Know The Classification Of Outdoor Shoes And Buy At Ease.

Nowadays, many consumers pay great attention to the quality of shoes when they buy outdoor shoes. After all, the cost of a pair of outdoor shoes is not a small sum, and a pair of high quality shoes is very important for outdoor hiking. This leads to an issue: the classification and use of outdoor shoes.

As far as outdoor shoes are concerned, their functions can be roughly classified into five series: 1, alpine series: (Yi Kecheng heavy climbing boots) the boots of this series are designed for snowy mountains, usually with Vibram or Skywalk big bottom, and lined with steel plates, which have strong impact resistance, can be fitted with claws, and the design of boots is very high, generally higher than 20cm. The boots are made of hard plastic resin or thickened cowhide, sheepskin sewn, and lined with warm shoe covers, which can be used to protect the feet of complex and harsh snow, ice and rock mixed terrain.

2, low mountain series: (also known as heavy climbing shoes) this kind of shoes use the peaks of 6000 meters above sea level, climbing the ice wall or ice and snow mixed rock walls. The big bottoms are made of wear-resistant rubber (Vibram or Skywalk) with organic carbon plate, and the sole is very hard. The impact force is very strong. When climbing, there are enough supporting forces. The upper is sewn with the thickened (3.0mm or above) whole cowhide or sheepskin. In order to enhance the waterproof and moisture permeation effect, GoreTex or SympaTex are usually used as lining, and the middle is sandwiched with insulation layer.

The upper is usually more than 15cm. Under complex terrain conditions, it can effectively protect the feet from damage. Some of the styles are equipped with claws, and there is no fixed structure available for binding claws.

The proportion type mountaineering boots are light, and the unloading of claws should be comfortable.

3, through the series: (also known as medium-sized mountaineering shoes) the series is designed for low mountain, canyon, desert, Gobi and other more complex terrain, suitable for long distance loading and hiking.

The structural characteristics of these shoes also belong to high shoes. The upper height of the upper is usually 13-15cm, which has strong supporting force and can effectively protect ankle bones and reduce injury.

The big end uses wear-resistant rubber, and some excellent brands also design nylon board support between the bottom and the bottom, so as to enhance the hardness of the sole, not only can effectively prevent the sole deformation, but also enhance the impact resistance.

The vamp often uses a medium thickness cowhide, sheepskin or leather blended upper. The leather part is made of Cordura fabric, which is more durable than the high mountain series and low hill series.

In order to solve the problem of waterproofing, most of the styles are lined with GoreTex material, and some are waterproof with oil skin. These shoes can walk in water or rain below the ankles.

4. Hiking Series: Hiking Series are more commonly used in outdoor sports.

The design objective is short distance and light weight walking, suitable for more gentle mountain, jungle, general outing or camping activities.

The design features of these shoes are below 12cm and have ankle protection structure.

The sole is made of wear-resistant rubber. The middle sole is made of microcellular foam and double layer rubber. The top grade brand has a large base plastic plate sandwich, which has better impact resistance and shock absorption. The upper has all leather, leather or leather mixed materials.

Some styles have GoreTex lining, and some styles are not waterproof.

The advantages of medium shoes are light, soft, comfortable and breathable.

In the uncomplicated terrain environment, walking shoes should be better than high shoes.

5. A series of Hiking Series: the series of outdoor shoes is usually called a small group of shoes. It is designed to be often worn and unweighed.

The wear-resistant rubber bottom makes you never worry about the wear of the sole, which can reduce the impact of the foot and relieve the pressure on the feet. The high grade dwarf shoes usually have the design of the keel, which can effectively prevent the deformation of the sole and strengthen the support.

Tight vamp design makes you feel like shoes on your feet.

The meticulous classification of products by international first-line brands not only reflects the importance of international first-line brands to their products, but also acts responsibly for consumers.

But like many other products, the consumption behavior of Chinese consumers is not very mature. For example, the popular X-SOCKS socks abroad, their products are classified very fine. The main categories are: motorcycle series, bicycle series, mountain bike series, running series, hiking series, special sports series, golf series, winter sports series, leisure series, business series.

Different designs are suitable for wearing in different environments, but most outdoor enthusiasts in China do not pay much attention to the different functions of different series. Once they get used to it, they are wearing a series to the end. Some consumers buy a camera, too. They buy LOMO cameras to pursue the quality of pictures, pay for the cameras and pursue the light.

Most consumers do not know the functions of each category before buying products.

The same is true of choosing outdoor shoes. On LOWA, you can't use snow series for mountaineering, because the most notable feature of LOWA's snow series is that it has sharp shoe teeth, which provides excellent grip and traction performance on ice and snow ground. It has excellent thermal performance and is suitable for activities around snowy paths and cold towns.

But if used for a certain intensity of hiking, or used for mountaineering, it will speed up the damage of shoes and reduce the life of shoes.

A pair of shoes can not have all functions, and of course, it can not meet the needs of consumers in different environments.

Before buying outdoor shoes, consumers should have a certain understanding of the different categories of products, and then choose suitable shoes according to their actual needs. They can not travel long distances to walk on foot or mountain hikes at high altitudes. They can not wear mountain series for everyday wear. This will make you uncomfortable or accelerate the damage of shoes, which is also a guarantee for their own interests.

Before going to travel, it is also necessary to know the environment of the location in advance, and then choose which shoes to go out according to the environment.

For example, in the major outdoor forums, we have heard the most commentary on LOWARENEGADE. This is a lightweight shoe with excellent performance on foot. It uses it to walk Lijiang and feel Phoenix. It definitely brings you comfortable feeling and safe protection.

But if you want to challenge Mount Everest, or carry over 50 liters above Four Girls Mountain, maybe you should consider choosing LOWA reload series TIBET.

Under the condition of heavy load, it can resist twisting, suitable for long distance trudge. Good motion stability can bring you enough safety and ensure your travel comfort.
