Speed is your friend with the Katabatic, as is support, stability, protection, and performance. From a bio-mechanically designed outsole to full foot protection, the Katabatic is an on-trail performer first and foremost. Stay comfortable on your all-day hikes with the Oboz fit promise. Oboz shoes give every adventurer a roomy toe box and comfy heel pocket connected by a supportive arch, ensuring you can wear your shoes right out of the box.

We've paired our lightest midsole ever with our most breathable B-DRY waterproof membrane ever, for a shoe with an amazing ride that not only keeps feet comfortable mile after mile, but also dry every step of the way. The EVA midsole provides a smooth ride and good transition while the outsole's multi-directional lug pattern provides exceptional grip and superior acceleration and braking.
