True to the Trail: Oboz

A vision that began ten years ago in Bozeman, Montana now has roots around the world, here is a little bit about the story behind the brand Oboz.

There’s no place like home.

Bozeman, Montana. It’s where it all started. It’s what inspired the name. And it’s what motivates them to lace up daily and explore the 18 million acres of Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem that surrounds. A vast and breathtaking landscape of peaks, valleys and rivers just waiting to be explored on two feet.

Outside + Bozeman = Oboz.

True To The Trail®

It’s the compass heading that guides everything Oboz does. From building great fitting footwear to how they give back to communities and the way they treat each other and our planet. It’s a mindset that grounds them in what’s most important – doing things the right way, having fun, and exploring our path in life. Because any other way, just wouldn’t be true to the trail.

280 hands touch every pair before you do.

The difference between good and great fitting footwear is the human touch. That’s why it takes 140 talented people to make each pair we sell. Sure it’s harder to hand-build footwear this way, but it’s the right way.

For every pair of Oboz sold, a tree is planted, “We love the outdoors. And the way we figure, the more trees, the more outdoors for us all to enjoy. It’s about as simple as that.” – Oboz Team.
