A Better Kind Of Fast.
Following the latest speed trends can be a straight path to compromise. Especially when fit, durability, comfort, and stability are sacrificed to save a few ounces. But there's a smarter way, and it involves substance.
The Oboz Katabatic Collection is built on thousands of miles of underfoot insights: truths we engineer into transformative hiking footwear that breaks away from the pack. The result?
Better foot health. Better adventures. And a better kind of fast + light experience. The kind that sacrifices nothing, so you can give it your everything.
These styles adapt to various terrain, allow for the natural biomechanics of the foot, and return energy for 'wind' at your back.
