FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Oboz Sawtooth X Mid B-DRY features a wider forefoot and toe box compared to some boots, offering more room. However, they are designed for standard medium-high volume feet. Trying them on is the best way to determine if the fit is comfortable for your specific foot width.
How do I break in these hiking boots?
It's recommended to wear the boots for short periods around the house or on easy, short walks initially. Gradually increase the duration and difficulty of your hikes to allow the boots to mold to your feet and identify any potential fit issues.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are replaceable. The boots use standard eyelets and hooks, so you can use any compatible hiking boot laces. The original laces are made from 100% RPET Repreve.
What is the weight of a single boot?
A single Oboz Sawtooth X Mid B-DRY boot weighs approximately 19.4 oz (550 grams).
How effective is the B-DRY waterproofing?
B-DRY is a proprietary waterproof-breathable membrane designed to keep water out while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in wet conditions.
What type of terrain are these boots best for?
These boots are designed for a variety of trail conditions, including dirt paths, rocky terrain, and moderate inclines. They offer good support and traction for day hikes and multi-day trekking.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the boots.
Ensure the B-DRY membrane is intact and not damaged. Check that the laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress around the ankle collar. Confirm that socks are not holding excessive moisture. If the issue persists, the waterproof membrane may be compromised.
Discomfort or rubbing on the heel.
The form-hugging heel cup is designed for a secure fit. Try adjusting the lacing to provide more or less pressure around the ankle. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, the fit might not be ideal for your foot shape.
Traction feels insufficient on slippery surfaces.
The outsole is designed for a variety of terrains. Ensure the tread is not clogged with mud or debris. For extremely slick conditions, consider using additional traction devices. The grip may naturally decrease with significant wear on the outsole.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready for the trail. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them around the house for a short period to break them in before embarking on long hikes.
Compatibility: The Oboz Sawtooth X Mid B-DRY is designed for hiking and walking on various terrains, from dirt trails to rocky paths. It is compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically inspect the B-DRY membrane and upper materials. While the membrane is highly durable, conditioning the oiled nubuck upper with appropriate leather care products can help maintain its water resistance and flexibility.
