Selecting mountaineering shoes must have common sense
1. Lock your range of activities and choose outdoor activities suitable for your ability, so as to choose a suitable pair of shoes.
2. choose outdoor shoes must not look at the price, look at the color, look at the style, shoes is to test all hiking shoes are suitable for you the only standard.
3. Hiking shoes in outdoor sports, the weight of hiking shoes = the intensity of outdoor activities, that is, the intensity of activities is large, the shoes will be heavier, the intensity is lighter, the burden is less, the weight of the shoes will be lighter.
4. the first pair of hiking shoes try to choose high top, because high top hiking shoes can be used as a low top, but the low top can not protect the ankle!
5. buy shoes to at least one size, or wear after a finger of wealth is good. Had better wear a pair of thick hiking socks when trying shoes, after wearing two sides do not clip feet, before and after the rich, the toe in the front movement freely, after tying shoelace, the toe will not touch the shoe head.
6. buy outdoor waterproof hiking shoes, it is best to match a pair of outdoor socks, do not use cotton socks, otherwise you want to regret, the more intensity of the activity, the thicker the socks.
7. after the purchase of shoes must be run in, about a pair of hiking shoes run in period is 3-5 days, this run in period and your wearing time.
8. Pay attention to the purchase of high top hiking shoes. When wearing shoes, you must tighten the LACES, especially the LACES at the ankle, and do not loose, because this will not be good for the shoes, but also can not play the role of protecting the ankle, and there may be blistering.
So for this part of outdoor shoes, add some small experience and skills:
For example, when you need to cross the river in the wild environment, you can use snow sleeves or plastic bags to prevent water from pouring into the shoes from above. If your shoes get wet, use newspaper or toilet paper to soak them up. There is also the problem of foot blistering when you go out, so the next time you go out, in addition to choosing a pair of suitable shoes and socks, you can take some rubber paste, put up the blistering place before walking, so that the phenomenon of blistering can be avoided.
Again, we might as well try to change when walking posture, for example, can use the heel to land, also can use the outside of the foot to land, so change posture, also can alleviate the fatigue of the footsteps. Once sprain occurs in the wild, if it is not very serious, you can still walk, then do not open your shoelace, if it is serious, can not walk, then use cold water to prevent ankle swelling, affect the subsequent trip.
After wearing outdoor shoes, how to carry out maintenance? Everyone may think this shoe is quite expensive, estimated maintenance is also very troublesome, may also have to go to a professional shoe store to deal with. It's not that complicated. These outdoor shoes were designed to cope with the complexity of life in the wild, so their maintenance is relatively simple:
1. outdoor shoes are waterproof, so do not plan to clean the shoes inside.
2. if the shoes are not too dirty, use a clean towel to wipe the surface of the soil is OK.
3. some places of the shoes are dirty, local water scrub, remember to use a soft brush.
4. Outdoor shoes must not be exposed to the sun, which will increase the aging of the cortex.
5. The insole and LACES of outdoor shoes can be removed and cleaned to improve the service life.
