EVERY JOURNEY HAS A BEGINNING, A MIDDLE, AND AN X. FIND YOUR X.
![Oboz Sawtooth X Transparent Logo](https://obozfootwear-prod.zaneray.com/cms/images/b8db1e01-d0c4-4b12-9148-f9963ede7d55_STX-nav-drop-down-logo.png?auto=false)
More than a destination, X marks the catalyst that ignites imaginations and spurs feet into action. Whatever the steep climbs, technical descents, mud, dust, wind, rain or mind-melting vistas in the foreground,
X also signifies the moments of truth. Goals crushed. Terrain charged. Adventures stacked up and celebrated. And for us, a reason to reset the expectation. Since its inception, Sawtooth has elevated the performance standard from beginning, middle to whatever’s next.
The fact that it’s the most tested, trail-perfected shoe in our history is a testament to the hustle. One where we don’t rest until you find your X.

Why change a legend?
Because making better footwear, and making our own footwear even better, is what we do.

How has it changed?
Through extensive research and design, we addressed four key components to:
- Improve performance
- Increase durability
- Refine the fit
- Modernize the look
“ These shoes prove that 'only mid boots provide ankle support' is a MYTH! ...I’ve tested them out on rocky, steep, muddy, and even snowy trails so far. ”
