"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Cottonwood Mid BDry is the boot I recommend when someone wants to feel good about what they're buying without giving anything up on trail. The B-DRY membrane handles wet weather reliably, the O FIT insole has real support built in, and the TPU shank keeps your foot stable on rocky ground. The sustainability story here is genuine: LWG-certified leather, recycled polyester throughout, bio-based EVA in the midsole and footbed, and a Trail Tread ECO sole made with reground rubber.""Getting outside is always worth it. Getting outside in boots built with that same conviction makes it better. The Oboz Cottonwood Mid BDry Hiking Boot is made for hikers who care where their gear comes from and still expect it to perform when the trail gets wet and rocky. The LWG Gold-certified nubuck leather is sourced with reduced environmental impact, and every piece of mesh, lining, webbing, and lace is made from recycled polyester. The B-DRY membrane seals out moisture without trapping heat, and the ACTEco midsole uses bio-based EVA derived partly from sugarcane to cushion your step. A TPU shank holds the platform stable on uneven ground, the O FIT insole supports your arch across the miles, and the Trail Tread ECO sole is crafted with reground rubber to cut petroleum out of the production process. The whole boot adds up to something you can wear hard on trail and feel good about when you get home."
