Precision Engineering
Regular and Wide + O FIT
A last that comes in wide and an insole that is not a $8 afterthought. The reason wide-foot hikers stay in Oboz.
B-Dry, Not Gore-Tex
House membrane. Works. Does not get you a Gore warranty. Leather still soaks and dries slow.
Granite Peak Outsole
4 mm directional lugs and a nylon shank. Protective, not nimble. Built for miles, not FKT attempts.
