First of all, it is stated that:
The promotion and sharing of shoes is based on the shoes I have worn and the shoes that I still keep, it is impossible to involve all kinds of shoes with a good reputation, some recommendations are what I plan to buy or think are worth buying, and it is impossible to be comprehensive, the space is limited, so far, there are better brands and models to recommend everyone can leave a message to share.
Let's put some links first, these shoes are worn by me for many years, share some of the differences between this type of shoes and their respective advantages and disadvantages, I hope you can be helpful when choosing outdoor mountaineering and hiking shoes.
Here's the text:
This article mainly explains the advantages and disadvantages of these shoes from seven aspects:
1. Envelopability.
2. Waterproof.
3. Comfort.
4. Anti-slip (and road sense) of the sole.
5. Wrapping of the ankle.
6. Easy to use and adjustable.
7. Quality.
The prices are as follows, as for what price you can start with, let's figure it out for yourself.
Each has its own path. Remember not to buy stock shoes, don't buy fakes.
There are really a lot of fakes on a certain book, there is basically no supervision, if you really put your feet on the bad environment, it will be really unpleasant, you think about more than 300 Monaco, you still want Gore fabric, are you dreaming? How much money to buy how many expensive shoes, don't think you can pick up treasures.
The shoes are as follows:
HOKA's ANTELOPE 5:
I have always been told by friends how to use cross-country shoes for mountaineering and hiking, how to be light and easy to wear, comfortable, etc., and several outdoor bigwigs at station B also like to cross wild shoes to hike to the base camp or travel long distances. And the HOKA off-road team is also so good, so they started the double. Actual feelings: not waterproof is not very suitable for long-distance outdoor, wet shoes you say fast dry nothing, the problem is that I am long-distance with the commercial team, people do not wait for my shoes to dry, and rainy days in the long distance and no holiday people are uncontrollable, so I don't want the shoes to be wet, I prefer waterproof hiking shoes, their other two pairs of hiking shoes are my more recommended, the following will put two links for your reference. As for liking off-road shoes, as long as you are used to not being waterproof, the ankle protection is relatively poor and acceptable, everyone's situation is different, you can come according to yourself, the advice here is: masters can be off-road shoes, ordinary ability of honest hiking shoes are good.
Your core is not enough to ride trail running shoes. And your speed is not up to the need for the blessing of off-road shoes, safe travel is your first choice, rather than comfortable, light, fast is your first choice.
Wrapping performance: Low-top shoes, shoes that do not wrap to the ankle are still a bit lacking overall, but it is an off-road shoe that requires a flexible ankle design, so it must be a low-top design. It is not suitable on overly complex road surfaces.
Waterproof: It can only be based on fast drying, and the waterproof demand is basically equal to zero.
Comfort: Comfortable and good, light and breathable, good for single day and short trips, suitable for familiar environments, but I personally don't like this kind of shoes with poor protection against weak chickens in the case of unknown and uncontrollable weather for many days.
Shoes anti-slip and road sense: the anti-slip performance is worse than ordinary hiking shoes, mainly because the anti-slip teeth are relatively small, in order to adapt to the rapid movement and mud removal weight reduction function, the anti-slip teeth are generally smaller. There is also a strong core strength of cross-country runners, who can control their bodies on relatively slippery roads, if they are ordinary rookies, it is estimated that they will fall into doubtful life, many writers who will write small essays are scolding their mothers for some brands of off-road shoes are not slippery, in fact, they have chosen the wrong one, they have to take off-road shoes as hiking shoes, plus their own ability is not good, this is not to dig a pit for themselves.
As for the road feeling, the sole is thicker, the elasticity is good, in fact, this design is designed for running, that is, the express rebound design, walking slowly can not exert the elasticity of this shoe, a bit of a taste of detention. But for people with a large weight, it is estimated that it will be more comfortable, and the lightweight is not too clear, and my own weight of 91 kg feels fine.
Ankle protection: Basically no, it all depends on the god's own iron ankle.
