the B-DRY membrane is intact and not compromised. Check for any visible tears. Make sure the laces are tied snugly to prevent water ingress from the top.

Discomfort or rubbing around the ankle.

Verify the shoe size and width are correct. The rolled collar lining should provide comfort, but try adjusting lacing techniques or using different socks.

Reduced traction on slippery surfaces.

Clean the outsole tread of mud or debris, as this can significantly impact grip. Ensure the terrain is within the shoe's capabilities.

Shoes feel heavy during long hikes.

The weight is a trade-off for durability and support. Ensure proper fit and consider conditioning to improve comfort over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection keeping feet dry.
  • Durable materials ensure long-lasting use on tough trails.
  • Good ankle comfort due to the rolled collar lining.
  • Stable design provides support on uneven terrain.
  • Reliable traction for various outdoor conditions.

Cons

  • May not be ideal for individuals with very wide or narrow feet.
  • Suede material may require specific care to maintain appearance.
  • Weight of 16.8 oz per shoe might be noticeable on very long treks.
  • Primarily designed for hiking; may be less suitable for casual wear.
  • Waterproof membrane, while effective, can sometimes reduce overall breathability in extreme heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. We recommend wearing them for short walks initially to break them in.

Compatibility: Designed for male adults, UK size 12, with a standard width foot. They are best suited for hiking and outdoor activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild soap. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  2. Waterproofing: The B-DRY membrane is durable, but avoid exposing the shoes to excessive heat or harsh chemicals, which can degrade the material.
  3. Suede Care: Use a suede brush to maintain the nap and remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by brushing.
