Great product so far! oboz bridger bdry hiking boot - mens - Oboz Bridger Mid B-DRY Hiking Shoes - Men's

So far I'm very happy with the new Oboz boots. Have'nt hiked significant miles on them yet. Lacing system seems adequate. i do like the metal vs plastic hooks at the top. 14 medium/regular and Fit is great for my long narrow foot. I maeasure 14.5 US standing on the shoe store measuring device and these have ample toe room. No hot spots or heal lift and intially they feel like they were made for my foot. Have been a long time wearer of Solomon and decided to make a leap and try a new brand. Got 5 good years of waterproof use from the solomons until the GTX membrane gave up the ghost. No experience with "BDry" so we'll see. The rear of shaft is noticeably shorter than my old solomons which may preset an issue on a rainy day if my rain pants are not long enough, exposing the opening and allowing water to enter as it runs down pant legs. Tread is aggressive and "sticky" on varies terrain and extra toe protection is a plus. Design is simple and timeless, color was slightly darker than show online but inconsequential as they will be dirty soon enough. Overall, good to go!
