The Oboz Katabatic LT II Low men's hiking shoe combines a recycled polyester spacer-mesh upper with KINERTIA energy cushioning and a rock plate. This non-waterproof model offers a low-cut option for dry-weather hikes and everyday trail use.
Trail features
The spacer-mesh upper is designed for ventilation, with TPU overlays and a reinforced toe cap for trail protection. This version does not use the GORE-TEX construction found in the LT II GTX models. KINERTIA energy cushioning, an internal rock plate and the Trail Tread HD outsole form the underfoot package.
