Before we decide to buy new shoes it helps us pay attention to these tips below:
1. Consider the type of trip that will We Do Start by looking for trekking boots or shoes appropriate to look at the category / field characters are best suited to our travel plans. In general, outdoor shoes can be divided into 3 basic categories, namely:
a. Lightweight hiking shoes - These shoes are designed for very short trips such as climbing a day or overnight activity. The shoe focuses on comfort level, such as the use of protective pads, and breathable materials (with the ability to breathe-out steam from the hot shoe.)
b. Shoes for hiking is - This shoe is designed for climbing activity with a light load until sufficient climber. This shoe is more resilient and able to sustain / support the weight of a bear than a lightweight shoe, this shoe is suitable for short to moderate trips on easy terrain until quite heavy.
c. Climbing shoes for heavy / special Mountaineering boots - boots are designed for heavy field and with the burden of moderate to serious climbers. The shape is high, could support the foot, and could protect the feet and ankles. This shoe is designed for the event for days / weeks. This shoe is very tough and stiff and even some of them suitable for use crampons (for shoes snow or ice), so this sepetu very protective and support for mountaineering activities.
2. Consider Problem Materials Materials used in the manufacture of shoes or tIrekking bIoot will affect the weight, the ability to breathe / her breathability, strength and resistance to water. Based on the materials used, boots divided into:
a. Shoes with Mesh and Nylon Material Leather Pieces - The advantages of this type of shoe that is lightweight so that it can reduce the burden, tend to be soft on the feet, fast in the open, the price is relatively cheaper and can breathe (breathable), making it suitable for use in warm weather to moderate, fast wet and dry at times suitable for travel / hiking the short to medium. But it has weaknesses, including lack of stability on the sloping terrain, less durable and much less than the waterproof boots with full leather materials (except those using waterproof layer).
b. Leather Shoes - This shoe is truly waterproof, tough and more supportive than the shoe leather and nylon blend. This shoe is usually used for long trips / long, the burden of heavy climbers and climbing terrain that is difficult / hard, and most importantly durable. But the shoe boot in is not as light and as breathable mixture of leather / nylon, and require time to open and install it.
c. Plastic Shoes - This shoe is used for ice or snow field, used for climbing activities / expeditions into the mountains snow or ice. The shape is very stiff / rigid, very feasible to use crampons (serrated pedestal mounted on shoes), consists of two layers, layer in a heated and the outside as a protector,
Along with the development of technology, some good boots made from a mixture of leather / fabric or full leather now many are resistant to water so that the feet stay dry when it rains, this happened thanks to the use / treatment of water-resistant coating such as Gore-tex, Sympatex Dry-tex, Outdry, etc.. This treatment was applied to the majority of material boots to enhance the resilience of the water ..
However this layer is not a panacea for boots, because she did not last long and this treatment can affect the price and make the legs become uncomfortable when worn in hot air. The level of water resistance depends on the type of materials used, protective materials, how often to wear and how well treatment. If treatment is correct, then the water resistant coating may last longer than the old shoe itself. Therefore, always make sure to follow the rules of treatment that are usually found on every package of shoes, so that our shoes can be durable and function properly.
3. Consider how to make it In general, the boots made by mechanization / manufacturing and manual / hand made. Technique is made by stitching and taped (in-glue or in-press). Shoes made by suturing technique performance is tough and reliable, if it has been worn / damaged soles can be replaced. With this technique produced shoes will be different in terms of strength and stiffness of each manufacturer has specific tips, such as the Norwegian style, the style of Italy, etc.. While the shoes are made with the process of gluing / pasting, usually making faster, more robust results, is generally cheaper.
4. Considerations When Tried Once we choose a variety of sizes and models, the best way to decide which one will we choose is to try the shoes. When trying on shoes, shoe insoles do not rely on the general size or based on the numbers that we use. Because no shoes. 8 artificial plant / model that one may be different and it is usually different than the factory-made / brand to another. So it is best to try it.
