I have seen a lot of wearing X -A X to take a long -term long line, that is to use it at one time.It's not just as horrible to come back, but the soles of the feet are as horrible.Therefore, the focus of this article is that the old donkey summarized the online information based on his own experience and gave the following suggestions. In helping everyone to establish the concept of mountaineering shoes and how to know how to buy mountaineering shoes.

1. Classification of hiking shoes

(1) Trailshoes-hiking shoes: Suitable for the flat Hiking Hiking activity for a flat and light weights, even in the mountains, its terrain environment also has a clear and flat path.Due to the wide application of GoTe-TEX fabrics, even hiking shoes, in rainy and snowy weather, the wearers will ensure the dryness and comfort of the feet in a humid environment.

(2) HIKINGBOOTS-Hiking walking shoes: For pure mountains that are used for two or more days, and even the event area directly reach the mountain area below the snow line.It also performed very well.

(3) Mountaineering-heavy Climbing shoes (polar Climbing shoes): It is suitable for the terrain of the mixed ice and snow rock, and it must have a very hard sole and compatible with fast-buckled ice.But it is less suitable for flat Hiking.

(4) TREKKING-heavy mountaineering shoes (long-range reinstalled hiking shoes): Long-distance health in the mountains, emphasizing comfortable and durable, long-distance use, but not specially required climbing functions.The middle layer of this hiking shoes is more flexible, so that you can get additional thrust every step; the soles are also hard, so that you can cross the rugged and difficult barren zone.

(5) Backpacking-Short-range reinstalled hiking shoes: designed for large Backpack Hiking-the itinerary is not long, but the Backpack is heavy, so the sole is also a hard bottom, and the support is very good.

(6) Hiking-short-range lightweight hiking shoes: lightweight Hiking, because the weight is not heavy, so emphasizes comfort and abandon the hard sole.Still good support.

Second, the similarities and differences in these types of mountaineering shoes:

(1) Hiking-short-range lightweight and hiking shoes/non-slip, wear-resistant, breathable fast dry/short-unified, lightest, usually not waterproof, soft bottom.

(2) Backpacking-Short-range reinstallation hiking shoes/non-slip, abrasion resistance, breathable fast dry/lightweight, lightweight, hard bottom, usually waterproof.

(3) TREKKING-long-range reinstalled hiking shoes/non-slip, abrasion resistance, breathable fast dry/middle, weight, harder bottom, usually waterproof, insulation.

(4) Mountaineering-Polar Climbing shoes/non-slip, abrasion resistance, breathable fast dry/medium high, the most heavy, ultra-hard bottom, usually waterproof, high insulation, and applicable icing.

How to try the shoes?

(1) Wearing socks that you expect to match this pair of shoes. In other words, buy socks and wear socks to try. In general mountaineering environment, the matching suggestions of socks are a pair of thin sweat socks plus a pair of medium thick climbing socks.Essence

(2) When purchasing the shoes of Zhong Gao, do not tie all the shoelaces first, just tie it to the ankle, so as not to avoid the shoelaces that will affect your judgment.Here, do you feel that there is any side to any party in the shoes first and left and right. It should be noted that the length of the mountaineering shoes will not change after wearing it, but the internal width and height will increase slightly.The enough standard is slightly loose, and the left and right width can be slightly tight or just right.

(3) After there is no problem, tie all the shoelaces after there is no problem, remember to tie it tight enough.

Fourth, the choice of mountaineering shoes

This problem is concluded. If it is ordinary hiking shoes, especially full Skin, it must be one to two sizes. If you put double -layer boots on the high altitude, because the outer layer is plastic, it will not shrink, and you must if it will not shrink.Choose according to normal size.My experience of buying shoes: First put on thick socks (if not, wear both feet), wear shoes, and laces.

(1) In the case of not tie the laces, lean your feet back to the back, and feel the support of the soles on the feet, especially whether there is a reasonable arc at the foot of the foot;

(2) Whether the sides of the left and right sides of the shoes are suitable, and there should be no large gaps. There should be a large gap in front of the toes;

(3) Lean your feet towards the tip of the shoe, the roots and heels should have a half to two fingers;

(4) Tightening shoelaces, feet roots, ankles, feet, and other parts should be reasonably supported, and there must be a feeling of space or too tight anywhere;

(5) String your toes on the hard ground (don't let the shop owner see it, it will be distressed), the toes should not be topped to the tip of the shoe. If it is, it means that the shoes are too small;

(6) The next choice is to reduce the Running -in period of the climbing foot as much as possible.After tie the shoelaces, do not heel too tightly, the ankle of the high -top shoes should not be too tight, and the tongue should not be too pressed.In fact, as long as you choose the right size and shoes enough, you may not need to run the Running -in period (but I haven't found it yet).

Special attention:

Don't believe in the size of the shoes, believe in your feet.My feet wearing leather shoes is 40. Wearing sneakers is 39. Ozark is 39. Wearing Lasportiva is 43, scarpa is 42. I don't know how big my feet are.
