Decent shoe - Worst Delivery System

1 month ago

I have no complaints about the shoes. They are lightweight and cushiony, although a little snug. The deliveries from REI, however, are awful. The last three purchases were dumped at the top of my driveway rather than on the front porch, where FedEx, UPS, Amazon and USPS always put their packages. I even put a large-print note in my driveway asking the REI delivery person to drop the package on the porch. It didn't matter. They just dropped the package right next to my note. C'mon REI, stop relying on irresponsible, budget delivery services. I expect better

30 Second Break-In Period

1 month ago

My feet run a smidgen wide, and when I first put them on I thought, pretty good. Well, 30 seconds later I felt like I was wearing my favorite tennis shoes. Honestly, I bought these mainly to garden, because I needed the traction, the flexibility, the low weight, the Gore-Tex, and the firm sole to push on the shovel. After 2 hours of serious landscaping, I can honestly say these are great shoes and would be great hiking shoes. In the future I might get another pair and add them to my arsenal of hiking shoes. They are true to fit, and the tongue is anchored so it does not slip. The traction on wet slippery slopes is excellent and the laces stay put. These are my second pair of Oboz, and I'm loving them.

They changed the toe box

4 months ago

I knew this was an updated "LT" version of the Katabatic but never expected the toe box to be so dramatically changed. It went from nice and room to very narrow. I won't buy them again.

Thank You Oboz Katabatic

2 weeks ago

I purchased this shoe for travel where I am concerned about getting wet fee. I only take one pair of shoes. I have worn Oboz in the past and found them comfortable on my size 11 feet. I wore this shoe for two weeks of travel in the Pacific Northwest, first for three days of hiking on Mount Rainier and then for a week of hiking on the Oregon Coast. The biggest test was three inches of falling wet snow on Mount Rainier. My feet stayed dry. Mostly, the travels were dry, and I was pleased that my feet never got hot, even with the waterproofing fabric. I am very pleased with the Katabatic model and will buy it again.

Oboz Men's Katabatic LT Low GORE-TEX Hiking Shoes

1 month ago

It’s been a long time since I’ve had my mind blown by a shoe! These are absolutely amazing! Got them for trail running in wet but warm/hot weather. They turn out to have breathability equal to some of my other warm weather non-waterproof shows. Wow! Very lightweight but extremely well-constructed. No leakage in wet conditions. These transfer energy to your feet and make running really fun! One of the best pairs of trail shoes I’ve ever purchased!

Sooo comfortable

2 months ago

These shoes put spring into my step! I really like how comfortable they are. I wish more colors were available in Wides. I tried on the regular 12s and they were so narrow I couldn't get my foot into them. These also run a little long. I bought 12W but I wish I had tried on an 11.5W first. That said, they make my feet happy and keep them dry. Really nice trail shoes!

Very Comfortable

1 month ago

Most comfortable shoe I’ve owned. Good support and cushion. I like the gore tex feature since I will use these for travel. I had to go with a wide. The regular width was too tight for me. I also had to change the shoe laces since the ones that came with the shoes would not stay tied. I got the black and would like to see more color options in grays and earth tones.

Quality, Comfort, and Durability

1 month ago

Very satisfied with these shoes for their comfort and quality. I ended up needing an half size smaller than I normally wear in US brands. In a day where most shoes only have millimeters of tread, this is one of the few that still provide enough to have these shoes last more than a few months.
