When you’re fast hiking, the last thing you want to question is the fit, durability, comfort, or stability of your lightweight footwear. Giving all that just a second of thought wastes the precious time you’re outside in nature. Thankfully, the Oboz Katabatic Collection exists.

The Katabatic Collections adapts to various hikes, allows for your foot to be in its natural state, and returns energy to propel you along—call it “a wind at your back.” These styles were built utilizing thousands of miles of underfoot insights. The result? Better adventures out in nature, and a better kind of fast and light experience.

The Katabatic has quickly become one of our most popular hikers and the new Katabatic LT takes the collection to a new level in a lighter package with improved performance and additional Oboz Preferred Materials. Waterproof styles include GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology providing enhanced breathability and combining true fit, feel, and comfort with the GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY promise. From fast packing to day hiking the Katabatic LT is the shoe of choice.

The carbon superhiker built for moving quickly across a variety of terrain. It's the best of both worlds, with lightweight tech from a trail runner, and the support + durability of a hiker.

Stay protected while fast-hiking rugged terrain, thanks to premium materials like GORE-TEX Invisible Fit, Vibram Megagrip rubber, and durable ballistic mesh.
