What shoes are good for hiking

Hiking is an increasingly popular outdoor sport. Now there are special groups for hiking, and going in groups has many benefits. It can help each other and prevent danger. Before hiking, we need to make careful preparations and bring some necessary items. Especially when hiking, we mainly use our feet, so shoes are even more important. What shoes should we wear for hiking? Let’s take a look.

There are many kinds of shoes for hiking, which are mainly determined by the geology and terrain of the mountain you are going to.

1: Rock climbing shoes: a type of professional shoe specifically used for rock climbing, generally with a lightweight, soft, highly adhesive rubber sole - to facilitate rock climbers to better use technical movements such as pedaling on the rock wall; the edge design allows the foot to step firmly on a very small foothold; the rubber-wrapped ankle allows climbers to make a "hook" movement with the heel on the rock wall, especially on the negative angle rock wall. The design of general rock climbing shoes will squeeze the toes towards the big toe so that the force can be concentrated on the big toe, so as to stabilize the small foothold on the rock wall.

2: Hiking shoes: Hiking shoes are generally low-waisted, because they are designed for walking on areas with better road conditions and for long periods of time, so the protection provided by the soles of hiking shoes is to protect your feet from sweat and have excellent breathability. This is also an important reason why hiking shoes can be worn as casual wear in the city.

3: Hiking shoes: The structure of a pair of professional hiking shoes is as follows:

Outsole structure: It is mainly composed of outsole rubber material and woven carbon plate to make it sensitive and accurate when climbing, while ensuring the hardness of the sole.

Midsole structure: It is composed of a one-piece support or an integral nylon preformed inner support pad with microporous shock-absorbing and cushioning material, which further enhances the hardness and stability of the shoe and ensures the hardness of torsional force.

The above is an introduction to what shoes to wear for hiking. This is also the most important thing when we are hiking. When choosing, we must choose according to our own situation and the characteristics of the mountain. Not only must they be suitable for the characteristics of the mountain, but they must also be comfortable to wear and protect the feet. This is also a problem that must be considered when hiking.
