Oboz Sapphire Mid BDry review

Who should buy the Oboz Sapphire Mid BDry

Despite these drawbacks, the Oboz Sapphire Mid BDry’s trail performance is still satisfying. It is a solid option if you:

• Prefer a shoe that has a waterproof membrane for protection against wet elements.
• Prefer a shoe that renders comfortable cushioning and traction.
• Prefer a shoe that creates a smooth roll-off motion.

Excellent traction over various terrain types

The Oboz Sapphire Mid BDry employs a tacky rubber outsole. The hiker has aggressive lugs which bite into ground surfaces, whether wet or dry. Its textured finish prevents the build-up of mud and other trail debris, hence maintaining its grip over various terrain types. 

Protective toe area

Its upright extension at the toe area enhances protection against knocks.

Comfortable cushioning

Featuring the Swiftcurrent midsole, this hiking boot carries an EVA midsole. This rubber-like material gives cushioning and comfort to the user. 

Forefoot protection

It is paired with a TPU chassis for support and an ESS plate situated at the forefoot for protection. The brand-owned O Fit Insole holds the foot and optimizes support.

Waterproof

The durable nubuck leather upper of this mid-cut day hiking boot comes with a BDry waterproofing system. It is a membrane that prevents penetration of water during wet encounters while allowing moisture inside to escape.

Amplifies protection on the trails

Flexibility is maintained, thanks to the asymmetrical style of the collar. It allows the boot to move together with the ankle’s motion. A strip of leather covers the midfoot to heel region and the toe. This reinforcement amplifies protection on the trails.

Easy to wear

The closure system of the Sapphire Mid BDry includes webbing loops, metal hooks, and lace. The heel strap aids in easy on and off.
