One, the weight of shoes
An outdoor sports expert who extends the concept of shoes as a tool is concerned with the structure, quality, and craftsmanship of the shoes, and whether it is suitable for the harsh environment they will face, because the correctness of this choice will affect the entire outdoors. The smoothness of the activity plan.
Second, the classification concept of hiking shoes
A wide range of shoes are required for outdoor activities. In addition to competitive footwear and technology (such as rock climbing shoes), the classification of shoes for mountain activities is as follows:
1ã€Sports shoes
It is suitable for hiking activities with a flat environment, a day or so, and light weight. Even if it is active in the mountains, the terrain environment has a clear and flat path. Because GOTE-TEX fabrics are used in a wide range of applications, even in hiking shoes, in wet weather, wearers are allowed to keep their feet dry and comfortable in a wet environment.
2, hiking shoes Hiking boots
For pure mountain activities of two days or more, and even the mountainous region below the snow line in the active area, some brands of products can even engage in mountain activities in the snow-line region, and even in bad weather, they perform very well.
3, Trek king heavy hiking shoes
For long-distance mountain activities, the activity environment area must be a combination of steep slopes, multiple gravels, and ice, snow and rock. The activity area was above the snow line and performed very well.
4, heavy climbing shoes Mountaineering
It is mainly used in high-altitude areas with mixed ice, snow, and cliff topography, and the climate conditions are extremely harsh.
The difference between these hiking shoes is mainly in their softness, and the softness is determined by the material and structure of the upper, the midsole and the sole, the frame support. Due to the existence of these factors, all kinds of hiking shoes will have different performance in performance. Even if the same type of climbing shoes, there will be differences due to different costs and design concepts.
Third, the structure of shoes
The structure of the shoes is to provide users with better climbing technical support. The structure of a pair of professional hiking shoes is as follows:
Big bottom structure: It is mainly composed of big bottom rubber material and woven carbon board, so that it is sensitive and accurate when climbing, and the hardness of the sole is ensured at the same time.
Midsole structure: It is composed of one-piece support or integral nylon pre-formed inner cushion micro-hole shock absorbing and cushioning material, which further strengthens the firmness of shoes and ensures the rigidity of torsion.
Insole structure: is a kind of soft and comfortable for the foot, the last layer of the bottom structure, a good insole will provide more protection for the arch and heel.
Ankle structure: This is a kind of design that provides support and protection for the ankle. In the design of the ankle protection structure, the protection structure is designed based on different rules for the shape of the ankle. Therefore, the outer structure of professional hiking shoes is mostly high waist, and the general waist is 5--7.5 inches high.
Shoe tongue structure: The design of the inner tongue of the tongue should be high. To be thick, it should be close to the foot surface. Shoe tongue should not move easily, not bad. Stable and comfortable, and the tongue opening is large enough to wear freely. At the same time, the tongue should be manufactured using an overall folding process.
Lace structure: Lace structure style, there are two kinds of traditional symmetrical structure and asymmetric structure, the former pays attention to solid appearance, the latter pay more attention to lace and toe angle.
Upper shoe shape: The comfortable, soft and sturdy upper design will provide light weight and wear resistance and conform to the foot shape. The forefoot space is reasonable and the heel is firm and secure. In the manufacturing process, the overall material is used as much as possible to improve the design advantages. At the same time, the treatment of the shoe seam must be based on the pressure of the shoe, so as to ensure that the upper is not deformed under pressure.
Big bottom grain road: The design of the large soles of professional hiking shoes is very particular. Like the F1 Formula tires, they use different tyres in different climatic conditions. Because of the different types of professional hiking shoes, the design of the big textured road is very different. Of course, there is another situation, that is, even if the same type of hiking shoes, because of different design concepts, different construction costs, the texture of the big bottom will be affected, that is, when the cost is low, as long as the anti-skid on the line, Taidi Road It will not be elaborate. But as long as it is a professional big textured road design must be like this:
1) The front and rear edge lines of front and rear soles are designed to more firmly grip the ground and rock face.
2) After the main function of the lines is to play a brake and effectively promote walking
3) The left and right lines are used to prevent skidding
4) The middle part of the big bottom and the front heel line are the steering balance braking area
5) Big groove road guide trough, effectively drain rain, snow, moisture and sediment out of the bottom, further improving the anti-skid, shock absorbing and cushioning effect of the big bottom.
Fourth, shoe materials
The selection of professional hiking shoes outsole, especially the professional brand manufacturers, the vast majority of selected Italian Vibram outsole, because Vibram in addition to providing professional materials, but also provide a professional design of the big groove. Since every year Vibram has new materials developed and applied, Vibram has always been a high-performance, high-skilled, high-comfortable noun. Therefore, Vibram enjoys a high reputation and credibility in the outdoor industry.
In the upper material, pure leather is most favored by mountaineers. This is because pure leather has enough strength and is not afraid of rock friction. The material processing technology makes the shoes have enough hardness even if it is hard to kick. The object will not hurt the toes.
The development of materials is changing with each passing day. Modern mountaineering shoes are manufactured using new composite materials, which is nothing new.
Fifth, waterproof
The GOER-TEX fabrics now used to reinforce the waterproofness of shoes have long been loved and accepted by mountaineers. Each pair of professional hiking shoes made with GOER-TEX fabrics will undergo rigorous testing.
But GOER-TEX is not a panacea, so anything will have its limitations. If water enters the shoe from the mouth of the shoe, its waterproof function will have no effect. And will not squeeze out the water with the movement of the footsteps. In addition, the use of GOER-TEX material will also increase the cost of hiking shoes. To reduce costs must sacrifice the design of other specialties while simplifying the process.
Sixth, the characteristics of professional hiking shoes
1, high waist, 5--7.5 inches, walking on complex terrain, play a protective role to support the ankle.
2, Italy Vibram outsole, conducive to walking in a slippery environment and bad terrain.
3, the middle structure of the shoes needs to be quite sturdy and has an excellent shock absorbing and cushioning structure.
4, less joints, try to use the entire block of material to manufacture the upper structure.
5, thick tongue design, close to the feet, with the upper fold connection, opening is large enough to wear off.
6. U-shaped edge seals for uppers and soles to strengthen the structure and waterproof function.
7, the toe, heel reinforced material protection, and the tip of the shoe to protect the foot. Heel slightly drums to enhance the stability of the shoes. When lowering steep slopes and installing crampons, reduce the pressure on the feet.
8, the advantages and disadvantages of half leather shoes and full leather shoes:
1) Weight reduction
2) Comfortable, shortened break-in period
3) Easy to dry after cleaning
4) Cheap
5) In difficult terrain, it will appear less stable than full leather shoes. Bad high altitude environment does not apply.
6) The half leather shoes without waterproof structure have poor waterproof performance. However, the moisture in the shoes can be squeezed out when walking.
7) The service life is shorter than full leather shoes
8) The weight and hardness are insufficient to cope with the impact of a hard object and cannot effectively meet the weight of the crampons.
