Oboz Footwear Whakata Trail Hiking Sandals

The Whakatā Trail is like a convertible for your feet.

The Whakatā Trail is destined to be your favorite adventure companion. Its adjustable strap locks in the heel for full foot control, or flips forward converting it to an easy on-and-off slide. Whether it’s a trip to the local swimming hole or relaxing around camp or the backyard, the Whakatā Trail is ready—heel locked or not.

Whakatā, pronounced fah-cah-TAAH, is Māori for “to catch breath, rest, have a break”. 

Oboz consulted and got approval from the Māori language and culture guide at Oboz’s New Zealand-based parent company, KMD Brands, for use of the name. Oboz intends to honor the Māori culture in the best way—both within KMD Brands’ company walls and in the broader community.
