Why We Like The Oboz Katabatic Wind Low Hiking Shoe
The Oboz Katabatic Wind Low Hiking Shoe is designed to help us go farther and faster with cutting-edge technologies that conserve our energy and allow us to move quickly across varying terrain. These lightweight hiking shoes feature the Inertia Of Motion (IOM) System, which combines ACT Nitro foam and a carbon plate in the forefoot that allow us to cover more ground with every step by efficiently transferring our energy. As we conquer mountains and the miles add up, the O FIT insole cushions our feet and wicks away moisture for all-day comfort.

While these are wider and slightly more comfortable from a footbed perspective than the gen 1.0 Katabatics, I don't dig the color palette that Oboz chose for these. The Hazy Gray is bland and would benefit from greater contrast on the uppers. I also found them too restrictive across the top of the arch of the foot for my tastes, forcing me to return these after trying them on.