Ease of use and adjustability: This one is okay, it is easy to put on and take off.
Quality: It has been less than 2 years, it is currently stable, and the off-road gods take these shoes to run more than 100 kilometers of off-road sections, the quality should at least be online, and HOKA is also a big brand, so it will not be too embarrassing.
These two pairs belong to hiking shoes, and you can pay attention to the feeling of HOKA shoes. I felt like hiking shoes were more suitable for me after I crossed the wilderness, and I might go back to trail running shoes if I started trail running or brushing up a day of speed running that day.
Regarding the choice of off-road soles, you can take a look at this article, the sharing record of the snow leopard boss.
SCARPA Holidays:
I started it when I was 19 years old, how do you say about these shoes?
Wrapping: The performance is very good, and it really fits the foot like a pair of climbing shoes like a pair of climbing shoes. The 9 lace tension adjustments hold the ball of the foot in place, so that the ball of the foot does not slide inside the shoe when the force is exerted on difficult ground and steep surfaces. The parcel performance is top-notch.
Waterproof: Gore fabric, but I don't see what the waterproof area is inside, but it should be okay with the blessing of Gore.
Comfort: a little harder than the general hiking shoes, the shoes are also a little thinner, this shoe belongs to the close shoes, my personal understanding is a short distance hiking, and then over the rocks and other roads, do some simple climbing, difficult places changed to climbing shoes, on the way back to change to this kind of approaching shoes, this kind of shoes are more suitable for more rocky terrain, so it is also a positive design, if it is used as a long-distance multi-road situation through the feeling of comfort will be general, if you walk more rocks and more will be much better, after all, close shoes are designed to be like this。
Non-slip soles and road feel: The anti-slip teeth of the shoes are also a little larger than average, and a little larger than the average comprehensive hiking shoes. The sole of the forefoot is a little thinner than the ordinary sole, and the road feeling is much better, which can achieve accurate control of the toes and forefoot when exerting force.
Ankle protection: Although it is a mid-top shoe, the comfort and protection performance are not bad at all. And its upper is higher than that of the Monaco, and the comfort of the ankle is also very good, and it is also easy to use the ankle to exert force. The protection of the back heel is also good, and when you need to exert force, the shoes and feet are one, and it is still not thick. The stability of the heel force is also good.
Easy to use and adjustable: 9 adjustable lace buckles can reasonably adjust the tightness of the shoes according to the needs, and give climbing activities that require more wrapping to climb with a better foot feeling. It has 2 metal buckles on the top for easy on and off.
Quality: 19 years to the present head of the shoes degumming once, this pair of shoes because it is close to the shoes, Zhejiang here is not a lot of climbing routes, the use is also very little, usually when casual shoes are worn, the current quality is still relatively recognized. It is not as easy to fall as the brother next door Kailash, and now Kailash who does not fall off the bottom does not seem to be an authentic SCARPA.
LOWA Retrograde
Lowa's retrograde is a classic of lowa, and there should be many generations, as for the quality and comfort of the shoes, it is a good pair of hiking shoes, but it is definitely not a top-of-the-line model. It belongs to the kind of mountaineering and hiking shoes that you can't go wrong with, and many old donkeys will use them as heavy shoes, and some as long-distance hiking. In the early years, the reputation of 8264LOWA was average, at that time, it belonged to the time when the environmental protection glue was just replaced, and the quality of the glue was not very good, causing a lot of negative impacts. But personally, I feel that there are still some minor problems during the epidemic. My shoes were made during the epidemic, and the front was degummed twice. I haven't seen any more negative news on the Internet, and it is estimated that it is also a single quality problem rather than a large-scale quality collapse.
