HBNature CAMEL 209 Trial Report Read Full Story >>
Author: green equipment R & D team Assessment time: August 5, 2006 - 13th Assessment location: Beijing (day-to-day work and living area), suburban area (Miyun Diyushan Great Wall, Erdaohe Rock Field) To evaluate the specific materials and technical indicators of shoes HBNature CAMEL 209 UPPER: Natural waterproof leather lining: GORE-TEX Sierra Boots This is a climbing shoe assessment that I participated in by my friend. The paired 40-yard HBNature CAMEL 209 hiking shoe was selected to match my foot code (regular shoe size 39). Listening to a friend said that this is one of the five new shoes launched by HBNature this year. The price is high, and it is known that HBNature made outstanding achievements in the Chinese market last year. Before this, I ran through a pair of COLEMAN hiking shoes, used it frequently for two years, had a perforation on the upper, repeatedly broke it, and finally abandoned it. Then he purchased a pair of LSPORTIVN walking shoes. It has been used for a year and a half so far. It is only a pity that the leather of the toe cap is not protected by a rubber layer. It has been wounded by crampons (simple ten-tooth claws) and rocks and branches. It is heartbreaking. More than four years of outdoor experience made me realize the importance of shoes for outdoor use. I would rather squash the expenses on outdoor clothing and outdoor accessories. I would also like to spend more on purchasing hiking shoes. After all, the weight of two feet is difficult to compare with other parts. For a pair of suitable hiking shoes, the protection and support of the feet and the entire body cannot be ignored. Assessing a pair of hiking shoes can also use the "look, smell, ask, cut" method. There are a few surprises and a little doubt about getting these shoes. From the color point of view, it is grayish brown, a more subtle and stable color, it can be said that it is a protection color, and it is out of the mountains and people are more comfortable to dissolve into nature. In terms of appearance, this is a middle-hiking hiking shoe, which is full-bodied, heavy, and has three different textures (similar shades) of leather stitching, which enriches the layering of the shoe body. And noticed that an important part of the use of a double thread suture, enhance the firmness. Laces and buckles are also well-designed, each shoe has a matching tone tones, the top four embedded buckles are not easy to slide out of circular laces, allowing you to be more relaxed Tight laces. The other two bright spots are the removable tongues, which can regulate the warmth, breathability and comfort. The other point is the wrapped plastic heads on the shoes. It can effectively prevent sand scratches and protect leather. Note the "HBN" fluorescent lettering on the laces of the heel, but because of the high position, the trousers can easily cover it, making this magical power greatly reduced. There are three “HBN†logos on the body of the shoe, but because the color is close to the background, it does not show the personality of the brand. Suggested improvement. The shoe's lining is made of GORE-TEX Sierra Boots fabric, but now all manufacturers have widely adopted this new technology and new materials, so this can only be more profound internal strength. Unfortunately, the linings of the two shoes I tested for HBNature CAMEL 209 were wrinkled. The inadequacy of doing work brings down the quality is the least. There is also a small doubt about the use of nylon fabric on the wings of the tongue and at the mouth of the shoe, fearing that it will absorb water. This can only be diagnosed in the final practice. Asked several mountain friends who had walked through the HBN hiking shoes, their evaluation was not the same, but after all it was more than devaluation. The next day, I put on this pair of shoes and started to work in the city. I was accompanied by a pair of BRIDGEDALE thick woollen socks. When I took the bicycle to work, I was comfortable with both the toes and the soles of the feet. The soles of the feet and the inner wall of the shoes were completely saturated, especially when the heel was not painfully felt. Walking on the ground, the toes did not slide and the ground was strong. Even if there is a smooth surface with water, it is intentionally rotated and the arc is small. On the same day, when the temperature was 30 degrees Celsius, there was a slight fever in the feet. Then the tongue of the active shoe was pulled out, the shoelace was loosened, the heat dissipation effect was enhanced, and the foot was obviously more comfortable. After wandering around the city for several days, he finally waited until the weekend to decide to go to Miyun, the Great Wall. Unfortunately, it was a super sauna day on Saturday and the visibility was extremely low. I couldn't see any of the scenery. This way, I could test this pair of shoes more intensively. The humidity in the area was very large. I just climbed a tower and I had only shorts left. Feet are hot, but because of the more stone steps, I didn't pull out the tongue. After a while, the narrow stone steps waft through the stream and can only accommodate the first half of the shoe. The calf exerts force, toes and points, and passes through this dangerous zone steadily. The road to the top of the peak is a section of the steel plank road, iron railing, and iron step road. The sole reaches maximum friction on the patterned iron plate and can hardly be twisted. It seems that HBN's self-developed Clinger RUBBER sole is trustworthy. When we went down to the Eighteen Pond, we tested the waterproof performance in the valley. Soaking in water for 10 minutes, no lining wet, due to leather water repellent effect is good. Walk on a rocky slope that is about 30 degrees beside the puddle, first hand-railing, carefully, and later you can walk free to walk (of course, under the premise of controlling the body's gravity). HBNature CAMEL 209 The performance of climbing shoes on the slope was satisfying to me. In the afternoon, at the Erdao River rock farm, there was a period of rural roads that were dilapidated, and the quagmire accumulated water and shrubs slanted. Undaunted striding through mud pits, climbing shoes into a face. By the time the two lines were climbed, the soles were dry, and the soil was spalled off. The soles were not very muddy. HBNature CAMEL 209 Hiking shoes Because of the wide body of the shoe, it is ideal for applying claws. When you use it, you need to pay attention to adjusting the length of the claws. It is suitable for shoe size, and you need to tie your shoes tightly and fasten the straps so that your feet, shoes, and claws are in one place. Even a smooth snow or ice surface doesn’t want us to fall. Haha. After one week of use, the upper was observed without dents, and there were fewer scratches. Although the shoes are slightly sweaty, they are more men. In general, I was very satisfied with this pair of shoes.
