Customer Reviews Oboz Katabatic Low

I love the support and comfort of these Oboz trail shoes.

Im very happy with these shoes. No breaking in required for me. Ive been hiking in the snow with my dog and the traction is good and my feet stay dry. Im looking forward to summer hikes and sure these Oboz will continue to be ideal hiking shoes. Also planning to put many miles on them during a trip to Yosemite next month.

I love how lightweight these are, yet they are still supportive, have good toe protection and excellent grip on the soles. Could use a little more arch support but other than that no complaints.

I like the looks of them & how they fit my arch so well

I like these better than my first pair of Oboz because of the wider toe box. These are quite comfortable.

I love these shoes. Its like they were made especially for me. Light, comfortable and grippy. Also look pretty cool.

THese are great shoes. I wear them everyday around the house. This is my 3rd pair of Oboz. These are not as wide in the front of the shoe as my others are. So my toes do get a little pinched.

I can't speak highly enough about the quality, craftsmanship, comfort, and decadence of putting on my pair of Sypes every day. They are absolutely incredible. Well designed, and the most comfortable daily wear ever.

I bought a pair of Katabatic shoes in September during the Fort Collins Oboz Trail Experience. They are very comfortable and light weight. They have good arch support, which is very important to me. I use them for Trail running. I bought another pair during the 40% off sale in December. Definitely good for running and hiking.

The only thing I don't care for is the color of the laces in the pale blue shoes. Otherwise I love these light weight comfy shoes for summer . .

I've owned Oboz shoes for years. I was a big fan of the Sawtooth Mids and Lows. I have another pair of Katabatic waterproofs but tried the "regular". They fit well, very comfortable and hikable outta the box. I've been hiking for a month in the newer pair I bought and really like them. I've transitioned to lighter hiking shoes and really enjoy these. Fit my foot well, room in the toe box, no heel rub. I typically order a half size up for sock room and foot swell during high heat, long hiking days. I plan to stick with Oboz as long as they keep making quality hikers and bonus that they're a MT company!

Good shoes and very comfortable. Like the look.

This shoe has firm support and grips the terrain so I can walk with confidence. I am 79 and need that assurance as I want to stay active as I age.

So I love Oboz runners I bought a pair 2 years ago and I'm still wearing them. But this design has been a big disappointment. First off they are a narrow fit you dont realize it at first but then your feet start cramping. From day 1 they have been terrible I have taken extra care to keep them clean but they just attract dirt. I've used the gel sneaker cleaners and the Money Worth and Best sneaker cleaner and finally threw them in the wash after putting extra cleaner on the spots. Nothing worked them seem to get dirt trapped under the tiny holes in the material and it never comes out.

This shoe is better than I even thought it would be! I actually ordered a pair of the Cottonwoods(already returned) too because the reviews spoke of Katabatics being too narrow. Ive never had narrow anything in my feet. I was going on a trip and thought I might need them early enough to break them in. (Ive had a pair of Sawtooth s for 6-8 years) NOPE! Did not need breaking in. They fit perfectly. Ive worn them all day everyday except 1. I wore a pair of nice Sketchers, felt AWFUL afterwards. Theyre in the trash. Im 70 years old. I have the beginnings of Parkinsons disease. It is imperative now more than ever for me to have shoes with support and some structure. Im going to buy the black and tan pair too. Theyre wonderful.

Super comfortable and supportive, as I expect from Oboz. But I'm disappointed that the mesh area can't be cleaned- dirt goes through the mesh and deposits on the fabric underneath. I've tried scrubbing, spraying, etc. and nothing works. They look like I've owned them for 10 years instead of one season. I've had lots of hiking shoes and sneakers with mesh and never had this problem.

I work in health care and love these shoes for my 12 hour shifts. The support is above all others I have worn. This company makes footwear with quality and support for the feet above other brands. My feet don't get tired on the trails or halls of the hospital. This is my second pair of oboz and couldn't be happier.

Great pair of shoes they look great and just as functional as they look

Love all my Oboz footwear

They are alright

This is a great shoe for low key hikes. It has a great grip and are pretty light weight. On more difficult hikes, I want ankle support so will use my heavier hiking shoes. Overall these are a great value and easy to throw on for a city walk or a hike.