Wrapping: One of the main reasons for the high recognition of Lao Wa in China is the problem of wrapping, his design is wider, more suitable for Asians or more suitable for people with wide feet, you can compare the difference between Monaco and Kailash in Italy, the forefoot space is relatively empty, and it is more friendly to people with fat and wide feet. However, the standard foot and the thin one are a bit slippery, and the stability is a little worse when some special roads, such as steep rocky roads, need to be tilted to exert force. However, its overall design makes up for this shortcoming, the upper is relatively high, which perfectly avoids the problem that the sole of the foot is not too stable, and it is a perfect solution in the comprehensive design.
Waterproof: At present, I have not used and evaluated the waterproof performance for a long time in rainy days, but I feel that there is no problem under the good reputation, as for the design of the inner sole without a waterproof layer, it is estimated that LOWA is also a classic design, and it should be known whether it is necessary not to do the design of the waterproof layer of the sole for this cost balance. The waterproof height of the tongue is greater than that of the Scarper and Clispi. Relatively speaking, it can protect against higher water levels, that is, you can go to deeper snowdrifts in the snow. However, the old donkey walks the long line is mostly a substitute for the snow cover, whether this higher waterproof design really works is also a question, there is no rainy day test is not good to say, theoretically there should be a higher waterproof performance.
Comfort: The upper is made of full leather, which is softer than the other two hiking shoes, of course, the original intention of the design I feel is not designed for high-intensity hiking activities, but medium-intensity activities, for example, I wear these shoes to walk through the southern ridge line of Qingliang Peak, Siguniang Mountain Dafeng and other typical medium-intensity outdoor activities, the foot comfort is still very good, but this shoe can be very comfortable to walk down Aotai I feel that Kailash should be more comfortable, but I know that some friends wear this to walk Wusun and Wolf Tower, and they can also walk down。 When I came back, the word-of-mouth evaluation of these shoes was quite high, and he recommended it to me when I started.
Anti-slip soles and road feel: The soles are slightly thicker than Kailash's at the forefoot, and the road feel is worse, and this design feels more suitable for mud or soft dirt roads. However, the difference will not be very big, just for the road conditions designed by themselves to be more comfortable, and it can't be said how this design is, just a matter of design positioning, if you have a rocky pavement and the strength of the difficulty is not very high, the retrograde of LOWA is still very good, after all, it is a classic model that has been selling well. The sole design is also slightly softer, and the comfort of walking on not many gravel roads is still okay. There must be a reason for it to sell well for so many years.
The anti-slip performance of shoes belongs to the comprehensive sole, to say that there is no comprehensiveness, the slippery rock road is slightly slippery, the dirt road is not bad, and the dry rock road is very good to walk through the south ridge line of Qingliang Peak. In terms of nitpicking, the grip of the toe part of the shoe on the rocky road is not as good as Kailash, the other differences are not very big, the snow drainage performance of the snow is not very good, the gap of the anti-skid teeth is smaller, and the slippery and slippery resistance of the snow will be much worse, and it is easy to stick to the soil when the frozen soil thaws in winter. However, as a comprehensive shoe, it is impossible to really have a comprehensive design, and the designer must also make a balance consideration. You can't criticize the shortcomings of a certain activity and write a small essay to scold your mother. It's also important to choose the right itinerary for you and use the right equipment.
Ankle wrapping: Look at the picture to say it all, the upper is the highest, and the flexibility of the ankle is not weakened. Years of craftsmanship and experience. People with special ankle needs can consider this pair of LOWA retrogrades. In contrast, Kailash is also sufficient. The design of the retrograde high upper also greatly helps to reduce the stability of the entire foot, making the overall performance of the real shoe much higher. Kailash has made a more stable and wrapping design at the sole of the foot, so even though the design is a little low, it can also play a better wrapping role. Each has its own design features, depending on your needs.
Ease of use and adjustability: The metal buckles in the last 3 rows of the laces sometimes hook when unfastened, which is not so convenient when putting on and taking off, this is for Kailash. If it's right in front of Monaco, it's definitely more convenient. For friends with thin feet, the degree of tightness that can be adjusted in front of the laces is still average, insufficient and compressed to a very small and tight level, of course, it is only for particularly thin people, and there is no problem with ordinary foot shapes. With the design of the high upper, the overall wrapping is still very good. In particular, the fixation of the foot and neck makes the toe very protected from hitting the big toe when descending the mountain.
