First, intuitive feeling

After receiving the test of St. Fry's STX climbing shoes, I was still on a business trip in Beijing. I was soon able to wait to open the package. This paragraph of St. Fleet hiking shoes is a "classic type" outdoor hiking shoes. Pure leather upper with rubber on both sides and tail. The pattern of the sole is clear and well-distributed, and the metal lace hole is provided with strong beef tendon laces. This is my favorite low-profile model, because it is intuitively strong, gives a feeling of solid, in short, intuitive feel professional.

The rubberized design of the upper has increased the self-tightness of the hiking shoes in outdoor sports. Since the toecaps are inevitably bumped during outdoor sports, with this design, the damage to the shoes can be obviously reduced.

The pattern of the sole is clear, tough, and early-on-foot experience. The pair of test shoes is 42CM, and the upper foot is just right. Because the normal choice of outdoor shoes should be slightly larger than the actual selection of other sports shoes to number one, so we recommend that when buying outdoor shoes, we must also try on, according to their own needs. Then cooperate with my introduction to purchase. Because the slightly larger size of hiking shoes can meet different sports needs, it will not make the footsteps feel oppressive.
For this pair of St. Fray STX hiking shoes, just because the last ring of the buckle is open, it can be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the instep, so the upper foot is very suitable and the package is very tight. Shoelaces are non-slip, do not need to be tied twice and are also very secure, and are not easy to fall loose. After putting on a few steps, the upper foot felt very comfortable. Here is a special introduction to the initial intuitive feeling of this pair of shoes. All leather wrapped upper feels good. Initially, the work has also reached the standard level of outdoor climbing shoes of the same international brand. There are SYMPATEX logos on the shoes. It shows that he is a pair of quality outdoor hiking shoes using the German Sympatex fabric. This ensures the waterproof and breathable needs of this pair of hiking shoes in an outdoor environment. The sole used St. Frye's own rubber sole, the initial touch feeling should be very good wear resistance. For the waterproof and breathability of this pair of shoes, as well as wear and non-slip resistance, what kind of effect can we achieve? We are about to start testing. [attach]1333866[/attach]

The last button on the shoelace is a live buckle, which can be adjusted according to the height of the instep

After feeling on the feet: the size is right, there is no feeling of oppression, the upper is well-matched, and there is no phenomenon of not following the feet. No heel friction was found. (There used to be such experience before the socks were worn out for a short time.)

Third, I have a habit of daily life, that is, the new outdoor shoes to wear for a day. After a running-in period, the shoes are more fit, or where the discomfort is found as early as possible, so that adjustments can be made in advance, otherwise it would be very sad to really go out and wear shoes or discomfort. After wearing for a week, there was no discomfort at all, such as commuting, driving, bus crowding, and walking in the city. The shoes fit well. [attach] 1333869[/attach]

It's very Man's everyday wear with overalls or jeans.

Fourth, off-road due to the relationship between the recent work, did not encounter any long-term, went to the Golden Temple Forest Park trail running. Cross-country running has a high requirement for the non-slip of shoes, especially for turning and downslopes with large angles. If the shoes are not slippery, it is easy to cause slippage and the result is a cup. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the road about 5KM, steep slope, there are sharp bends. This section of hiking shoes are comfortable, non-slip is very good. Just consider itself as a low-cut shoe, so some of the steeper ones are still too dare not to be too fast, fearing injury to the ankle. The entire process of climbing down the hill performed excellently on the shoes, and no slippage occurred. The only downside is that the helper is relatively hard. After running for more than 40 minutes to the top, there is some pain in the roots of the toes.

Anti-skid performance is good, and steps are no longer big and afraid of pulling eggs.

Fifth, bicycles personally feel that in addition to professional climbing or speeding down the car, the requirements for riding a bicycle are estimated to be the lowest, any shoes can be dealt with. However, if you ride long distances, such as continuous 50KM or more is different, soft and breathable is very necessary. If the shoes are not soft enough, then you don't need to think about cycling the next day. The feet definitely hurt. If it is not airtight, then the foot is like a day of water so it can easily cause various diseases. In order to test this pair of shoes, I chose a route from Jindian to Xiaohe to and fro, estimating about 60KM back and forth, secondary roads, going uphill and back down long downhill. I leave at 9 am and arrive home at 3 pm. The shoes are very soft and there is no pain in the feet; in terms of ventilation, the soles of the socks are slightly moist and generally satisfactory.

Sixth, waterproof, breathable performance summary waterproof low-end shoes themselves waterproof performance only requires the daily level on the line, as long as they can cope with rain or splash on the line. So that kind of violence test can be avoided, low shoes are not suitable for water droplets. Get shoes for more than 10 days, Kunming did not rain, but no snow. So you can only find a pond to test it. Because of the fear of polluting the environment, he found a pond that was not clean in itself.

Standing in the shallow water of the pond, there was no time for a cigarette. The meaning of seepage water at the end of the thread is all wood, so the waterproof performance is absolutely qualified.
Breathable is very good on domestically produced outdoor hiking shoes for ventilation and waterproof treatment, which is also a more contradictory place, after testing the waterproof, I began to test the breathability performance. I have a good way to test the breathability is to wear different socks, a pair of COOLMAX, a pair of ordinary cotton socks, go out for a lap, and then compare.

After two pairs of socks riding a 10KG bicycle, the dryness is basically the same. Therefore, the air permeability is acceptable.

Seven, overall evaluation Advantages: waterproof, breathable, good grip. The exterior design feels awkward: The uppers and insole are a bit hard, which leads to longer running-in times. However, this is not a problem either. Finally, I would like to thank the St. Fry Company for providing me evaluation opportunities during this event. The testing of the St. Frys STX hiking shoes may be a long-term evaluation. In the future, I will use my Weibo as the launch target in daily life, in outdoor activities, and continuously release various environmental conditions for the use of this pair of shoes to give consumers an intuitive buying experience.
