Again When traveling in the wild, walking is definitely one of the most common activities that is indispensable. Traveling is to take a trip to the wild, enjoy the experience of overcoming obstacles, and exercise your muscles and bones. But will you protect your feet? Do you choose shoes and socks according to different walking purposes? I think this is not necessarily the case. The following is the most loyal advice from business travelers.

Depending on the destination of your walk, the shoes and socks you choose will be different. Don't wear new shoes when walking in the wild, especially on mountain trails. Because your feet have not yet broken in with the new shoes, wearing new shoes can easily cause fatigue and injury to your feet. When walking in the mountains, you will encounter various situations, so you should choose sturdy shoes when walking in the mountains: the soles should be thick, with large and deep patterns on the bottom, which can play a good anti-slip effect; the soles should be made of hard rubber , can effectively protect your feet on gravel and uneven roads; the upper should be high and hard to support the ankle; when wearing this kind of shoes, water will not easily penetrate into the shoes. These shoes are commonly known as hiking shoes.

After putting on the shoes, feel whether the toes can move. If they cannot move, the shoes are too small. There should be a centimeter gap at the front of the toes. Also walk around to see if the heel slips between the heel and the heel, it is easy to scratch the foot, and this kind of shoe is also inappropriate.

Shoelaces should not be tied too loosely or too tightly, as this will cause your feet to tire prematurely and make them prone to injury. It is best to use flat strap-like shoelaces rather than round rope-like shoelaces, because rope-like shoelaces are difficult to tighten and loosen easily.

The size of socks should be moderate. Don’t settle for too big or too small. Feet are the most diligent and hardworking in walking, so you should treat your feet well. Socks are divided into cotton, wool, chemical fiber and mixed systems.

Cotton socks: absorb sweat, non-perspiration, good touch, suitable for outings. After walking for many days, blisters are most likely to occur on the feet when wearing these socks.

Wool socks: warm and comfortable to wear in cold weather, but heavy.

Synthetic fiber socks: good at wicking away perspiration but prone to odor, so they should be changed and washed frequently.

Chemical fiber fleece socks: warm, light weight, comfortable, the first choice for outdoor sports in cold weather.

Hybrid socks: sweat-absorbent, wicking, good touch, suitable for multi-day walking. If the outdoor activities last for a long time, it is best to prepare several pairs of socks.

The secret to learning to walk

When traveling among green mountains and green waters, you must learn to walk. Those who master the "walking classics" have an easy, happy and safe time; otherwise, they will be tired, nervous, and even injured.

If you want to walk, don’t skip three steps and take two steps, or jump around. This will increase the burden on your knees and ankles, which can easily lead to fatigue or injury.

Be even and don’t rush. Walking at a steady pace saves energy and helps maintain a good attitude; walking in a hurry and resting for a while is the most tiring.

Go quickly and return slowly. You can walk a little faster on the morning trip and slower on the return trip in the evening to avoid injuries to tired joints and tendons.

Take steps instead of slopes. When going up and down mountains, try to take stone steps and avoid walking on mountain slopes. This is more in line with mechanical and physiological requirements, safe and labor-saving.

Walk hard and not soft. Walking on hard surfaces such as cement, asphalt, and slate is more energy-saving and safer than walking on soft surfaces such as grass, river beaches, and wetlands.

To avoid slipping, it is better to take a detour and walk on relatively slippery snow and grassy slopes, rather than on slippery and dangerous ice and gravel slopes. For safety.

Three more related things. First, wear soft-soled flat shoes, such as travel shoes and hiking shoes. Do not wear high heels or platform shoes. Secondly, it takes the least effort to carry things with a waist bag, followed by a backpack, and the most effortless one-shoulder bag and hand-held items. The third is to ask for directions more often to avoid taking the wrong path, and never "cross the river by feeling for the stones".

Have a nice time
