I found Oboz on a different site when looking to replace my husband's Merrell boots.  I'd never heard of the brand but it was a really good deal, so I took a risk.  He has done nothing but rave about them for the past three years.  He has worn them in the Lithuanian  winter and the blazing heat of Ghana in August.  Unless work requires a suit, he is his Oboz boots.  Now, 3 years later, the boots have finally developed a hole and he wants new ones.  Always in search of a bargain, I went to my discount site (where I originally found them) but no Oboz.  I found some great deals on other top brand boots but he won't even consider them.  Amazon to the rescue.  Unfortunately they aren't on sale but given that they lasted 3 years, I think these boots are well worth the price.
