FAQs

Are the Oboz Sawtooth Ascent shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Sawtooth Ascent has a standard width fit with a C heel and D forefoot, described as medium-high volume. While accommodating for many, individuals with exceptionally wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.

How do I break in these hiking shoes?

Wear them for short walks around the house or on easy, familiar trails for increasing durations. Pay attention to any pressure points and adjust lacing accordingly. The materials will naturally conform to your foot shape over time.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different aftermarket insoles if desired.

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

The B-DRY membrane provides reliable waterproofing to keep your feet dry from external moisture while allowing perspiration vapor to escape, maintaining breathability and comfort.

How much do these shoes weigh?

Each Oboz Sawtooth Ascent hiking shoe weighs approximately 16.8 oz (476 g).

Are these shoes good for everyday wear?

While comfortable, their design is optimized for trail performance. For everyday casual wear, you might find lighter or more flexible options more suitable, but they can certainly be worn casually if preferred.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite the waterproof membrane.

Ensure the shoe is properly laced to seal out water. Check for any tears or damage to the B-DRY membrane. Excessive external water pressure or immersion may eventually lead to some seepage.

Poor traction on slippery surfaces.

Clean the outsole treads to remove mud or debris that can impair grip. Ensure the outsole material has not worn down significantly; consider replacement if heavily worn.

Discomfort or rubbing around the ankle.

Ensure the shoes are laced correctly, not too tight or too loose. The rolled collar lining is designed for comfort, but break-in may be needed for new wearers.

Shoes smell after use.

Remove insoles and air dry shoes thoroughly after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing with the B-DRY membrane.
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged trails.
  • Good traction and stability on varied surfaces.
  • Comfortable cushioning for all-day wear.
  • Breathable materials help manage foot temperature.

Cons

  • May feel slightly heavy for very fast-paced hikes.
  • Medium-high volume fit might not suit all foot shapes.
  • Suede requires proper care to maintain appearance and performance.
  • Primarily designed for trail hiking, less suited for casual urban wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Oboz Sawtooth Ascent hiking shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Designed for hiking and walking on trails. They are compatible with most hiking socks. Not designed for technical climbing or specific sports.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  2. Waterproofing: The B-DRY membrane is permanent. Periodically clean the shoe to maintain breathability. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the materials and waterproofing.
  3. Suede Care: Use a suede brush to restore the nap after cleaning and drying. Consider using a suede protectant spray for added water and stain resistance.
