Great review for the OBoZ Ignition!

AAO Filed Under:
We got an excellent review on the Ignition in the Outside Magazine Gear Guide that hit the stands yesterday.
Check it our on pages 99-101. It says they had 20 testers running in 25 new models of shoes near Boulder. Out of the 25, 7 made the cut. We got what may be the best overall review out of the other 6 shoes (Brooks Adrenaline ASR5, Adidas Supernova Riot, Merrell CP Paragon, Vasque Velocity XCR, and New Balance 840).

Here's what they said:

"For a debut shoe from a brand-new company, the Ignition gets enthusiastic Rookie of the Year props. It handled technical, rocky trails with aplomb, but unlike many other burley mountain-running shoes, it also felt remarkably light and nimble. Large, well-spaced lugs on the outsole clung to both boulder fields and loose scree, and the upper-a stretchy mesh bootie wrapped in minimalist synthetic overlays - secured the mid and forefoot remarkably well. The upper is thin on padding, so some testers felt the need to compensate with a thicker sock. 12.3 oz."

This is our first major review in a major consumer magazine - Good work Boo!!!
