The Cottonwood Collection is one of the most sustainable, versatile, and durable shoes that Oboz has launched to date. These shoes are built with environmentally preferred materials (EPM).
Gear and food are important factors when planning a trip. For a celebration, consider a few of these extra gear items to spruce up the festivities. There are many minimalist and environmentally friendly items you can bring along to surprise the individual or group.
We sat down with Parker, an Oboz Training and Education Guru to breakdown the differences between a mid and low height hiking shoe. For any trekking adventure you'll need the perfect footwear to go along with you. We'll also break down the advantages of a waterproof hiking shoe.
While I used to get nervous about solo hiking, below are some steps I took to build up the confidence to go solo hiking abroad.
‘Tis the season to get your layers on and embrace winter hiking!Here’s how to get prepared and enjoy winter hiking at its finest.
It’s November, but it's still camping season in a lot of places! That means trails to hike, vistas to chase, and sleeping bags to pack. What goes into planning an overnight backpacking trip of your own? There are plenty of items to consider, but don't let those stop you from enjoying the great outdoors.
Did you know that an old insole can change the fit of a shoe as much as a 1/2 size, which can lead to joint and muscle pain? This leads us to the age-old question: when was the last time that you changed out your insoles? Or even removed the insoles at all?
We reached out to our Oboz Ambassadors to hear all about the adventures that they loved, so far this year. From the peaks of Glacier to the Everglades of Florida, they've been all across the country (and world!) making the most of hiking season. Hopefully their trail tales provide some inspiration for your next trek. Read on to hear all about their trips.
While I have hiked portions of the trail, I had no idea the unique and heartwarming history of how the TRT came to be. I spent hours in the files of the Tahoe Rim Trail Association’s offices at Stateline, Nevada. What I pieced together is not only a charming history, but a model for modern outdoor trail management. At least that was what I wrote in my paper.
