Oboz Footwear has planted a tree for every pair of Oboz sold since 2007 as part of their commitment to the enviroment. That’s over 3 million trees and counting!
Oboz UK has organised a ‘Get Rooted’ event in LLanrwst (April 7th, 2020) in Snowdonia Nation Park in conjunction with their charity partner, Small Woods and retail partner S.R Cunninghams.
All Participants will enjoy the following: –

Oboz Footwear
We started Oboz in 2007 in Bozeman, Montana because of our love for the outdoors. We at Oboz (Outside + Bozeman) honor the 18 million acres of vast and breathtaking landscape that comprise the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem surrounding us.
Oboz designs and builds men’s and women’s hiking boots, hiking shoes, insulated footwear, sandals and more from the ground up for wherever the trail takes you. The shoes we don’t sell make a difference, too. We donate our unsellable (but still trail-worthy) shoes, partnering with Project Sole and local non-profits to find feet in need.
We carbon-offset our shoe shipments—and then some. We also carbon-offset all employee travel, commuting (although almost everybody bikes), and the office utility bill with the help of the Bonneville Environmental Foundation.
Our HQ is powered by clean wind energy. 100% of our office juice comes from Wind Farms in Central Idaho and Washington, through the EPA Green Power Partnership.
