About GTX
GORE-TEX ® GTX is an abbreviation . The product marks the GORE-TEX ® fabric.
About mountaineering boots
This is one of my talking to itself by name. Why should I keep her defined as high altitude boots , because she certainly better than the performance in the high mountains in the ground, but also including the use of Gore-Tex ® and Vibram ® Humbolt sufficient to meet the most complex on the mountain climate and geographical environment.
And named mountaineering boots and more important reason is that I want to illustrate this is a pair of hiking boots , not one pair of hiking boots , hiking boots as I understand is to participate in the activities of specific technical mountaineering boots . Jannu is clearly not competent, but she was walking on the excellent quality more commendable.
Official Description:

Keyword description:
1. GORE-TEX ® high-end outdoor fabric. Be durable waterproof and highly breathable , so they can keep feet dry and provide comprehensive protection. In any weather, any season can be comfortable. Breathability and warmth of the best combination . Even in extremely harsh conditions can also be kept warm , not sweaty . Durable waterproof protection against external moisture intrusion .
2. Vibram ® Humbolt Outsole Jannu choose Vibram ® Humbolt as her outsole. Vibram is the market leader in the outdoor rubber sole .
3. X-Frame ™ one kind of roll restraining stabilizing device technologies. Special "X" -type design for protection of bare feet . Hiking shoes and hiking boots under pressure is enormous. Athletes foot is usually weight 30 pounds or more weight , walk through the necessary technology, rugged terrain . In the meantime, the direction of foot movement is often unknown . A smooth boulder would generate pressure fatigue joints , the joints more prone to injury . Movement of the foot pain, common diseases include foot side blisters , foot sprain. The X-Frame ™ is to address these situations and specially designed . The North Face ® The X-Frame ™ hiking boots are designed in a central or side bar of TPU to protect the entire structure. This structure in the control foot pronation , while also crossing the meantime as well as in lateral movement on uneven ground to provide support . X-Frame ™ itself is an effective support of technology, but when combined with the other foot techniques, such as X-Dome ™, with a grip outsole, supportive uppers and Northotic ™.
4. Heal Cradle ™ TNF heel protection technology. The role of the knee cushion , in particular with the EVA midsole and with injection molding EVA X-2TM followed by the role . According to the principle of stepped , followed by stability is crucial. First, it must help to absorb body weight , momentum and torque force . Secondly, followed by the stability of the foot is stable first stage of walking the rest of the stage set the tone . The North Face ® 's Heal CradleTM use dual structure for outdoor athletes to provide accurate performance: in rugged mountain hikers or when weight-bearing , Heal Cradle ™ to maximize the cushioning . Heal Cradle ™ use of polyurethane (PU) as a substrate , such mixed material damping performance is excellent ; insulated part require a more lightweight structure , damping demand is not high , Heal Cradle ™ structure at a higher density here EVA foam instead of PU material, enhanced insulation while reducing weight. In both cases , the top of the cup-shaped heel Heal Cradle ™ layer plays a role in escorting , helping to stability during walking . Heal Cradle ™ for foot side / central location to provide continuous stability support in the various stages of the foot during walking manipulation smoother transition smoother .
5. X-Dome ™ is an X -type structure is used in the technical effort during walking
6. Snake Plate forefoot protection technology.
7. Poron ® forefoot
8. Northotic ™ ergonomic insole design, enhanced walking comfortably .
9. Tenacious Grip technical side of the rubber adhesion , durability testing, and a plastic waterproof guarantee.
10. NorthFit ™ one kind of space technologies to increase the tongue after exercise to prevent the toes swell . Studies have shown that human foot in the long run will increase 2 cm , so Northfit increases the toe space .
11 full grain leather high-grade materials belong . Generally cattle leather uppers , because it is made of the finest materials disability less hide of work , full grain surface preserved in its natural state , thin coating, can show the pattern of natural beauty animal skins . Full grain only wear, full grain smooth surface, but also has good permeability. Full grain generally higher and the surface brightness of a layer of natural wax with a sense of the whole grain of grain more clearly represents the higher the grade .
12. AgION ™ Antimicrobial anti-bacterial deodorant Technology
13. X-2 "Cushioning forefoot and heel embedded in high impact areas the use of a mat
14. Anti-Microbial Footbed

Appearance:
Shoes :
Most people 's feet sub- standard, flat feet , high arches . Flatfoot 's foot inside the arch curvature is small, standing close to the ground almost the entire foot . Cavus who on the contrary , the arch curvature is too high , it is difficult close to the ground . European slender slender foot type , foot low , followed by a small slope , wider fatter Americans , Asians Youyi flatfoot based. But this is not absolute . Domestic shoe lasts generally designed with wide , so your feet will not be the last head is too small and compressional deformation , there are also often used abroad widened to accommodate the Asian shoe foot type.