Quality: The above is also dotted. It has been in hand for 1 and a half years, and the front degumming has been repaired twice. The outdoor intensity is about medium, and the maximum intensity is currently used for 2 days of tri-tip corruption, 26 km. Siguniang Mountain Dafeng 3rd. The south ridge line of Qingliang Peak is 16 kilometers, and after climbing for 16 kilometers in a row, it is super downhill for 1000 meters. The cowhide is very resistant to cut, and there is no problem at all on the sharp rocks on the southern ridgeline of Qingliang Peak. At present, the pure outdoor intensity is about 200 kilometers. It can be regarded as the most mature stage of the performance of this shoe. In terms of quality, it is about average, which is not particularly good, and it is estimated that it may be related during the epidemic. Many outdoor brands have experienced a decline in quality during the pandemic.
This pair of pure hiking is not recommended, leisure camping travel is recommended.
Kailash of SCARPA
I think that among the hiking shoes, the overall design and comfort of Scarpa Kailash is the best and most suitable for me personally. But it's really common to fall from the bottom, Kailash fell off the bottom for more than 4 years, and my heart hurt for a lot of time, and I played for 4 years in 1400 oceans. I can still serve salted fish in 5 years from the last pair of Monaco, and if I want to continue to use this pair of Kailash, I can only spend 500 yuan for the bottom.
Envelopment: Optimal, whether it is the ball of the foot, the ankle, or the neck of the foot. It is very suitable for users with normal foot shapes, and it would be better to choose LOWA if it is wider.
Waterproof: Fully waterproof design, you can't see the waterproof layer on the tongue, but it doesn't matter if it really rains, you will wear a snow cover. After four years of use, no water has entered, and the waterproof effect is worthy of affirmation. However, it would be better if the materials were sufficient.
Comfort: Wearing Scarpa's and other outdoor hiking shoes, I personally like the feel of Scarpa's feet.
Non-slip soles and road feel: Relatively speaking, I may be due to large weight, I feel that the sole is a little thinner, sometimes the road feeling is too obvious, I still like the sole to be thicker, there used to be a pair of old ASOLO, the sole of that pair is relatively thick, the cushioning effect is very good, and the sole of the foot is not easy to feel a footrest. Especially on snowy days, when wearing snow claws, the soles of the feet will be particularly noticeable. Of course, this is just my personal feeling, if I could change the design, I like the shoes more, and the cushioning is a little bigger.
The forefoot is slightly thinner, and the design soul of the Italian-designed shoes comes from the Alps, and many rocky roads also need to be taken into account, so it needs to take into account the non-slip and power needs of the rocky ground. The sole is slightly stiffer, and the sole of the forefoot is slightly thinner, which makes the road feel better and can better perceive the road situation. On the other hand: it is not very suitable for foot cushioning, and it is necessary to strengthen long-distance training to strengthen the strength and wear resistance of the soles of the feet, that is, there are more calluses, and the leg strength and foot strength are better. In general, Kailash is the most comfortable I have ever used, and the non-slip soles are also very friendly to the snow, so I can walk without snow paws where people wear snow paws. The anti-skid effect on gravel and dirt is also good. The soft mud is almost as interesting as the LOWA and Monaco, and their smaller non-slip teeth make it easier to get into the loose soil and grip the ground.
Ankle wrapping: The mid-top hiking shoes are currently used so far that they are considered top-notch. The wrapping is also top-notch, I have fallen several times, and I have not injured my ankle. For climbers with poor ability and addiction, Kailash is still trustworthy in terms of protection and safety.
Easy to use and adjustable: three rows of metal quick hooks, it is very convenient to put on and take off shoes after unfastening, for people who are tired of walking, this tired day quickly take off the boots to relax, plus soak the feet not to mention how comfortable, who wears who knows. If you can take off your boots quickly, you must use it as fast as possible. The design of the metal shoe buckle makes it easier to adjust the tightness of the shoe.
