Montana-based outdoor footwear brand Oboz has updated its Katabatic shoe collection for spring 2025.
One part of this is adding the Invisible Fit laminate technology from Gore-Tex to the shoes. This is the first time Oboz has used breathable, water-resistant technology from Gore in its shoes.
Director of product management and design at Oboz, Dan Wehunt, described Gore-Tex technology as “the gold standard” in breathable moisture protection, and said Invisible Fit was “a huge improvement” in making footwear waterproof.
He added that Oboz had worked closely with the team at Gore to integrate the technology into the Katabatic collection.
Gore presents the benefits of Invisible Fit as technology that uses a PFAS-free membrane and has 70% recycled content. It bonds directly to the upper lining of the shoe providing better fit, feel and comfort than earlier versions of membrane technology.
In addition, the new technology is lighter and dries faster.
For spring 2025, Oboz and Gore have worked together to create mid-height shoes for the Katabatic collection, in addition to the low-shoe designs of earlier versions of the collection.
