Oboz Women's Firebrand II Low B-Dry Hiking Shoe

I wear a 7 1/2 N in a regular shoe medium cotton sock and had perfect fit. I have worn these daily (2+ hours) and really liked them. This summer, with the wet grass on trails and rain, I left them in sun to dry several times and maybe the heat made my feet swell a little bit-- so now in August they are uncomfortable--so I recommend ordering 1/2 size larger so toes do not feel cramped. I now need to wear thin socks. Hope this helps others in their purchase. My shoes have held up great. Red bugs can penetrate the tiny ventilation holes in the sides. The shoes are very well made.Update 11/27/2023 I have worn these about 4-5 hours daily, walk about 2 miles in the woods. The rubber part of the bottom is now peeling off. I am not willing to invest $140-160.00 a pair for future purpose. I expected them to last up to 2 years or longer.

Very comfortable, a really good looking shoe, sturdy, would definitely recommend.

fits snug to foot (i have flat feet and these are extremely supportive). great traction. wear these every where i go.

I like the shoes. They are well-made and sturdy with a good sole. The arch support provided is OK, but thrusts my foot forward, and the sloshy heels are the reason that I won't be taking on the Camino de Santiago as was initially intended, as I'm certain they will cause blisters. They are good for short hikes, or walking in town.

Unless you know exactly what size you need, DO NOT ORDER from this company! I was super excited to order this shoe, but when it arrived the fit was a little too large. I was hoping to return and exchange them for a different pair BUT the company charges a RETURN FEE and NO EXCHANGES. It is hard to know exactly what size you need and I find it really disappointing that this company charges you for returning items. It is very misleading that they advertise free shipping and returns when it will cost you to return an item if you are not a Prime member.As for the shoe....it is beefy and well made. I do a ton of hiking in some thick back country and this shoe definitely would have got the job done. A very solid shoe but a bit heavy and not ventilated as much as I would like. It also ran a little big...too big to keep. I would say it is totally worth a try because it is so well made BUT ORDER FROM A DIFFERENT COMPANY THAT WILL LET YOU FIND YOUR PERFECT SIZE!

I don’t quite get why but for gardening as you see in this picture on the third Weir, my feet go numb and these are just killing the souls of my feet! They fit well, they’re made well, they look good… The souls are incredibly hard and stout, as are the toe tips and they’re even lightweights spite all that. But something about the downward sloping of the soul inside going towards the ball of the foot is making me have to stop every half hour and bring my feet back to life :( Hoping they are better for hiking…

I bought theseShoes for multii day backpacking. First of all I love the rugged look of them. In addition they are very light and fit true to their size I wear a seven and a seven fits perfect I would wear thin socks with them I like the fit. There is no way to get a blister on your heel. There seems to be adequate space in the toebox and the arch is adequate. I do feel like the shoe is a little stiff. In addition, I developed a tender spot on my instep. I would certainly recommend these shoes for backpacking and hiking

Excellent shoe for hiking and rough terrainThis is my second pairVery comfortable and the fit is true to size. I wear a size 8.5 and this 8.5 was a perfect fit

All good no issues
