Key benefits

  • Completely waterproof & breathable.
  • 200 grams insulating layer.
  • Durable all-leather construction.
  • All temperature traction rubber sole.
  • 7 inches high collar for support and protection.

Description

The seven in the name describes the fact that these boots are with a 7 inches (18 cm) high collar, so you can be safe if the snow is not too high. Otherwise, you will use gaiters, and for this purpose, you have a D-ring in the beginning of the lacing system, where the gaiter can be fixed.

These boots are designed for hiking in winter conditions, and for snow activities. They are waterproof, breathable, and insulated. See more below about their structure.

The upper   

Te main body of these boots is the water-resistant nubuck leather, durable and great for support and stability. There are durable molded rubber elements on the toe section and on the heel, which provide a lot of extra protection where it is needed.

The rubber kick on the heel (see below) will be used for snowshoes straps, or some other equipment for traction (but this is not meant for standard step-in or hybrid crampons), or just to take the boots off.

The 7 eyelets are metal (4) and webbing (3), and the latter are in the area where the boot is subject to more bending. The top of the collar is with a very pleasant padding as you can see in the picture below.

Waterproofing & breathability

Here you have Oboz BDry waterproof and breathable membrane, which is a tape-sealed polyurethane bootie that covers the whole internal surface. The leather itself is made water-repellent.

Insulation

This is yet another important feature you have in these boots, which implies several things. First, you have 200 grams 3M Thinsulate synthetic fibers. Second, the insole is wool topped and with a reflective surface on the underside. This is what they call BFit Thermal insoles that insulate the bottom of your feet. Third, the whole sole construction is made rather thick, which insulates you better from the ground.

Oboz Bridger 7 Insulated boots provide great traction regardless of the temperature. This is achieved by its Granite Peak outsoles with deep, directional lugs, and by using the special winterized ICE TECH rubber infused with silica which improves grip on icy surfaces.

The structure which you have here is from regular hiking boots but incorporated into a winter tool. This is a great combination and you will realize it the first time you use them outdoor. Its structure, shown in the picture below, includes:

  • Dual EVA foam layer which is there to provide cushioning, support, and insulation.
  • Thermoplastic urethane (TPU) chassis/nylon shank for support, torsional stability, and protection from sharp objects. This is the yellow section in the middle, see the picture above (blue in the picture below).
  • ICE TECH rubber outsole for an excellent grip.
