Bridger Low B-Dry Hiking Shoe - Men's

Excellent All Around Shoe

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Size Bought:

9.5 Regular

I am a repeat buyer of the Oboz Bridger shoe - This is my third pair. It's my go to shoe for everything short of winter backpacking. Backcountry had a good price and their service has ALWAYS BEEN GREAT.

My First Hiking Shoe

I have worn boots for hiking and outdoor work all my life. I am 73. These are my fist shoe and I am pleased with them. Good fit. Excellent traction. Seems durable in construction. I seem to be walking flat footed as the soiles are very stiff which is a good things for rocky terrain. I will still wear boots in more severe terrain. For local walking on dirt, gravel, and rocks these seem fine. One minor complaint. The back should be higher and the fit in the heel area more secure. I believe these would be easily removed in mud conditions. These are meant for dryland hiking which what we mostly have here in northern New Mexico mountains.

Look To Be Durable

I have used there for short hikes for a week now and am 90% satified with them. They look to be very durable and while stiff were comfortable at first wearing. The only drawback is the soles are very slippery on wet smooth surfaces such as rocks. This is typical for most hiking shoes of this type and is no doubt the price paid for a long wearing sole. Maybe this issue will ease with wear as the sole surface is roughed up a little.

Shoes are green, not gray

The shoes look gray in the photo but they are actually a dark green (moss color). I sent them back. They fit great and felt fine but the color was not what I was looking for to match my work uniform.

FANTASTIC SHOES

I have fallen arches & wear an orthotic insert. I LOVE these shoes. SUPER comfy. All day wear. I walk on avg 12,000 steps/day. I get on avg 1.5 years use, sometimes more. Been buying them since March 2020. I also wear the taller version in winter.

Top Shelf

Outstanding fit and feel. From the first step, comfort and support are evident.

Footloose

Mostly comfortable but uneven inner sole. Be careful in making this purchase.

Great fit and comfort.

Love the shoes. They fit and were comfortable right out of the box. I have already put miles and miles on them, and they still look good.

Wish They Still Made The Women's Version....

but since they don't I have bought the men's. They do run slightly wider than the women's version but they don't make them anymore. I love these shoes, they last for years, the waterproofing doesn't and needs to be redone but that's OK. They bottom grip is great and doesn't wear down. I hope they don't discontinue the men's low version.
