Great fit and comfort. Wear the shoe for work about three times a week. I live in a hot weather climate year around (Hawaii) and feet stay cool. Somewhat water resistant and in light rain or walking through puddles, feet stay dry. Love the shoe and will probably buy another pair.

I really like these shoes. I work in a very hot climate that has somewhat rocky and sandy terrain. Regular boots were just too heavy and hot. I wanted something light, comfortable, and durable. The Sabot Low has met my needs perfectly. I've been wearing them now for two months, and they've worked out very well. The souls are tough and durable but without making the shoe heavy. The sizing seems pretty true. I normally wear 11.5 or 12s in shoes depending on brand and style. I ordered a size 12 and they fit fine on me...comfortably snug. I definitely recommend these shoes.

Decent shoes. They're a little stiff so if you are going to go hiking with them, you'll need a "breaking-in" period. I got them about 10 days before my trip and I was glad I did. I wore them everyday to get them comfortable before I left. Also, they ran a half size small for me. I normally wear a 10 but had to return them for 10.5. Just a heads-up. Overall a solid shoe and comfortable once you break them in.

I got them and almost immeadiately sent them back..I am sure they are good shoes, but they need to make them true to size and also maybe consider making a wide version..Oh well, back to NB!!

Nice pair of shoes, it's kind of thight in the center area and hugs your feet slight more than your average shoe. Buy one size bigger due to this effect. Rubber sole is kind of noisy when you walk, but the noise stops after you break them in. It provides great foot support.

Reasons I like this pair of shoes.

My doctor recommended that I get shoes with arch support and when I tested a pair of this shoes it felt great. The support was there and the softness of the sole as well. Besides needing arch support I also need soft soles since I have bone spurs at the bottom of my feet and after wearing this for one day but my feet felt fine. I also like that it is all black or all beige. It helps being able to match it with my work clothes and no one notices that I am not wearing business shoes.


Wishlist.

I would buy another pair if they cost less.

Yes, these shoes are a pretty penny, and I took a gamble buying these online not having the opportunity to test the correct size. I made an educated guess and took the previous reviews with a grain of salt. I felt comfortable with my typical shoe size 8. So, I ordered the size 8. I could not be happier with this shoe. All around comfort and it fits snug, for this 5'3 leprechaun.

This boot is something great to have. It feels great on the foot after long wearing, and it is something that I would recommend!

I bought this shoe about two years ago from oakley.com for about 100 dollars free shipping. It is very comfortable. I work in muddy cold environment and this shoe protected me and keep my feet feels dry, worm, and very comfortable.

Never knew Oakley even made shoes, but I was looking for a very specific set of features in a shoe and the Sabot low was the only thing I found that came close. I wanted a low cut hiking shoe with breathability, but not mesh. Here in San Diego there's these grasses called foxtails that have horrible seeds that will penetrate ANY type of open mesh as found on most vented hikers. You either have to get an all leather shoe and have your feet be really hot or suffer the foxtails. These seem to be pretty good so far, the vent material is Cordura which is tightly woven enough to prevent the foxtails from burrowing in to them, while being cooler than an all leather shoe. They're not waterproof, but in SoCal that's not as important for me.

Anyways, so far they're fairly comfortable. The laces are too small dia and the top eyelet could use a second one that's not so far back, but it's manageable. Size seems about dead on for me, I'm a 12 and tried a 12.5 based on other reviews but they were too big so I exchanged them for a 12. Heel is pretty stable, doesn't slip too badly. Only thing looks-wise is the finish on either side of the tongue opening- it's rough cut and not finished at all... it looks cheap but doesn't really take away from the performance of the shoe at all. If you get them directly from the Oakley.com store they have a 45day money-back guarantee, and a 90 warranty on top of that. Most of their stuff seems geared towards a military user, so hopefully they end up lasting a while...
