About OBOZ

“Outside” + “Bozeman” = Oboz. Right outside our front door in Bozeman, Montana, the mountains beckon us. It's this 18-million-acre, greater Yellowstone ecosystem laboratory where we test our designs and soak it all in. It even inspired the name “Oboz”.

At Oboz, we are hikers, we are walkers, we are runners, we are bikers, we are anglers…we are many things, and yet we’re all connected by the trail. It's this lifelong love of the trail that enables our designers to create footwear that's remarkably durable, comfortable, and always worthy of the task at hand. Our philosophy is simple. Design the kind of footwear that we'd want to wear.

True to the Trail. 

That’s the compass heading that guides everything we do. From building great-fitting footwear to how we give back to our community and the way we treat each other and our planet. It’s a mindset that grounds us in what’s important: doing things the right way, having fun, and exploring our path in life. Because any other way just wouldn’t be true to the trail.

We Plant a Tree for every pair of Oboz sold

Since our very first pair sold back in 2007, we’ve had a tree planted — that’s well over 4 million trees and counting.

We work with Trees for the Future to plant these trees utilizing their Forest Garden approach.

What is a Forest Garden?

Forest Gardens consist of thousands of trees that provide families with food sources, livestock feed, products to sell and, on average, a 400% increase in their annual income over four years. The specific Forest Garden project we have supported since 2020 focuses on the Tabora region of Tanzania. So, when you buy a pair of Oboz footwear, know that the tree you plant is going to a specific place.

The Oboz fit

With unmatched trail performance at our core, we offer the fit, comfort and versatility so you can stay focused on where you’re going, not what’s on your feet. Building from the inside out, we use our proprietary O FIT Insole to maximize stability with a medium arch and deep heel cup, the latest in performance and sustainable technologies, and specific midsole and outsole packages to deliver the traction, flexibility, cushioning and support you need. We also know the difference between good and great-fitting footwear is the human touch. That's why it takes 140 talented people to make each pair we sell.
