Oboz Sawtooth X Low B-DRY Walking Shoes

The Sawtooth X Low Waterproof is even more capable than Oboz's beloved original. It has a new outsole for superior traction and a new Adaptive Cushioning Technology midsole for an even smoother ride. But among all this new-ness it retains the same great fit and feel and Oboz's B-DRY waterproof technology, so you can be confident taking on the trail, puddle-filled or otherwise.

Upper Construction

The upper has been carefully constructed using specific materials to enhance your walking experience. B-DRY is the waterproof technology from Oboz which has been designed to keep everything from getting in but lets all that sweat escape. This increases the excellent breathability which is already provided by the Sawtooth as the upper is constructed using mesh, which means that there is optimal ventilation. A rubber heel counter ensures your feet stay locked in and increases stability making it easier to tackle that tough terrain. Providing you with excellent comfort is the ankle-friendly asymmetrical collar giving you protection in all of the key areas as well as optimal comfort reducing the risk of any injuries. The Shoes have been finished with a traditional lacing system that locks down the midfoot and reduces in-shoe slippage.

Sawtooth X ACT Outsole

The midsole has been made from Oboz X ACT, a proprietary rubberised EVA that adapts to varying terrain. This unique blend of dual-density, lightweight cushioning system provides you with a high level of energy efficiency and a softer heel-strike landing zone. A high-density EVA heel cup provides optimal support and improves natural cushioning to make you feel supreme comfort on all of your adventures. Oboz has fitted the Sawtooth with an O Fit Insole. This insole has low-density EVA pods that provide cushioning and comfort. Moisture-wicking fabrics have also been used to keep the feet dry and the shoes well-ventilated, reducing the build-up of sweat. Engineered to support the arch and put the foot in a neutral position, this purpose-designed midsole delivers the kind of fit, feel and performance that you need. A nylon shank offers added support between the heel and forefoot to give you that balanced support.

Trail Tread Outsole

It wouldn't be a Sawtooth without the technology to go with it. The Trail Tread outsole of the Sawtooth X Low B-DRY is a favourite for hikers, going the extra mile as always giving you a trio of benefits; shedding mud, offering intense traction and maintaining stability the outsole is exactly what every trekker needs. Oboz's most-tested rubber compound boasts superior slip resistance, enhanced durability and improved elongation and tensile strength. Sidewall lugs grip those off-camber trails when you need that additional edge whilst also conserving weight.
