Oboz Bridger Mid B-DRY Walking Boots (2E Width)

While the all-leather upper of the Bridger nods to classic hikers of yore, there's nothing old-fashioned about these stats: a pliable, extra comfortable collar; a lightweight TPU forefoot plate that preserves the shoe's integrity; B-DRY waterproofing; metal hardware and a lightweight, aggressive outsole. Get going now: the Bridger's leather goodness comes with practically no break-in time.

Nubuck Leather Upper

A Nubuck leather upper will encase your feet in supple, waterproof comfort; supporting you as you tackle tricky trails. To avoid damp feet and therefore dampened spirits, Oboz introduces B-DRY. B-DRY shoes keep feet dry through creeks, mud, rain and sweat, thanks to three key components: The crux is Oboz's proprietary tape-sealed, polyurethane film bootie, which waterproof shoes but still lets sweat escape, so your feet don't develop that distracting clammy feeling. Secondly, all of Oboz's B-DRY shoes come with hydrophobic upper materials, meaning the rest of the shoe won't absorb water, and feet won't become highly saturated and heavy after walking through streams. Finally, the textile lining inside BDry boots wicks sweat away, so feet stay dry from the inside out. A moulded heel counter helps the shoes maintain a snug, comfortable hold over time; gripping your feet, mile after mile. The moulded rubber toe cap reinforces the shoe's hard-wearing, protective state; guarding your feet against jutting roots, rocks and general trail hazards. The lacing system allows you to create a secure and personalised fit (these shoes also come with a different coloured pair of laces for versatility).

Single-Density EVA Midsole

Inside the midsole, an O-FIT triple-density insole lies atop a single-density EVA platform. Oboz has fitted the Bridger with an O-FIT insole. The anatomically designed insole has low-density EVA pods that provide cushioning and comfort. A high-density EVA heel cup provides optimal support and improves natural cushioning making you feel supreme comfort on all your adventures. This insole maximises stability and support; with a supportive arch and a deep cushioning heel cup. Moisture-wicking fabrics have also been used to keep the feet dry and the boots well-ventilated, reducing sweat build-up. Engineered to support the arch and put the foot in a neutral position, this purpose-designed technology delivers the fit, feel and performance you need. The single-density EVA midsole is shock-absorbing to help spare your joints as you make risky leaps and landings on hard, unforgiving terrain.

Granite Peak Outsole

A Granite Peak outsole completes the Oboz Bridger. This quintessential hiking outsole, with its toothy side lugs that hug off-camber trails, and 4mm directional lugs studding the sole, gives you traction and stability on every surface. A lightweight TPU chassis acts as a featherweight, underfoot armour; boosting stability and preventing stone bruising without inhibiting flex. Don't let your footwear dictate where you walk to.
