Men’s Waterproof GTX Backpacking Boots – Oboz Bridger Ridge Mid

The Bridger Ridge Hiking Boot is built for adventurers who refuse to let harsh conditions limit their exploration. Engineered as our first-ever GORE-TEX®-equipped model, this rugged footwear ensures your feet stay dry through rain-soaked paths or creek crossings while maintaining breathability so you don’t overheat during steep ascents. Designed with stability at its core, an anatomically contoured heel cradles your foot securely against slips on loose gravel or rocky slopes—paired seamlessly with a sculpted midfoot structure that prevents fatigue during multi-hour treks across uneven terrain.

For those seeking a balanced fit without compromise, these boots feature standard widths (C in the heel/D in the forefoot) tailored to medium-volume feet—perfect whether you have high arches or low insteps—and allow enough toe space to move naturally without feeling cramped. Crafted from eco-conscious LWG Gold Standard nubuck leather combined with reinforced TPU heels and rubber toe caps, they blend premium durability into every step while standing up to abrasion from rough trails or sharp rocks.

At 25 oz (709g), they strike an ideal weight-to-support ratio—light enough not to weigh you down yet sturdy enough for demanding environments—and an 8mm heel drop encourages smooth transitions between strides while maintaining cushioned comfort over varied landscapes. Whether you’re tackling alpine peaks or soggy forest trails under unpredictable skies, the Bridger Ridge Boot delivers unmatched reliability backed by thoughtful design details that prioritize both performance and all-day wearability.