Quality: 4 years of degumming of two pairs of shoes, the quality of Scarpa is best to be able to improve a little, everyone go up to see Kailash's evaluation in a certain book, how much the soles have fallen. If you buy shoes in stock and shoes that have been worn for more than 4 years, it is best to check them before going out to prevent them from coming back with one foot on the other side of the road.
My own evaluation of Scarpa is that I can accept that the soles are environmentally friendly for 4 years, but you will be 500 expensive to change the bottom, and it will be hydrated in 4 years.
CRISPI Monaco:
Started the second pair of Monaco, a few years ago when Monaco came out, I started the first generation of Monaco, this pair is the third generation or the second generation? and the first generation should be different, the first generation I still bought when I was on foot, the first time the Huihang ancient road to walk the foot bubbles also walked, and the final summary is that the shoes can, the feet are not good, plus the socks are worn wrong. Later, I improved my physical fitness several times and changed my socks, and I never walked out of the blister on the single-day route around Zhejiang. Zero wear Compared with other hiking and hiking shoes, the feeling of the instep is definitely the best, yes to the title of zero wear, but the wrapping degree I personally feel that Kailash is comfortable. There are also shoes that are not really mountaineering and hiking shoes in the strict sense, and are more inclined to alpine casual shoes. I started this time to travel to Lijiang for the Chinese New Year.
However, it should be noted that this pair of Monaco fakes has been flooded, so be careful, people who are not very professional may not be able to distinguish them. And the current price is really quite explosive, yes, it's explosive, and there is no discount for the price of more than 3000. I started by myself, fortunately, the merchant engaged in bidding activities, and when no one competed, it was cheap, and I couldn't bear it for more than 3000, so the official price of this pair of shoes was at 3200, so you should consider it. A lot of more than 300 Monaco you wear it as ordinary shoes, don't think it's true, don't think it's Gore fabric, make do with it, don't scold your mother in case of water leakage, and bear with it if you have poor breathability. After all, where is the cost of fakes and the materials. Although I also hate that a certain agent makes the price so high, I still have to encourage everyone to buy the real thing.
Let's hold it a little, next year the outdoor is estimated to be about to collapse, if you don't participate, it will slowly return to the good price of more than 2,000 heads.
Wrapping: It feels average, the whole sole of the foot will slide on the pothole, although the sole part of the foot is better than the LOWA wrapping effect, but there is no support from people's ankle wrapping, so that the sole of the foot will still slide a little.
Waterproofness: The first pair of 5 years without water records, this pair of a week is not good evaluation, the old reputation is to take the hard line to enter the water, but my own use of the intensity is not high in the case of okay, the first few outdoor trips I saw two professors of Zhejiang University wearing this shoe to walk the three tips there is no problem, our three tips team wear the most is also Monaco, I think the replacement of Monaco should still be very rough, otherwise I would not have started this pair.
Comfort: The soles of the so-called casual shoes are actually the hardest, can you imagine? The comfort of the upper is the best in my hands. In terms of overall comfort, this shoe is suitable for non-high-intensity outdoor and casual wear, a very comprehensive pair of shoes, and it is very well-known and recognizable. For example, the routes around Hangzhou and Kailash are not very different.
Anti-slip and road feeling of the sole: The anti-slip performance is actually similar to Kailash, the grip of the soft mud is also very good, the anti-slip effect is first-class, the sole is relatively hard, and the road feeling is slightly worse, but I like this road feeling.
Ankle wrapping: The only thing you need to pay attention to is to look at the road, pay attention to round stones larger than eggs, and it is easy to fall when stepping on them. When I was climbing Dongbai Mountain, I just didn't see the road well, stepped on the rocks, and bent a trekking pole. Loss of 300 oceans. However, my foot was not injured, and the 1,000-meter descent was smoothly walked. The protection performance of the ankle is sufficient level, and it cannot be said that it is very good.
