ObozMen's Katabatic Mid Hiking Boot

I bought these for wear in the Arizona heat this summer when I want more protection than just tennis shoes - for lightweight, general purpose wear around the yard & town, short desert hikes, exploring the desert in my side-by-side, etc. So far I am extremely happy with these. They are very comfortable and so lightweight that they literally feel like you have nothing on your feet! I took these out today for a short desert walk at 80F and it looks like they will breathe better & be cooler than my various other mid-height hikers (including by far my Merrel Moab 2 Vents). I usually wear a size 10.5 or 11 hiker, so I bought these in a 11 and they fit just right. The toe box size feels good to me too, and I didn't experience the tightness there that others have mentioned. I took a gamble buying these with somewhat limited reviews online, but I think I have found my go-to mid-high hikers for use this summer - very pleased!

I'm a size 9.5/10, got the 10s. A little extra room in the toe box but that's how it should be if I'm wearing thicker socks for a hike.I was VERY surprised how lightweight they were but the construction feels extremely solid. The grip and tread pattern are amazing for rocky, lose, sandy, or wooded terrain.Only worn them about 2 miles, but generally new shoes have a break in period and with these they're comfort right out of the box with no discernable hot spots.At 160$ I was hesitant to buy, but they're the same price as my Obos Bridgers and the Solomons but they had better online reviews than the Solomons. I'll still probably pray these with Kiwi for waterproofing but so far I'm a fan.

This is good and comfortable hiking shoes.

Very comfortable. It just like a high top sneaker but with hiking support

I had them for less than a week. Wore them two days in a row on rough terrain and the toe started to separate. I would have given them one star because of this but they were really comfortable.

The boot is lightweight and good for Summer around town. Fit was snug but comfortable, buy your regular size.
