Is the Oboz Sawtooth X Low waterproof?

No. The shoe has no Gore-Tex membrane and is not waterproof, so it is best for dry trails. Wet grass or rain will soak through the nubuck and mesh upper.

How does the Sawtooth X Low compare with the original Sawtooth?

The X version keeps the resolable sole and grippy heel cup but updates the upper with recycled polyester mesh. Fit and support are similar, so the choice comes down to price and color.

Does it have arch support?

The shoe has a gripping heel cup and moderate stock support. Oboz lists high arch support only when Superfeet insoles are added, so high-arched hikers should plan on that upgrade.

What is the weight and heel height?

Each shoe weighs about 13.6 oz and the heel is 8 mm high. That is midweight for a low-cut hiking shoe, sturdier than a trail runner.

Can the sole be replaced?

Yes. The Sawtooth X Low is resolable, so a worn outsole can be replaced instead of buying a new pair.

When is the best time to buy it?

The price has moved between $70.00 on November 4, 2026 and $82.50 on November 7, 2026. The $70.00 low shows it can drop below the current $82.50, so waiting for a sale is reasonable.
