Where tired feet finally catch their breath.

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 injected, dual-density EVA construction allows 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.

Reviews

Better than Crocs

"I am real happy with these so far. I carried them on a backpacking trip and they made great camp shoes. They seem to have a gripper sole than Crocs, which are infamous for being slippery."

— Philip K. (5/5)

Daily Pure Joy

"Bought two pair so one stays with family when I visit them."

— HARRIET O. (5/5)

Perfect for house and after hiking

"Wear these around the house. Great support, comfort and quality."

— Julie I. (5/5)

Coastal foot prints

"We live on the coast and there is lots of sand. My shoes are used for indoor shoes. I love the support, ability to wash them & all around comfort!"

— Kay G. (5/5)

Better than Crocs

"I have had 3 pairs and these are my go to house shoes. Better than Crocs IMO"

— Taylor K. (5/5)

Awesome shoe!

"My only issue is that the 9 is a smidge too big, and the 8 a smidge too small, I ordered both, but I love the shoe enough that I'm going to keep both pairs, I'll just wear the 8 during the summer without socks, and the 9 during the winter with socks."

— Cheryl C. (5/5)
