Outdoor sports as a special form of sports, but decades of history. Outdoor shoes are also new terms in recent years.

With the development of mountaineering activities, mountaineering shoes came out, which were artificially sewn in small workshops in the early days. Climbing shoes After several generations of improvement and innovation, the technological level has developed rapidly. Especially the application of advanced machines and modern high-tech materials has greatly improved the performance of mountaineering shoes. When the meaning of mountaineering shoes can not accurately cover the different characteristics of shoes, it appears. Outdoor shoes The concept.

As far as outdoor shoes are concerned, there are many brands at present, but outdoor shoes under every brand have very specific pertinence, and can be roughly classified into five series according to its function classification.

Alpine series (heavy climbing boots). Specially designed for the snow mountain, it has strong impact resistance and can be loaded with ice claw. The boots are generally more than 20 centimeters. The shoe surface is made of hard plastic resin or thickened cowhide and sheepskin to adapt to the complex terrain of complex snow, ice and rock.

Low mountain series (heavy climbing shoes). The target is to climb the peaks of 6000 meters above sea level, climb the ice wall or ice and snow mixed rock walls, hard soles, strong impact resistance, enough support when climbing, and use the thickened whole cattle or sheepskin to make the vamp. In order to enhance the waterproof and moisture permeable effect, Goretex or Sympatex are often used as lining. The upper is usually more than 15 centimeters above. Under complex terrain conditions, it can effectively protect the feet from damage. Some of the styles are equipped with claws. There is no fixed structure of the binding type claws.

Through the series (medium climbing shoes). The design targets are complex terrain such as low mountains, canyons, deserts and Gobi, which are suitable for long distance loading and hiking. These shoes also belong. High shoes 。 It can enhance the impact resistance. Vamp often uses medium thickness cowhide, sheepskin or leather blended upper with leather and DuPont super wear resistant Cordura fabric.

This kind of shoe is lighter in quality, and a pair of shoes is often less than 400 grams, and has good flexibility. In some European and American countries, this series is the most popular and best selling variety.

Since the middle of twentieth Century, due to the increasingly fierce competition in outdoor products, the major brands in the world have stepped up the pace of technological innovation in shoemaking and constantly introduced new technologies. In 1960s, plastic boots were used to produce leather boots. In 1970s, synthetic shoe upper technology was applied, and air cushion and post skiing boots were developed.

Since the mid 90s of last century, the production of outdoor shoes has increased the research and development of scientific and technological content. From the application of the principles and techniques of human anatomy to the development of bilateral technology, from the design of the bottom shock absorption system to the application of the midsole keel, the outdoor shoes have achieved multiple protection for the feet, and have been favored by sports enthusiasts. High tech elements make outdoor shoes completely change the concept of traditional sports shoes.

Among them, an internationally famous brand in Italy, as a professional shoe making company, has produced 136 years' experience in the production of outdoor shoes, and experienced five generations of shoemaking people. In 2009, it launched the famous 9.81 cross-country running shoes series, becoming the leader in outdoor running shoes. 9.81 the name comes from the acceleration of gravity, meaning "you wear 9.81 series running shoes, are challenging the acceleration of gravity".

In the future, although outdoor shoes will continue to be updated in style and name, the only thing that remains unchanged is that high technology has given it a more professional and more "overbearing" function.

An outdoor athlete who works in the field all year long told reporters that outdoor equipment has been subdivided very well now. If you spend money, you can choose a lot. But when he talked about his equipment, he laughed and said, "I have camouflage clothes and a pair of comfortable sneakers are enough -- cheap, and the water is not painful to trample on the mud."

This is also a choice.
