Description

The Oboz Katabatic RT Low Waterproof is a women's hiking shoe that is quick where it counts and tough where it matters. Premium materials like GORE-TEX Invisible Fit, Vibram Megagrip rubber, durable ballistic mesh and Kinertia energy cushioning keep you comfortable over rugged terrain without adding weight. GORE-TEX Invisible Fit bonds the waterproof lining directly to the upper for a lighter, more breathable, sneaker-like feel. Oboz builds it for speedy day hikes and moving quickly across varied terrain.

Features
  • GORE-TEX Invisible Fit. Bonds the waterproof lining directly to the upper for a lighter, more breathable, sneaker-like feel, guaranteed waterproof.
  • Vibram Megagrip with Traction Lug. Grips on wet and dry ground; the lug shaping adds surface area for more traction.
  • O FIT Insole by Ortholite. Dual-density open-cell PU: softer X40 Hybrid foam for cushioning and rebound, firmer Originals foam to support the heel and arch.
  • Gaiter channel. A molded channel under the midfoot of the outsole protects your gaiter cord.

  • Length runs true to size, on Oboz's own gender-specific last.
  • Form-hugging heel cup, sculpted midfoot and a generous forefoot and toe box.
  • Width: Standard (B heel, C forefoot).

How to measure: stand on a piece of paper and mark the back of your heel and the tip of your longest toe, then measure the distance in centimeters and match it to the closest CM value in the chart.

Fit notes: Oboz footwear is built with a supportive arch that connects a roomy toe box to a sculpted heel pocket. Styles come in two fit types - Generous, with extra room for toe splay and foot swelling on long hikes, and Athletic, which conforms to the foot for a nimble, precise feel. Nearly every pair includes Oboz's O FIT Insole, shaped to the last and size of the footwear. Fit can feel different style-to-style, so Oboz recommends getting your feet measured often and trying a range of styles.
