The difference between hiking shoes and hiking shoes

Many sports enthusiasts will prepare their own hiking shoes or hiking shoes, which are specially designed and manufactured for mountain climbing and travel, and are very suitable for outdoor sports. Waterproof is the primary function of modern hiking shoes, and the waterproof and breathable performance of hiking shoes is incomparable to ordinary sports shoes. Walking shoes are shoes worn in outdoor sports and sports shoes designed according to the special requirements of hiking activities. The difference between hiking shoes and hiking shoes lies in the sole, insole and tongue. The difference between hiking shoes and hiking shoes is as follows: upper structure: hiking shoes are high-waisted shoes, which support and protect ankles. In the design of ankle protection structure, different ankle shape rules are often used to design the protection structure. Therefore, the appearance structure of professional hiking shoes is mostly high waist, and generally the waist of shoes will be 5-7.5 inches high. Walking shoes are generally low-waisted, because walking shoes are specially designed for walking in some areas with good road conditions and long walking time, and are designed for fast striding. Generally, the sole is soft and there is no lateral support. Sole structure: The sole of hiking shoes is mainly composed of outsole rubber material and woven carbon plate, which makes it sensitive and accurate when climbing and ensures the hardness of the sole. The soles of professional hiking shoes are all designed with double heels, and the inner layer is made of EVA and other damping materials, which can play a role in damping; The outer layer is made of rubber material, which plays an anti-slip and wear-resistant role. The soles of hiking shoes have flat bottom, inclined bottom and middle heel suspension bottom. The purpose of walking shoes is to avoid the injury to feet caused by special pressure and more friction during exercise. The sole has a soft interlayer to absorb the impact effect; It should be light and soft, and the sole should be impact-resistant; Stability and shock absorption are the primary considerations. Tongue structure: when we get a pair of hiking shoes, we should first check whether the tongue is connected from the outside to the inside, which is related to the windproof, sand-proof and waterproof properties of hiking shoes, and is one of the standards to measure whether hiking shoes are professional or not. The tongue pad should be designed to be high, thick and close to the foot surface. The tongue should be difficult to move and in a bad position. Stable and comfortable, the tongue opening is big enough to put on and take off freely. At the same time, the tongue should adopt integral folding technology. Walking shoes have low requirements for the tongue. Walking shoes have a certain waterproof effect, which is incomparable to other traveling shoes. Insole structure: the insole of hiking shoes is a kind of midsole structure, which provides a soft and comfortable feeling for the feet. A good insole will provide more protection for the arch and heel. Generally, the insoles of hiking shoes require ventilation, sweat absorption, sterilization and deodorization, which is somewhat different from the structural requirements of the insoles of hiking shoes. Upper structure: The upper of hiking shoes is designed to be comfortable, soft and firm, which will provide light, wear-resistant and foot-shaped, reasonable forefoot space redundancy and firm heel. The whole material should be used as much as possible to improve the design advantage. At the same time, the treatment of shoe seams must be based on the pressure in the shoe to ensure that the upper does not deform under pressure. The uppers of hiking shoes are generally made of leather, nylon or a mixture of leather and nylon, while the lining is generally made of artificial materials or soft leather.
