John Connely, the co-founder of the OBOZ company, opened his first shop in his hometown, in Virginia in 1971. However, 30 years later he had to move to Bozeman. It’s a small town in southern Montana, in the Rocky Mountains. This relocation has changed his life.
The name of the brand came from two words “Outside” and “Bozeman”. John was keen on hiking, angling, and climbing. So, his aim was to design the footwear that he himself would want to wear. And the first pair of Oboz hiking boots were sold in 2008.
The brand has conquered European and Asian markets within the last 10 years. Nowadays, you can buy Oboz shoes in more than 1500 stores around the world.
What’s more, Oboz takes care of our planet. The company plants a tree for every pair of shoes which was bought. So, keep in mind that by buying Oboz hiking shoes you do not only get the most comfortable footwear but also support the green practices.
