Too many times compromises are made to make a hiking shoe light and fast—not the Oboz Katabatic Mid Waterproof. It has the hallmarks of a light and fast shoe with all the features of a true hiker: support, stability, protection, and performance. The highly breathable waterproof Katabatic Mid is engineered to move fast on the trail and built for wet weather.
