Defective Mesh, katabatic
I've worn these walking/hiking for 3 weeks. Tiny rips started forming in the mesh. After another week these have doubled in size and are fraying, I've never seen a shoe's mesh deteriorate this fast. This is Not a 160.00+ purchase I am comfortable with.

Oboz
Shoes are great. In my opinion , your customer service member who responded to my question was rude.
I would purchase shoes again, but will avoid asking questions that need a response

Style not for me
Shoes were just too big and overbuilt. When I returned them I wasn't credited for the full amount of my purchase either. No explanation given so I will have to spend time clawing back money from Oboz Footwear.

Very stable in the heel
Very stable in the heel and well-cushioned bottoms. Similar to many folks, I have troubled ankles and knees and need more stability with good cushioning combined than my brooks runners offer. Purchased as a summer alternative to my Sawtooth II, which are fantastic, but a bit too warm for summers, especially with a bit of neuropathy. I normally need the wide size so I am working to stretch these. I hope Oboz comes with a a wide size soon and I will buy a few more.

Didn't fit
Love Oboz! Had to return this pair because way too big. I wear 10,5 Oboz consistently, these fit like 11.5 +
Return process was painless.

Poop quality insoles.
Just okay. I returned them mainly due to the poor arch support insoles. Some Oboz have the good insoles and these do not.

Excellent Backpacking Shoe!
Super comfortable (like walking on cushions) and lightweight shoe. I just returned from a 50-60 mile backpacking trip in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The Katabatic low performed above expectations. Through mud, stream crossings, rock and any other surface, the Katabatic held up. I never had any issues with traction or comfort. These durable shoes are now my go-to backpacking shoes.
