FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
The Oboz Women's Bridger Mid BDRY Walking Boot offers waterproofing and good traction, making them suitable for moderate winter conditions. However, they are not insulated for extreme cold and may require additional thermal socks for very low temperatures.
How do I determine the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and width and compare it with Oboz's sizing chart. Trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking is also advised, as fit can vary.
Can these boots be resoled?
Information regarding resoling is not provided in the product description. For specific queries about resoling or repair services, it is best to contact Oboz customer support directly.
What is the weight of the boots?
The weight for a women's size 7 (half pair) is approximately 16.2 oz (459 g).
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A general guideline is to reapply a waterproofing treatment annually or whenever you notice the water repellency of the leather decreasing.
Can I wear these boots for everyday use?
Yes, the classic styling and comfort make them suitable for everyday wear, especially for activities involving a lot of walking or standing.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or cause discomfort
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and appropriate socks. Use the lacing system to adjust the fit. If discomfort persists, consider if the specific boot shape is suitable for your foot type. For initial wear, limit your hikes to shorter durations.
Water seeping into the boots
Check the integrity of the B-DRY membrane and the Nubuck leather. Ensure laces and tongue are properly secured. If the waterproofing appears compromised, reapply a suitable leather waterproofing treatment. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole tread of mud, dirt, or debris, as this can reduce grip. The Granite Peak outsole is designed for traction, but extreme conditions may still present challenges. Ensure the boots are not excessively worn.
Leather scuffs or marks
Use a nubuck cleaner and a suede brush to gently remove scuffs. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner suitable for Nubuck can help restore appearance. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, these boots are suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including walking, hiking, and travel. They are compatible with most types of hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically inspect the B-DRY membrane and Nubuck leather. Consider using a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for leather hiking boots to maintain water resistance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably with boot trees to help maintain their shape. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
