Climbing shoes and hiking shoes may not have much difference in our impression, but in reality, they are two different outdoor shoes with certain differences.
Hiking shoes are generally low waisted (this is not absolute, in most cases), because hiking shoes are designed for walking in areas with good road conditions and require long periods of walking. Therefore, the protection provided by the sole of hiking shoes is to protect your feet from sweat and has excellent breathability, which is also an important reason why hiking shoes can be used as urban leisure wear;
And hiking shoes are all high waisted, which should protect your ankle from sprains in uneven road conditions. More importantly, the sole of hiking shoes has a harder texture.
Climbing shoes


Mountaineering shoes must be hard enough to resist the abrasion of rocks, hard enough to kick hard snow out of the steps, and comfortable to walk. During a single day's activity, one may face upstream, mud, debris, fallen trees, hard snow, and steep rock walls. Choosing the right hiking shoes is quite important, and you need to feel the degree of adaptation of your feet: whether there are comfortable seams, feeling that they will fold into your feet and make your tendons feel too tight. The heel can be tightly attached to the inside of the shoe, fixed in the space, and there is extra space for the toes to swing, which will not allow you to climb forward. If the shoe is too tight, it will cause poor blood circulation, resulting in frostbite when the foot is too cold. If the shoe is too loose, it will cause blisters.
The function of hiking shoes


Waterproof performance


Most tourists pay more attention to the comfort of their shoes, but pay less attention to their waterproof and breathable properties. According to professional tests, the heat dissipation time of a pair of wet feet (in winter) is about 23 times that of dry feet. Moreover, outdoors, a pair of wet feet are prone to frostbite or other injuries. Additionally, a pair of wet shoes is heavy and adds burden to walking.


Slip resistance


The soles of hiking shoes are also very distinctive, with different manufacturers designing different patterns based on their own research. Of course, the vast majority still use large wave patterns as the main pattern, which helps to increase the anti slip performance of the shoes.


Foot protection function


In outdoor activities, whether it is mountaineering or hiking, prolonged and high-intensity activities have formed a huge load on the feet. So hiking shoes should provide excellent foot protection. In addition to the waterproof and anti slip measures mentioned above, hiking shoes must be designed and made with materials that provide sufficient protection for the ankles, soles, and toes.


durability


The first three indicators mainly focus on comfort. For hiking shoes used in harsh outdoor environments, durability is also an essential indicator. Early mountaineering and hiking shoes often used open thread, which looked very antique in appearance, but also had the problem of the shoe body not being durable. The new hiking shoes have very few visible lines and significantly improved durability. Generally speaking, full leather shoes are more durable than mixed leather shoes, and Vibram soles are more durable than regular rubber soles.
