What hiking shoes should be chosen for gravel slopes with complex terrain during mountain activities?

High-waisted hiking shoes with hard soles should be selected for gravel slopes with complex terrain during mountain activities.

When traveling in mountainous areas, the terrain is more complicated, especially the gravel slope, so the traveling shoes are not enough. Therefore, high-waisted hiking shoes with hard soles should be selected for mountain travel. This kind of shoes have good anti-skid performance because of the large tire-shaped pattern at the bottom.

soles made of hard rubber can effectively prevent sprained feet on gravel or uneven roads; Mountaineering uppers are usually made of high-quality cowhide or hard nylon canvas, which is waterproof and warm. At present, some high-grade hiking shoe uppers abroad are made of GORE-TEX fabric, and their waterproof and breathable properties are incomparable with other materials.

Most hiking shoes are high-waisted. Anyone who has had mountain walking experience knows that the most tired and easily injured parts are ankles and knees when walking on mountain roads with poor road conditions. High-waist hiking shoes can dutifully protect the good fixation of their ankles, making long-distance walking safe and easy.

The classification of hiking shoes are as follows:

1. Trailshoes

Suitable for hiking activities with flat environment and light load for about one day. Even in mountainous areas, the terrain environment has obvious flat paths. Because GOTE-TEX fabric is widely used, even hiking shoes can keep the wearer's feet dry and comfortable in wet environment in rainy and snowy weather

2. Hikingboots
