The Oboz Cottonwood collection is the earth-friendliest so far, and the Cottonwood Low B-DRY Hiking Shoe is a premier inclusion. In addition to Oboz's reliable hiking tech, this shoe features loads of responsibly sourced materials to reduce environmental impact and keep us prepped to explore the lands we love. LWG-certified nubuck uppers are made with the ISA LITE concept, reducing water, energy, and chemical usage during the production process. Synthetic components are made from recycled and bio-based materials, from the durable mesh to the high-traction rubber soles.
