Katabatic RT Low GTX Hiking Shoe – Women's

For day hikers and backpackers who cover serious ground on wet, rooty trails, the Katabatic RT Low GTX is our go-to waterproof low-cut shoe for women. Gore-Tex waterproofing keeps feet dry through creek crossings and Southern downpours, while a grippy rubber outsole handles slick roots and hardpack. The women's-specific fit and cushioning platform hold up across long days without beating you up.

• Gore-Tex waterproof membrane seals out moisture from stream crossings, wet brush, and surprise rain without trapping heat
• Grippy rubber outsole digs into the slick roots, loose gravel, and hardpack typical of Appalachian and Gulf Coast trails
• Women's-specific cushioning platform tuned for all-day comfort on longer day hikes and loaded backpacking days
• Low-cut design gives you ankle mobility on maintained paths and moderate off-trail without the bulk of a full boot
• Available in Berry and Lake Trout colorways, sizes 6–11 — a versatile pick when you need real waterproofing without heavy boot weight