This shoe is characterized by the typical U.S. Department of shoes for foot lanky cavus . I wear this shoe feels just the right width , height and length but have been a little before the toes can not be arrived rope , if you insist arrived rope have two left heel toe space . The solution is to pad into the insole , with the general breathable insole insole pad beneath the mountain , it is neither affect outdoor performance , but also solve the problem of foot .
Considering speculate designer shoes permeability, after all, is a double full leather , giving the shoe to remain flexible space is very large, especially after upper . Worn on the inside front and rear with a feeling we can not take into account . Rely cinches way to reduce the gap , but this will affect the comfort and aesthetics .
Shoe Size:
According to the original shoe standard code EU 42.5 corresponds 27.5cm, in accordance with the general conversion formula should correspond to 42.5 Ouma is 26.5cm - 27.5cm between different manufacturers carefully observed , there will be an international code conversion between 1-2cm floating. In particular floating half a yard more appear. It is recommended that when buying real dress , the other one not superstition shoe size data accuracy .

E. expert advice and compare ( sidelines )
Walking discussions with experts kampfgranate :
Six , expert opinions
1 Walking Expert : kampfgranate ( German hikers , trekking China since 2007 4646.1 kilometers )
2 for comparison : the same price , a design similar to the Italian high-top hiking shoes
3 Comparison of reasons : the same all- leather design, the same price , the same GTX and V bottom technology, the most important reason is kampfgranate and I feel almost the same .
4 . Dialogue:
............ ( Eliminating the need for something in front of a lot of pleasantries )
Colddogg: recent write a review , I refer you to wear your shoes on the evaluation
kampfgranate: these shoes are not suitable for walking ( mean distance Universal )
Colddogg: Why ?
kampfgranate: This is a letter I sent to vendors ( The following is my original letter to the English literal translation )
kampfgranate: I have been walking in them for more than 700km now, and I am starting to think I can pass a fair judgement by now.
I wore these shoes have gone more than 700 kilometers of road , and now I would like to have this pair of shoes can be compared impartial judge .
Well ... I don't think I can wholeheartedly recommend this shoe for a project like mine.
Well, I think I can thoroughly recommend these shoes to walk long distances like me plan
A bunch of reasons, I think you might want to hear them:
There are many reasons , I think you would be willing to listen :
- The shoelaces are very slippery, making it hard to get a tight fit on the shoe.
One , shoelaces very smooth , which makes it difficult for me to fasten it to adapt to my feet.
kampfgranate: - the leash is too thin, causing the shoelaces to press painfully on the foot (again, this goes for a tight fit)
Second, the leather is too thin , making shoelaces direct pressure on the foot very painful
- Me personally, I find the shoe too long, but not wide enough. This isn't really anything to criticize though, since everyone's feet are different.
Three , personally think that this shoe is too long , but not wide enough, it is difficult to criticize it is not good, because everyone's feet are not the same
kampfgranate:
- The shoe does not close tightly around the ankles, leaving wide gaps for all kinds of small rocks, dust and whatever else to find their way in there and cause trouble.
Fourth, the shoes can not be wrapped tightly around the joints in the nude , leaving a fairly wide gap , any small stones , dust, what other things can dig into cause trouble ;
- I don't like the fact that the inner lining is sewn right at the ankle. Reminds me of the problems I had with my last shoe - even though there aren't any problems with this one yet.
I just do not like to sew lining parts in bare feet , which reminds me of my last pair of shoes there are many problems - although these shoes , these problems have not occurred
kampfgranate:
okay, that was the cons. here's what I like about the shoe:
Okay, Here is what I liked some aspects of these shoes :
- Looks good. La classe!
Looks good.
- Seems manufactured quite well, I have only noticed that I've got some minor rub-off at the soles.
Looks very good work , I just noticed a tiny place with heel rub down
- Light-weight.
Very light
- Dries out quickly.
Drying
Evaluation conclusions and recommendations :
Surprised to find this pair of shoes with kampfgranate describes the advantages and disadvantages that pair of shoes is so acquaintance, I have not put shoes into more long-term tests, but I have a strong feeling this is a common problem in the design of , it could be a designer can not compromise with the user of the Department . Shoe designer in the design process envisaged with the user's actual experience is there are some differences , and moreover there is a design and manufacturing are also differences . And user feedback is lagging behind , product launch may have to wait for some time, usually a year , the problems appear . Of course, more important point is not like an ordinary outdoor enthusiasts , like go hiking kampfgranate such a long time , that is, they can accept the occasional 10 km to 30 km on foot between lightweight , this user account majority. So this part of the feedback may not represent the true performance of the shoes .
