About hiking shoes

【Travel】We can see people wearing a variety of shoes. There are sandals, cloth shoes, slippers, sneakers, and big men in suits and ties. For those sisters and aunts who have conquered Huashan Huangshan on high heels, we are not only sighing about their superb skills, but we are also unaware of the backwardness of our outdoor products.

When we were out when we were young, we usually wear double white shoes or liberation shoes. Later, people gradually began to wear shoes and high-end sports shoes. These shoes are used for general urban tourism and are acceptable, but they are not suitable for outdoor hiking. I remember that when the gongs in the suburbs of Beijing were just developed, our head teacher resisted the pressure and took everyone out on the eve of the exam. At that time, the spine hadn't formed any route yet. The students who ran up and down the canyon often stepped on stones to cross a clear stream. The stones were covered with moss and from time to time, people slipped into the water. The fat old bear has been in the water for less than an hour and can only dry shoes on the shore. At the time, I was wearing a pair of Nike high gangs. At the beginning I dared to fly at the edge of the creek but I was unfortunately caught in the water. We have more than 30 people in the class, and more than 60 people have been in the water. No one was spared. An outdoor excursion turned into a water park. In early summer, the weather in Beijing was relatively good. Despite the fact that many people fell into the water, we were fortunate that no one was injured and sick. However, if we go to a place where the environment is complicated and the temperature difference changes greatly, the consequences will be unthinkable.

In outdoor sports, a pair of good boots is crucial. When you are wearing a large backpack and wading in the mountains, your feet will be under much greater pressure than usual. If you need to climb or jump, your feet will be impacted from different directions. In this case, can you guarantee that your feet are not injured? A pair of good boots not only gives you comfort, but also protects your journey.

So what kind of boots do you need?

If you just travel in the city, a pair of travel shoes can handle it. If you walk more, a pair of good Walking Shoes will make your feet a lot easier. If you have a car and the terrain where you go is not very complicated, you don’t need professional outdoor shoes. Many times, I wear a pair of Clarks slippers. Clarks's shoes are not pretty, but his shoes are comfortable to wear. After wearing it for a day, his feet are still so easy. After returning home, I often feel that changing slippers is superfluous. Of course, if you compare the complex terrain, it is best to wear a pair of boots suitable for hiking.

Many people buy boots and buy hiking boots. In fact, most people do not need hiking boots. Hiking boots English is mountaineering boots, those are used by professional mountaineering enthusiasts. The main purpose of these shoes is to climb snow-capped mountains and climb glaciers, which are usually plastic, and some also include Gore-Tex's mezzanine. Warm waterproof non-slip, the price is generally around 200-400 US dollars.

Whether it is Gore-Tex hardshell or Gore-Tex laminated boots, it is best to use a waterproof material recommended by the manufacturer after a period of time. Gore's Revivex can be used for clothes, and Nikwax's waterproof shoe wax can be used. Note that Gore-Tex is generally used in combination with other nylon materials (such as Jacket nylon fabric), and its strong bearing cannot be said to be fragile but similar. When those black-haired businessmen who tell you the horse are telling you that the fabric of their boots is made of "Tex", he hasn't seen Gore-Tex until most of the time. If you leave early, go and buy it from another family.

In the midsole (Midsole), the insole is directly insole, but the English insole is in fact an insole, so I turned Midsole into an insole. The insole’s learning is mainly about comfort. Various manufacturers do a lot of articles on the insole, what protect the arch, ah, with your feet change, non-slip shock and the like. If you pay attention to this, take several different styles, and take out the insole to compare it. When you choose to look at the work is not strong, it is most important to wear comfortable and uncomfortable. The insole provides some protection to your feet to prevent ankle injuries or impact on rocks or roots. The more rough the road, the higher the hardness of the sole. Good outdoor shoes not only have a good outsole, they are also very hard and provide you with double protection. The insole has reinforced plastic or metal plates to support the soles of the feet. Such soles are quite strong. There is a wide variety of materials for Outsole. The best one is probably Vibram. The outsole is like a car tire. It is in direct contact with the ground, so it is thick and hard wearing, and anti-skid and shockproof is the most important. Many of the soles of the road do very much, but it is still relatively simple and practical Vibram bottom.

