Katabatic Wind Low Hiking Shoe - Women's

Built for hikers who want to move fast without giving up protection, the Katabatic Wind Low is our pick for high-mileage days and aggressive trail terrain. The dual-density Katabatic midsole with bio-based foam and high-rebound heel insert delivers responsive cushioning underfoot, while the ESS rock plate shields you from sharp debris without killing your stride.

• Dual-density Katabatic midsole pairs bio-based foam with a high-rebound heel insert for energy return on sustained climbs and long descents
• ESS rock plate in the forefoot blocks sharp rocks and roots while keeping enough flex for a fast, natural gait cycle
• Oboz O FIT insole is molded to match this specific shoe's construction — not a generic insert — for a locked-in fit right out of the box
• Trail Tread rubber outsole is Oboz's most tested compound, built for slip resistance on wet roots, slick rock, and the loose dirt you find all over Southern Appalachian trails
• At 10.9 oz with an 8mm drop and 21mm heel stack, it sits firmly in fast-hiker territory — light enough to move, protective enough to push big days