Below tongue space increases Northfit technology as an example . Studies have shown that TNF experts human foot in the long run will increase 2 cm , so Northfit increases the toe space to prevent foot swelling after not fit . But this is double-edged . In everyday wear , I clearly felt shoes shoes forefoot vain , like drifting bottle wooden boat . After 50 km of hiking down, my feet gradually and shoes fit, and apparently able to control these shoes , and feet should be a long walk without being squeezed shoes being worn tendencies. If there is little energy centered design better.
This said, let me think of the shoes in front of the issue , this shoe is characterized by a typical United States Department of shoes for foot lanky cavus . I wear this shoe feels just the right width , height and length but have been a little before the toes can not be arrived rope , if you insist arrived rope have two left heel toe space . The solution is to pad into the insole , with the general breathable insole insole pad beneath the mountain , it is neither affect outdoor performance , but also solve the problem of foot . Considering speculate designer shoes permeability, after all, is a double full leather , giving the shoe to remain flexible space is very large, especially after upper . Worn on the inside front and rear with a feeling we can not take into account . Rely cinches way to reduce the gap , but this will affect the comfort and aesthetics . According to the traditional concept , it does not take into account these shoes foot while Asians head design with wide last . But from kampfgranate point of view , this was not due to different uses ASEM foot long narrow design, he is a tall lean over about 1.9 Nordic , criminal techniques which reflect a common foot type person stature, his feet must be long , but narrow is still not fit. So I guess the reason was due to shoe size is too large, the other is a long narrow design is not just Asians have this problem, this design is versatile heavy duty hiking boots , and perhaps this is the previously mentioned X-2 "Cushioning and Northfit swayed by the design concept , in order to walk in the big step in the long-term effort and prevent swollen feet while walking adopted this design may be also considered in the downhill in the efficacy of mitigation forward , which would my future mountain tests confirmed.
As for Gore-Tex ® membrane permeability , water issues I do not need a lot of equipment are almost contrary to the view reiterated , this is meaningless . This pair of shoes is pigskin inner and outer speculate based on full grain leather uppers are generally cattle , leather outdoor shoes is undoubtedly a good choice, because the closer to the body , but this is more for conservationists estimate more controversial, but currently in the domestic outdoor sector I have not heard this voice , so I had reservations about , did not express their position. May be provided by a large space with the front foot so circulating permeability, very good, this is not entirely the reason Gore-Tex ® , as well as deodorant AgION ™ Antimicrobial technology . I'm so impressed by her performance , and 50 kilometers on foot in the ground water are very serious , my shoes are almost a long soak in water. 50 kilometers on foot , my heel effect after my bath , have no smell and dirt , and I did not understand what she is by design do. Waterproof Needless to say, it is very good, and clearly see drops of water rolled down , think about Gore-tex realization of the principle everyone can understand .
Injection-molded EVA X-2TM heel happens to be my greatest concern , especially X-Frame ™ technology makes use of the ankle well supported , at least I feel it is a double X bracket in protection. Followed by a space , but too big , perhaps this is the need for ventilation , so I had to fasten shoelaces every time to avoid the heel moves up and down . On both sides of the " wings " extending to near the lower leg retracted position , there will be a little grinding, but it will naturally adapt foreign expansion , my approach is to tie into the leg .
About V bottom , I can not go to participate in the discussion of this endless topic, especially in the road on foot during rain skid demanding circumstances , but that does not mean that the same will slip on the mountain environment , if you have mastered good focus on the road and grip , which is not a problem. The key is to adapt to a new outfit will be a long process. Unless otherwise no shoes completely customized composite everyone all manner of needs.
Insole Northotic ™ ergonomic design , the surface is velvet , the bottom can not be plastic hard plastic , I am not an expert on this . We know that you can arrived a little insole shoes price, but comes with the insole Jannu is completely in accordance with the design of the human foot , the former palm heel to the arch of the foot and then are very fit. I took her out, with my feet with two finger length difference , but the width is appropriate. EVA midsole TNF shoes are anatomically most powerful weapon , instead of PU material with EVA enhanced insulation while reducing the weight, the bigger shop which has about his structure diagrams, but too complicated to explain , what specific place the role technology plays damping , where effort can not be played by walking intuitive feel . Therefore not be discussed here .
Month since the experiment does not constitute an exhaustive evaluation pair of shoes , even get rid of all subjective factors . Equipment ideal evaluation period is at least one year. New, new roads, new equipment, so I can not blindly say a pair of shoes in just one month will be time to put complex natural environment, besides selling a pair of shoes is precisely applicable to the majority of users rather than the most extreme users , that is, I said earlier . The biggest reason is I am not an expert on shoes , this article is not conclusive given a lot of places even loopholes. Entitled depth profiling actually just draw his stone hills to express their views .
I look forward to wearing these shoes can be more long-term tests.
