Oboz Katabatic LT Mid GTX

This zippy boot may have won over even our most stubborn non-boot wearers. A lighter weight version of Oboz’s popular Katabatic model, the LT version utilizes GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology and a compression molded EVA midsole to deliver truly breathable waterproof performance and an athletic-inspired underfoot feel at a weight well below that of a traditional hiking boot. The soft cuff on the collar keeps the boot from feeling restrictive while still providing better stability than a low-cut trail shoe. A low-profile outsole strikes an excellent balance between weight and durability. Still not sold on a mid-height cut? These are available in low-cut versions too!

Best Use: Backpacking and Hiking

Price: $190
