How To Distinguish The Function Of Outdoor Shoes Soles

The structure of human feet is very complex, and every joint needs to be coordinated during walking.

Therefore, the design of the key parts of shoes needs to consider the overall performance, which is very important to effectively play the function of the foot.

The pressure on the feet below the shoes is much greater than that on the sides, so the outdoor shoes require very high functionality on the bottom.

The complete design of each part (outsole, middle sole and bottom) of shoe sole can integrate all parts of shoes and achieve smooth, shock absorbing and comfortable effects. This comprehensive effect is far beyond the individual functions of each part.

A pair of high quality outdoor shoes, its design and manufacturing process is a complex system engineering, it consists of a number of humanized design factors.

The sole system plays a very important role in the design of outdoor shoes.

To illustrate this point, we make a detailed analysis based on the design concept of Garmont sole system.

Garmont outdoor shoes are famous brands in Italy, and the design of Garmont soles has a distinct representation in outdoor shoes.

Its sole system is usually divided into four layers, which are large, middle, keel and insole. Each structure has different functions. The functions of each part make the whole function of the sole fully developed. Its smooth, shock absorption, comfort, skid resistance and impact resistance exceed the functions of each individual part.

For the different series of outdoor shoes, Garmont has been designed specifically to make it more suitable for unique terrain environment and sports mode.

1. bottom

The outsole of outdoor shoes refers to the outermost layer of outdoor shoes. Vibram rubber is usually chosen to ensure the strong wear resistance of the sole, which is a necessary condition for outdoor shoes to have strong durability.

For the most easily worn parts of the forefoot, the sole is designed as a shallow groove to enhance the service life of the sole.

The outdoor shoe sole should not only have the wear-resisting function, but also has the main function of skid resistance. In order to achieve the anti-skid function of the big bottom, one is to use the deep pattern design on the sole and sharp edges to enhance the adhesion to the wet ground. The two is the design of the nail is wide spaced, and the middle shoe pin is angled, so that the sole can not be easily entrapped with mud sand.

The three is to embossing the front and back palms, enhancing the frictional force on the smooth hard rock surface; four, heightening the rear design with a concave arc, so that the downhill and stopping will have stronger resistance; five, in the climbing and walking terrain, the shading of the shoes is arranged in a large triangular triangular pattern, which can more easily grip the rough rock surface, and use the Vibram high viscosity rubber to make the soles stronger on the rock. Six is the sole of the Garmont light shoes, changing the whole outsole structure, and adopting the way of inserting the middle base, thereby lightening the weight of the shoes.

The design of GARMONT sole sole master ensures that the soles are strong, anti-skid, lightweight and impact resistant.

2. bottom

The main function of the sole of outdoor shoes is to solve the shock absorption during walking.

But to achieve the best damping effect, it is not enough to use damping materials alone, but also by ingenious design.

In order to achieve the perfect shock absorption effect, Garmont different series of midsole used different hardness microcellular rubber or PU material, and made the middle sole to form the shape consistent with the sole, which made the walking pressure diffuse radiating.

3 bottom

The inner bottom of the outdoor shoes is the most inner layer of the sole. It is also called the elastic inner cushion. It is an indispensable part of the bottom structure of the extreme sports shoes.

It is usually made of carbon fiber and fiberglass reinforced plastics (elastic inner bottom is mainly used for mountaineering Series). Its main function is to withstand the twisting of the studs and the pressure of the sole of the shoe. In the state of strong force, the inner bottom will produce slight elasticity, so as to relieve the pressure in the two directions.

The more light mountaineering shoes, the better the toughness of the insole material can play the role of auxiliary shock absorption.

4. keel system

The outdoor shoe keel system is mainly applicable to lighter outdoor shoes.

For example, Hiking Series and Hiking Series.

Garmont's unique keel system has gradually become the technical highlight of light equipment shoes.

There are at least three functions in the keel interlayer between the sole and the sole of the outsole.

First, to enhance the integrity of the sole, it can effectively prevent the deformation of the bottom and midsole; second, reduce the twisting of the ground, thereby reducing the chance of sprain; third, the fishbone design makes the shoes horizontal and firm and flexible, so as to make the walking stable and light and flexible.

After we understand the principle of the outdoor shoes multilayer structure sole, we will understand why outdoor shoes are different from ordinary shoes, why they are comfortable and can give their feet the best protection.

Garmont is a classic outdoor shoe brand. Besides the humanized design of sole, we can see that the design of its insoles is different from the ordinary outdoor shoes. The elastic pad provided for the shock absorption will protect your feet from six layers of protection after putting on the outdoor shoes, so that there is no reason to be uncomfortable in walking.
