Obōz Footwear is an Bozemanite footwear company, founded in 2007. ^[1]

The name stems from the combinat ion of the words "Bozeman" and "outside".

The Oboz crew is made up of a couple of old school tele skiers, a kayaker who can claim first descent down the Ocoee, a former National Outdoor Leadership School instructor that's familiar with going weeks without bathing, and an obsessed climber turned avid biker. This odd bunch managed to connect throughout the decades of being in the outdoor industry and decided to join up in 2007 to start Oboz. ^[undefined]

The phrase "True to the Trail" is the motto at Oboz.

Oboz shoes are designed to be used on the trail to help people get into the wilderness - shoes for trail running, hiking, backpacking, approaching crags, scrambling and general exploration of wild places.

The folks at Oboz are passionate about these activities.

When they aren't talking about shoes at the office, they’re probably discussing the snow conditions up at Bridger Bowl or their latest adventure on their bikes. Looking to protect their favorite getaways, Oboz tries to minimize their carbon footprint and support organizations and causes that improve the state of the environment.
