Hiking Shoes Versus Hiking Boots
There is a big debate raging in the world of hiking between those advocating soft-shell hiking shoes versus the traditional,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], heavier hiking boot. Every hiker knows lightweight-hiking allows you to romp up those steep mountain ascents in good time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but should you switch to shoes for your next trip?
Let's take a look at both boots and shoes considering their main pros and cons against several crucial characteristics,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Hiking shoes are lighter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], usually half the weight of tough-shell leather hiking boots. Shoes are made of soft-shell synthetic materials without ankle side supports. The difference in weight when hiking thousands of steps is significant,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even more so when hiking uphill. You feel like jogging up and running down.
This entirely depends on the terrain. On flat to gentle rolling hills the shoes feel best,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however your feet will feel less sore in boots over rocky trails and mountains. Boots have reinforced soles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], stiffened with varying thicknesses of metal bars,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to prevent the impact of rocky terrain over distance. In medium / 3 season boots and heavyweight / 4 season the amount of stiffening increases to provide an all-year-round boot allowing hiking in snow and ice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], attaching crampons and carrying big packs.
Only boots with a waterproof membrane such as gore-tex would be sure to keep your feet dry in a day of heavy rain (though shoes can also be waterproof especially when worn with gaiters),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
With boots and gaiters you can cross streams and shallow rivers safely knowing that no water will get in,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
In cold weather,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], through snow and on ice the tough-shell of boots and the stiffened sole offer greater warmth and hiking capability.
Hiking boots have ankle side supports that help to protect your ankle against twists and sprains from slips/falls when on the mountain or crossing rocky or wet terrain or rivers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
When a slip/fall occurs it is far less likely that you will twist or damage your ankle versus shoes. Also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the tough-shell protects the foot from knocks against rocks and the stiffened sole protects the sole of your foot from jagged rocks.
Because shoes offer less support than boots you should initially only use shoes on easy good terrain and build up slowly to greater distances so that you ensure that your ankles are strong enough to take the strain especially when they have been used to boots,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].相关的主题文章:
