Oboz Women’s Juniper 6″ Insulated BDry Boot – Waterproof & Breathable

Last Modified: 04/18/2025

Oboz Women’s Juniper 6″ Insulated BDry Boot is a new winter hiking boot on the market, waterproof and breathable, and with 200 grams of synthetic insulation.

Key features

  • Insulated.
  • Waterproof & breathable.
  • Durable.
  • Good traction.

What type of boots is this – who are they for

Obviously, those are boots for women as the name suggests. With 6 inches (15 cm) of height, they are in the category of mid boots, though on Amazon they use the word shoes as you see from the Amazon picture above. The insulation and the waterproof membrane make them suitable for all winter conditions.

The boots are not so bulky and they are lightweight, so they are quite suitable for casual use, but they are surely great for winter hiking. The collar is clearly high enough to keep the feet safe, but still low enough for all-around use.

Why Oboz and what is Oboz? If you are not familiar with the Oboz brand, it is best to check my separate post.


Materials & construction

The insulation

The Juniper 6″ boots are with 200 grams of insulation and they use the 3M Thinsulate synthetic material here, its basic structure is presented in the picture below.

But you also have a collar with insulation on the top, see the picture, plus a bit of wool on the insole (see more below). The rubber bottom and the midsole add some extra insulation from the ground.

The membrane and upper

You have Oboz’s proprietary B-DRY waterproof bootie which is a polyurethane film inside of the boot. With all seams sealed this should keep your feet dry. On the other hand, the upper material is hydrophobic, and this is mostly a suede leather. So you have a fully watertight construction to keep your feet dry from outside.

The inner textile lining wicks sweat away, and the membrane and the upper are breathable. So this should keep the foot dry from inside as well. As already mentioned, the 6 inches cuffs are for a great support and protection.

The outsole & midsole

A curious detail on the bottom is the map of Swiftcurrent Mountain (Glacier National Park) that is molded there under the lugs. Apart from this, the outsole provides a really good traction on a wide variety of surfaces. This is a particular winterized rubber for the best grip at low temperatures.

The boot is with a molded heel kick that should work well with snowshoes or some traction tools. You also have a gaiter D-ring on the front (see the picture above) which you will use with gaiters in a deep snow.

But from outside you cannot see what really you have here, so the picture below shows you all the pieces which make this boot so comfortable. You have:

  1. The dual-density EVA foam midsole which provides a supportive and balanced cushioning (the top layer).
  2. The 1 mm EVA Super Skin (ESS) plate which mitigates over-reflexion and protects the forefoot (the dark red piece in the middle on the right).
  3. TPU chassis that adds protection and torsional stability underfoot (the light red piece in the middle on the left).

On actual boots, these colors are different, dependent on the color of the boot.

The insole

This is a layer on the top of the insole structure shown above. So here you have what they call the O FIT insole which includes the following:

  1. The base layer against heat loss.
  2. Low-density EVA pod for cushioning.
  3. High-density EVA arch which places the foot in a neutral position.
  4. Insulating wool top for extra warmth and cushioning.
  5. High-density EVA deep heel cup.

Note that they build the boot in full and half sizes, and currently there are three color options available on Amazon. Please see more in this video by the brand:

Final thoughts & rating

In the summary of this Oboz Women’s Juniper 6″ Insulated BDry Boot review I can only stress again that these are quality boots, built for women and tested by women. With 200 gram 3M Thinsulate synthetic insulation these boots are not for extreme conditions but they are indeed warm and comfortable. This is a stylish design that makes them suitable for a city use.

Please see how I rate them for several parameters used for such items here in the site:

      Hi Janette, yes they can be used with the so-called strap-on crampons and any other simpler traction tool. See a bit more in this text. Let me know if you need more information about this.
