How to choose hiking shoes?
1. Choose according to the terrain.
Generally speaking, the higher the upper of hiking shoes, the more suitable they are for complex, precipitous and steep terrain. If you cannot accurately understand the terrain of the environment for the time being, you should choose a higher grade of hiking shoes to reduce damage to your feet. ?2. Selection of hiking shoe size. When choosing a size, it is recommended to reserve 1-1.5cm. It is best to put on the shoes so that the toes are against the front of the shoes and the heel can insert a finger. It feels friction but not tight, which can reduce damage to your toes when walking on slopes. ?3. Waterproofing and sweat wicking are also very important. When exercising outdoors, it is very uncomfortable if water enters the shoes or the shoes are soaked with sweat. Therefore, when purchasing outdoor hiking shoes, we must choose hiking shoes that are waterproof and have good perspiration performance. ?4. Choose regular professional brands. In the special environment of outdoor sports, the quality of shoes often directly affects the safety of footsteps and other parts of the body. To avoid unnecessary accidents, try to choose an outdoor brand with a complete after-sales service system.
Which is better, high-top or medium-top hiking shoes?
High-tops are required on rugged mountain roads. When it comes to the classification of hiking shoes, the most obvious thing is that they can be divided into high-tops and low-tops. Climbers can choose according to their personal needs. When walking on rugged mountain roads, you should wear high-tops. If you are carrying heavy objects while climbing, you should wear high-top shoes. The protection depends on whether the shoes are low-top, medium-top, or high-top. If you have to carry heavy objects for a long time and walk a long distance, we recommend medium-top to high-top shoes. If you are going up the mountain with a lightweight backpack, you can buy low-top shoes or hiking shoes, which will give you greater flexibility. Ordinary people are not used to wearing high-top hiking shoes, so they should wear them a few times before going hiking. Low-top hiking shoes don't protect the ankle, but they are more flexible. When hiking in freezing weather, be sure to wear high-tops to help keep you warm. The advantage of high-top hiking shoes is that they protect your ankles. High-tops can reduce the chance of twisting your feet, but they can only reduce it, but they cannot completely prevent it. However, ordinary people rarely wear high-top shoes, so when you wear high-top hiking shoes for the first time, you will feel uncomfortable. Wearing high-top hiking shoes for the first time will be a little hard because it will protect your ankles. When buying high-top hiking boots for the first time, you need to wear them out a few times to get used to them.
