How To Choose The Basis And Detailed Description Of Climbing Shoes

First, the weight of shoes.

An outdoor sports expert who extends the concept of shoes to tools is concerned with the structure, quality and technology of shoes, and whether they are suitable for the harsh environment that they will face, because the correctness of all these choices will affect the smoothness of the outdoor activity plan.

Two. Classification concept of mountaineering shoes

There are many kinds of shoes needed for outdoor activities. Except for crowded and technical categories, such as rock climbing shoes, the classification of shoes mainly used for mountain activities is as follows:

1, hiking

Trail shoes

Suitable for flat environment, a day or so, light weight walking activities, even in mountain activities, the terrain environment is also obvious flat path.

Because of the wide application of GOTE-TEX fabrics, even in hiking shoes, it will ensure the feet to be dry and comfortable in rainy weather.

2. Hiking through shoes Hiking boots

For two days or more than two days of pure mountain activities, and even activities directly into the mountain area below the snow line, some brands of products can even engage in mountain activities in the snow line area, even the bad weather is also excellent.

3. Heavy climbing shoes Trek King

Suitable for long distance mountain activities, the activity area must be steep slope, gravel and ice rock mixed terrain.

The activity area is excellent above the snow line.

4, heavy

Mountaineering

It is mainly used for high altitude areas with ice, snow and cliffs mixed terrain, with extremely harsh climatic conditions.

The difference between these mountaineering shoes is mainly on their soft hardness, and the soft hardness is determined by the material and structure of the upper, sole, middle and sole.

Because of these factors, different kinds of mountaineering shoes will show different performance. Even the same type of climbing shoes will be different because of different cost and design concept.

Three. The structure of shoes

The structure of shoes is to provide users with better mountaineering technical support. The structure of a pair of professional mountaineering shoes is as follows:

Outsole structure: mainly made of large rubber material and woven carbon plate, so that it is sensitive and accurate when climbing, and ensures the hardness of sole.

Midsole structure: it is made up of conjoined support or integral nylon pre formed inner supporting cushion, cushioning and cushioning material, further enhancing the firmness and firmness of the shoes, and ensuring the hardness of torsion.

Insole structure: it provides a soft and comfortable bottom structure for the feet, and a good insole will provide a protection for the arch and heel.

Ankle structure: This is a kind of design to provide support and protection for ankles. In the design of ankle protection structure, many different rules for ankle shape are used to design protective structures.

Therefore, the exterior structure of professional mountaineering shoes is mostly high waist, and the waist of ordinary shoes will be 5--7.5 inches high.

Shoe tongue structure: the design of the inner tongue pad should be high, thick and close to the feet.

The tongue should not be moved and not misplaced.

Stable and comfortable, and the tongue opening is large enough to wear freely.

At the same time, the whole tongue folding process should be adopted.

Shoelace structure: the style of shoelace structure is mainly made up of two kinds of traditional symmetrical structure and asymmetric structure. The former pays attention to reliable appearance, and the latter pays more attention to the matching of shoelace and toe angle.

Shoe upper shoe shape: comfortable, soft and strong vamp design will provide light weight and wear-resistant and conform to the structure of feet. The space of the forefeet is reasonable and the heel is firm and reliable.

In the manufacture, we should try to use the overall materials to improve the advantages of the design. At the same time, the treatment of shoe seams must ensure that the vamp is not deformed under pressure under the pressure of the shoes.

The bottom line: the design of the professional bottom line of the climbing shoes is very particular.

Just like the F1 formula racing car, it has different tyres in different climatic conditions and road mines.

Professional mountaineering shoes differ greatly in their designs because of their different types.

Of course, there is another situation, even if it belongs to one type of climbing shoes, because of the different design concepts and different cost, the bottom line will be affected.

But as long as it is professional, the design of the bottom line must be like this:

1) the design of the front and back edges of the front and back feet is designed to tighten the ground and rock surface more firmly.

2) after that, the main function of the texture is to brake and drive effectively.

3) the right and left sides are used to prevent sideslip.

4) the middle part of the outsole and the front part of the heel are oriented towards the balanced braking zone.

5) the large shading guide channel can effectively discharge rain, snow, moisture and sediment to the bottom, further improving the anti-skid and cushioning effect of the big bottom.

Four.

major

The material selection of the outsole, especially the professional brand manufacturers, mostly choose the Vibeam outsole of Italy, because Vibeam provides professional material design besides the professional materials.

Because every year Vibeam has new materials to be developed and applied, Vibeam has always been a noun for high performance, high skill and high comfort.

Therefore, Vibeam enjoys a high reputation and credibility in the outdoor industry.

The pure cowhide is most favored by mountaineering enthusiasts because of the fact that pure cowhide is of sufficient strength and is not afraid of rock friction. The technology of material processing makes shoes even more rigid, even if they are hard objects, they will not hurt their toes.

With the rapid development of materials, the use of new composite materials in the manufacture of modern climbing shoes is no longer a novelty.

Five. Water repellency

The GORE-TEX fabric now used to enhance the waterproof property of shoes is loved and accepted by mountaineering enthusiasts early.

Every pair of professional mountaineering shoes made of GORE-TEX fabric will be subjected to strict inspection and testing.

But GORE-TEX is not a panacea, so everything has its limitations. Once the water enters the shoe from the shoe, its waterproof function will not work at all.

And it will not squeeze water out with the movement of footsteps.

In addition, the use of GORE-TEX materials will also increase the cost of climbing shoes.

To reduce costs, we must sacrifice the design of other specialties and simplify the process at the same time.

Six. Characteristics of professional mountaineering shoes

1, high waist, 5--7.5 inches, to protect the ankle in the complex terrain.

2. Italy Vibeam outsole is conducive to walking in wet and harsh terrain.

3, the middle structure of shoes needs to be quite strong and has excellent cushioning structure.

4, fewer joints, try to use whole material to make shoe upper structure.

5, the design of the tongue is thick and close to the foot, and it is connected with the upper fold. The opening is big enough to wear freely.

6, the upper and sole are sealed by the U type strake, which strengthens the structure and waterproof function.

7, the shoe tips and heels are reinforced with material protection, and the shoe tips are prominent to protect the feet.

The heel slightly drums to enhance the stability of the shoes.

When the upper and lower steep slopes and the installation of claws, reduce the pressure on the feet.

8, the advantages and disadvantages of half leather shoes and leather shoes:

1) weight reduction

2) comfort and shorten running in period.

3) easy to dry after cleaning.

4) cheap price

5) the stability of difficult terrain is worse than that of all leather shoes.

Harsh high altitude environment is not applicable.

6) semi waterproof leather shoes without waterproof structure and poor waterproof performance.

But it can squeeze and remove the moisture in the shoes when walking.

7) the service life is shorter than all leather shoes.

8) the weight and hardness are not enough to deal with hard objects, and can not effectively match the weight of the claws.
