ObozWomen's Ousel Mid B-DRY Waterproof Hiking Boot

I bought the port color which is very pretty. But I'm returning this pair and keeping the Katabatic mids that I got from REI. For my foot, the Ousel has the same too-tapered toe box as the Sawtooth. I have a very narrow heel and that's why I rely on Oboz but the ball of my foot is average and that is a problem for some models. I don't need chafing on my pinky toes! The Katabatic toe box is a little more generous. Also, the Katabatic's tread looks to be a little better and the sole is wider under the heel. Seems that the Ousel is meant to be used in urban environments as much as on the trail.

From the moment I put them on they are so comfortable and great for hiking in wet woodland areas. Love the look and sturdiness! Will buy again when I wear these out.

These are a great color! They were too small. Wish they had better arch support.
