Oboz Women's Sawtooth Ascent Low Waterproof

The same capable, well-cushioned Sawtooth Ascent Low platform with Oboz's B-DRY waterproofing added for women who hike in variable weather and wet conditions. All the traction and comfort of the standard low cut version with dry feet guaranteed from the first creek crossing to the last mile.

Highlights

• B-DRY waterproof system — Oboz's proprietary waterproofing that blocks moisture while allowing sweat to escape. The updated lining improves both waterproofness and breathability over previous versions and is made from 100% recycled materials with 25% post-industrial content.
• Vibram XS-TREK EVO outsole — A versatile technical rubber compound designed for multisport use across a wide range of surfaces and conditions. Consistent traction on wet rock, dirt, and mixed terrain without being so aggressive it slows you down on hardpack.
• Kinertia cushioning midsole — Oboz's proprietary compression-molded EVA engineered for adaptive cushioning across varying terrain. All-day wearability without the dead, compressed feel that standard EVA develops over a long day on trail.
• O FIT Insole with triple-density EVA — A three-density insole system with cushioned heel and forefoot pods, a firm molded shell, deep heel cup, and medium to high arch support. Designed for proper alignment, stability, and blister prevention on extended wear.
• 8mm heel drop at 13.7 ounces — A moderate drop that suits a natural heel strike on varied terrain. Just 0.7 ounces heavier than the non-waterproof version, a negligible weight penalty for all-condition dry foot performance.
• Women's specific last with form-fitting heel cup — Gender-specific last with a sculpted midfoot, generous forefoot and toe box, and form-hugging heel cup. B heel and C forefoot width true to size for medium to high volume feet.

Best for

Women day hikers and trekkers who want a waterproof low cut hiking shoe for variable weather and wet trail conditions. A strong all-season choice for anyone who wants dry feet and reliable traction without the weight or ankle restriction of a mid or high cut waterproof boot.
