5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable Boots, January 2, 2010

By	Ciara (Somewhere in glorious Alaska) - See all my reviews

I bought these boots in 2008, while on an extensive road trip. Since I live in Alaska, I had a few misgivings about how well they would hold up here, in the rugged terrain and the especially harsh winter season. It turns out that I have been wearing them non-stop ever since, in every season. It's now January, a year and a half later.

From the minute I tried them on, my feet felt fantastic ("they run small", they advised me, so I tried on the next half-size up, and they were right). I wore them all through my travels, then and now, and have been continuously amazed at how well they are holding up, no matter what I put them through. I don't know how they do it, but they continue to look brand new.

On my trip in '08, I trudged countless hot, steamy cement sidewalks in unfamiliar towns, and also had to move quickly on steep and sometimes slippery trails, covering lots of terrain. Throughout it all, whether in city or country, my feet remained cool and comfortable, and I was always able to go on. Now that I am on my home turf, this is where I thought I'd find limitations... Last summer in '09, my leather boots stayed in the closet, they never saw daylight. Now that it's winter, I do have and use hardcore snow boots, yet I've been using these equally as often, depending on the circumstances. They do keep my feet plenty warm down to minus degrees if I wear two (thin) layers of socks. I still play it safe, and do wear them with ice grippers for added traction.

And speaking of traction, the soles alone are a marvel. They have the best combination of knobs and diamond shapes and ridges and angles I've seen. I dare to make moves while wearing them on rocky and rugged terrain, and when on gravel or sand, they stabilize my balance better than any other boot. The tag insert says "Sticky Non-Marking Outsoles with Multi-Directional Lug Patterns". In addition, no matter how long I wear them, I have yet to experience any rubbing, blisters, callouses or any other kind of discomfort. It seems to have something to do with the way they are constructed. Again, from the tag insert "Multi-Density Anatomically Correct Insoles - 3-D Molded External Heel Counter - Multi-Density Propulsion From Midsoles - Radial fit System - Engineered Integration of Upper and Bottom. Maximized Foot Control & Stability". The tag also says "Oboz will plant a tree with the purchase of these boots, in partnership with Trees for the Future". Planet Earth gets to benefit, as well.

And while I'm wearing them, my feet are just plain happy. I call them my Magic Boots.

They have become so valuable to me, I have just purchased my second pair. I hope to be enjoying them for a very long while.