Ease of use and adjustability: It is not too convenient to put on and take off the laces, the quick-hanging hardware can open the mouth of the shoe wider, this pair of buttons with laces is more convenient, when you need to quickly relax the demand, or when you are injured, it will be troublesome to put on and take off. The adjustable leather is much softer than the old tile, and the elastic adjustment is good.
Quality: The first pair is 5 years old, the second pair is more than a week, at present, the first pair of salted fish can be sold for 450 yuan after 5 years, and the second pair I saw a lot of fellow travelers and a few of my good friends wearing this shoe, so I also started again, and the quality should be trustworthy.
1032 in Zamberlan
There's nothing to say, casual shoes, handsome, shoes 5 years of natural aging soles fall off, go directly to the official website to line up for 1 year of maintenance (the size is more special) after repairing and becoming my favorite. I still regret that Zambella, who was 800 years old when Amazon ran away, didn't take a few more pairs. This shoe now the more I cross like.
But I still like 1025 and 1030 for their shoes, put two links: the best choice for reloading shoes, if the rich rich brother walks heavy and does not wear Zambella, I feel that it may be the fault of the rich brother, Zambella is definitely the first choice of the king in the heavy long-distance hiking.
Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, they are expensive, and the disadvantages of good things are actually expensive.
Millet close-up shoes
A pair of shoes that are very fragrant, I mean that the shoes are cheap, and the shoes in stock are about 4 years old, 260 yuan, and they have been worn for 3 years, and they are currently tending to the last stage of their lives. I won't go into detail about performance, shoes are good shoes, and I recommend you to take a look at the latest excellent shoes from Meile.
You can choose between these two when in demand, one is the lightest alpine climbing shoes and the other is a comfortable low-top hiking shoe.
This shoe belongs to the close shoes, you can see the soles, the sole design is very different, mainly worn when the rock road is traveling, the shoes are still a little weak for the slip of the soft mud, the grip is not good, but the contact area for the rock road is very large, and the grip is very strong.
Because it is a rock climbing function plus a European version, the forefoot is slightly narrower, and long-distance walking is not very friendly, but now there are improvements, this shoe is also an old version, and it is normal to have a little problem, and that pair of shoes will not be able to find fault with it. Anyway, I kept it for 3 years, and I must have kept it if I like it to be easy to use.
Now I mainly use it to brush the stone paved road next to us, plus ride my melon bike and mountain bike, which feels very comfortable on the feet, and it can be regarded as an alternative use.
To summarize the comparison, here is the main comparison of the differences between the three pairs of shoes.
Protect Kailash well,
Contrasting foot feel: Scarpa shoes have a better road feel, one is suitable for mud and one is suitable for rocky roads, each has its own weight, and the level of Kailash is a little higher, and the durability is better.
Where LOWA wins: The upper is higher, the warmth is slightly better, but it is not big, there are more choices of colors, and there are more physical stores to try on and compare. The ball of the foot is wider and suitable for users who need wide feet.
It's better for me to choose between standard feet or Kailash. Maybe it's also that I prefer pure outdoor travel a little more, and a little more careful to take a more intense route, this year I walked the big peak of Siguniang Mountain, and I plan to take more complicated routes next.
Monaco is both recreational and outdoors, while Kailash is more outdoorsy.
Shoes feel better on the road Kailash and Monaco is harder, depending on personal preference.
The upper comfort is good in Monaco, but the fit and wrapping Kailash are better.
Protective Kailash is good.
Monaco is still leading the way in terms of quality.
The price of Monaco is expensive, only the choice is in your hands, how will you choose?
Two types of shoes, casual Monaco, outdoor retrograde.
Fat-footed, wide-footed retrograde.
Monaco currently leads the way in terms of durability.
Regarding the choice of these three pairs of shoes, you can share them according to your own needs, and today I will probably share my experience with a rough filter, hoping to help you.