Three types of hiking boots, lightweight (Light Weight), middleweight (Mid Weight), and heavyweight (Heavy Weight).

Lightweight boots not only refer to its light weight, but also mean that its use is a general hike. These shoes are somewhat like sports shoes and are usually made of Cordura-like fabrics and a small amount of soft leather. Try not to choose low shoes, it can not provide protection for your feet. If you want to carry something back, it is very easy to sprain an ankle after your leg is tired. The insole is generally made of EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate) and can provide some protection for the foot. They are light and they don't need any running-in period to dress in the wild. If you are only engaged in Day Hike and don't need much equipment, lightweight boots are a good choice.

When you need to carry a large backpack, you need at least a pair of middleweight boots. Middleweight boots are now the most popular, the key lies in its multifaceted nature. It is not as heavy as heavyweight boots, but it can meet the requirements of most outdoor sports. Some of these boots are made of full leather, while others are made of soft leather and nylon. Its insole is harder and firmer than lightweight, and it provides good protection for athletes. Better boots use Vibram or a similar outsole. Generally these shoes weigh around 2-3 pounds and are suitable for most hiking activities. This kind of boots usually takes 1-2 weeks to go tens of kilometers to run in, so it's best to wear it before going hiking.

If you carry a lot of heavy equipment, or you need to participate in long-distance adventure activities, or where you go hiking for a lot of gravel, you need a pair of heavyweight boots. Heavyweight boots generally use the thickest leather, and the upper provides excellent protection for the athlete's foot. The insole is generally supported by a type of steel plate. The outer sole is made of thicker Vibram. Heavyweight boots are generally between 3-5 pounds. These boots are hard and require a run-in period of 3-6 weeks. If you don't tame it before you go out, your feet will suffer a lot.

Better hiking shoe manufacturers include Vasque, La Sportiva, Asolo, Salomon, Merrell and others. These manufacturers have a good reputation, but certainly not money. Note that it is best to do some research before choosing which shoe. It is very convenient to check the information on the Internet now, especially the reviews written by some consumers are even more noteworthy. Before I purchase equipment, I often go to some websites to check the information. Because shoes are something very personal, everyone feels different when they wear them. Even if it is the best shoes, others will tell it well and others will hate it. If you are interested in what kind of thing, I will pay more attention to some of the comments that are more negative, especially the more objective analysis of the shortcomings of an equipment.

After understanding the structure and type of hiking shoes, you can start choosing shoes according to your purpose. The shoe's anatomy can be seen in the equipment shop (a good shoe shop is also available). What lining the manufacturer uses, Gore-Tex, insole, and outsole are all clear at a glance. Workmanship, shoes of the same grade are also similar. In fact, what brand and material is not important, the most important thing is that this shoe must fit. When buying, be sure to wear double-thick socks. Perhaps your boots are larger than the ones you usually wear. If possible, it's best to feel back with a backpack. There is generally a slope in the outdoor product store in the United States where you can experience climbing and downhill slopes. In this way, you will have a clearer sense of how much pressure the athletes are subjected to. Shoes should not be too tight, especially in the Toebox, or you may pack your back for a day and your toes may become congested. It should not be too loose, otherwise your feet will slip, and when you are tired, you may get cramps. When picking shoes, you must try more, you can't just go, or else you suffer when you go out. Many people have to try different styles and numbers before they can find their favorite boots.

Finally talk about socks. In general, wool socks are a better choice. Why not choose cotton? The main reason is because cotton is very slow to dry. If you walk in the cold area, many feet still sweat, waiting for you to stop when the wet socks are very poor, will freeze the injured foot. Outdoor wool socks generally contain about 80% wool, plus 20% nylon to enhance the flexibility. This blended sock is more durable than pure wool socks. The warmth of wool is excellent, even after it is wet, it still has good warmth. If you sweat a lot, it is best to add a thin Liner to the wool socks. If you buy it, you can buy CoolMax fabric liner. CoolMax is a polyester and is a patented product of Du Bang Company. This wicking effect is very good, coupled with wool socks, coupled with a pair of matching hiking boots, you can rest assured on the road.
