A Better Kind Of Fast.
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.
