Spring 2008 Shoe Review
BY Elinor Fish
OBOZ IGNITION
$100, 11.7 oz
http://www.obozfootwear.com/
Last year, a few footwear-industry veterans teamed up to create a new company called Outside Bozeman or "Oboz." Their debut trail runner is the Ignition, which features a bootie construction that can be tight to pull on, but once on your foot, fits like a glove. Its aggressive outsole lugs point forward and back for maximum traction on both rough uphill and downhill trails.
This burly trail runner has a moisture-wicking upper with supportive overlays that snug around the foot when you tighten the laces. A highly abrasion-resistant toe bumper offers the most toe protection and wiggle room of the models reviewed here.
The strong heel counter and dual-density midsole add to its stable ride, making it ideal for long training runs on a variety of trails.
