The new Oboz Bangtail Mid Insulated B-DRY hiking boots allow us to withstand the elements when our favorite trails are covered with snow. Primaloft insulation keeps feet warm while water-repellent nubuck and a waterproof, breathable B-DRY membrane keep them dry , protecting from snow ice and slush. The latest Oboz winter hiking boots also feature a special winter Vibram Arctic Grip outsole with rubber which provides excellent grip on ice and deep 5mm ridges that dig into the snow keeping us on our feet (and off our butts) in slippery winter conditions. .
