FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

While the BDry membrane offers waterproofing, these shoes are not insulated for extreme winter conditions. They are best suited for 3-season use or milder winter conditions.

How do I break in these hiking shoes?

While designed for comfort, it's recommended to wear them for shorter walks and hikes initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure proper lacing techniques are used during the break-in period.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the BFit Deluxe insoles can be removed, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if desired.

How long does the BDry waterproofing typically last?

The BDry waterproof breathable membrane is engineered for durability. With proper care, it should provide reliable waterproofing for the expected lifespan of the shoe.

Are these shoes good for wide feet?

The fit is generally considered standard. If you have significantly wide feet, trying them on in person or checking for wider width options (if available) is recommended.

What is the main difference between the Low B Dry and other Oboz models?

The 'Low' designation refers to the cut (below the ankle), and 'B Dry' signifies the proprietary waterproof membrane. This model is specifically engineered for agile, supportive, and dry performance on varied trails.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp inside

Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If the issue persists after multiple uses, the BDry membrane might be compromised, or water may be entering from the top opening; ensure laces are tied securely and consider gaiters in very wet conditions.

Shoes feel loose or slip

Adjust lacing to create a more secure fit, paying attention to heel lockdown. Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness for the shoe size.

Traction feels inadequate

Clean the outsole lugs of any packed mud or debris. The Granite Peak outsole is designed for a variety of surfaces, but extreme conditions may require different footwear.

Discomfort on descents (toe bang)

Ensure the shoe is laced properly to secure the heel and prevent the foot from sliding forward. Webbing eyelets are designed to mitigate this, but fit remains critical.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing keeps feet dry.
  • Durable construction suitable for rough trails.
  • Provides good support and stability on uneven ground.
  • Comfortable cushioning for extended wear.
  • Designed to prevent common discomforts like toe pinch.

Cons

  • Low-cut design offers less ankle support than boots.
  • Leather upper may require occasional conditioning.
  • May be warmer than non-waterproof options in hot, dry conditions.
  • Requires proper lacing for optimal fit and performance.
  • Not designed for deep water submersion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure proper lacing for a secure and comfortable fit, adjusting tightness based on the terrain and activity. A snug fit around the heel is recommended to prevent slippage.

Compatibility: Suitable for hiking, trekking, scrambling, and general outdoor activities. Compatible with most standard hiking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  2. Waterproofing Maintenance: The BDry membrane is designed for longevity. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can degrade the materials. Periodic treatment of the nubuck leather upper with a suitable leather conditioner can help maintain its suppleness and water resistance.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
