The Oboz Whakatā Coast is an easy slip-on sandal that balances comfort and recovery. The ample ventilation windows help keep things cool and dry, while its sculpted underfoot surface and injected, dual-density EVA construction allow for comfort and recuperation, so you can get back on the hiking trail feeling refreshed sooner.
Whakatā, pronounced fah-cah-TAAH, is Māori for “to catch breath, rest, have a break”.
Oboz consulted and got approval from the Māori language and culture guide at Oboz’s New Zealand-based parent company, KMD Brands, for use of the name. Oboz intends to honor the Māori culture in the best way—both within KMD Brands’ company walls and in the broader community.
Whakatā Coast is All Gender sizing. Please verify the correct size using our size chart. If in between sizes we recommend sizing down.

the Oboz innersoles to the Whatkata. Read LessRead less about As mentioned in the review immediately
little arch. That should be made clear in the product description on this website but is not mentioned at all. These are basically their version of a Croc. There is nothing wrong with that. They are well made and the sole is good . While I do like them , they do not give my feet the support that they need and that we have come to expect from OBOZ. I wear custom orthotics in all of my shoes. I put a pair of the arch supports that came in the Bridgers into the Whatkata and that has improved the support significantly. You may have to size up to get the arch support to fit. The insert is similar to the Trail Runner insole they sell. Read LessRead less about I have three pairs of OBOZ hiking
The heel drop on the Whakata Coast is 8mm.
Thanks,

The Whakata styles are only offered in standard width. The standard fit is fairly accommodating.
