Do you know what mountaineering shoes are?

What is the definition and classification of industries? Let's go and have a look.

Definition of mountaineering footwear industry

Mountaineering shoes are specially designed for mountaineering and travel.

The shoes made are very suitable for outdoor sports.

Water repellency is the primary function of modern mountaineering shoes. The waterproof and breathable properties of mountaineering shoes are unmatched by ordinary sports shoes.

Classification of mountaineering shoes

Lightweight mountain climbing shoes

Most of these shoes are made of nylon cloth.

It is made of air permeability and lightweight design. Soles are also used with soft bottom, so that you are more comfortable in wearing, and do not spend too much time to adapt to it, but it is generally poor in waterproofing.

Although some shoes use waterproof materials and special design to improve their leakproof function, these shoes are not suitable for long range mountaineering and adventure activities as a whole.

Hiking shoes and general mountaineering shoes

These shoes are made of leather, nylon or mix, and some are waterproof and breathable.

The design has enhanced its firmness and durability. The soles are also designed with better grip, and some are strengthened in the heel part to protect the ankle of the user.

Therefore, its weight is generally heavier than that of light climbing shoes.

In addition to all leather made shoes, it does not have too many problems in adaptation, but most of these shoes can not match the ice claw in the snow.

Heavy-duty mountaineering shoes

The material of this kind of climbing shoes is almost the same as that of mountaineering shoes, but it strengthens the protection of feet and the design of soles for more complicated and difficult mountaineering activities.

Usually its soles are heavier and harder, and some even add steel plates to make their weight increase.

It also pays special attention to waterproofing treatment, so that you can keep your feet dry in activities.

But these shoes must be adapted before they are used. Otherwise, wearing new shoes up the mountain, hard shoes and unbending soles will make you feel very miserable.

Double Shoes

These shoes are specially designed for polar climbing. As the name suggests, they are made up of two layers of shoes inside and outside.

This kind of shoes is not only strong and heavy, but also expensive, but it is a sharp weapon when climbing.

It is made of plastic boots and warm boots. It can prevent snow from infiltrating and keeping warm.

Frostbite in bad ice and snow.

Military climbing shoes

The shoes are made of special materials and special technology.

The surface materials are made of leather cloth, and the heating material is feather down felt.

The elastic fabric is made of elastic PTFE film, and the shoe forming process is a molding process.

It has excellent comprehensive properties:

Windbreak and warmth:

The thermal insulation material is made of self developed feather blankets and made of natural down resources, which overcomes the shortcomings of the past feather and down flocs and is easy to drill, and has excellent thermal insulation property.

Compared with woollen felt, it is better in warmth retention and 1/3 in wool weight.

The thickness is only about 2/3 of wool felt.

The PTFE membrane is used as a composite layer in the shoe.

It has good windbreak effect, and even in high wind weather, it can block the invasion of cold. Therefore, in such weather, thermal insulation will not be significantly reduced.

Waterproof and moisture permeable:

The elastic PTFE membrane used by the shoe is made of special processing methods. The diameter of these holes is much smaller than that of the smallest water drops and larger than that of the gas molecules. Therefore, it can prevent water from seep into the shoes into the outside and release sweat from the outside to keep the feet dry.

Antibacterial and deodorant, shoe lining and insole cloth are treated with antibacterial agents.

Special outsole pattern design has excellent skid resistance in two directions, front and rear.

Even on ice and snow roads, it is not easy to fall down.
