Trekking shoes in translation from English - shoes for travel. This is a special footwear designed for walking on flat and mountain surfaces. It appeared in the first half of the 20th century, they were made with a smooth leather sole and were used for good adhesion to the ground on slippery mountain slopes. From the 50s, they began to make trekking shoes with a deeper and more distinct protector.

There are three types of trekking shoes:

• lightweight - designed for long walks through low mountains, quite high and very comfortable;
• heavy and hard - firmly fixed on the leg, for more difficult climbing with heavy backpacks;
• Sneakers - light and low shoes for walking in the woods and gently sloping mountains, without much fixation.

The use of the membrane is increasingly common in modern shoe models. The advantages of the membrane layer is that for a long time it does not let moisture inside. It should be borne in mind that the ventilation of these boots is worse than in normal ones. In dry and hot weather, it is advisable to wear summer sneakers. And if it starts to rain or you have to go through streams, take membrane socks with you.

1. Wear resistance.
2. Durable and quality material.

In the creation of trekking shoes, each manufacturer uses modern technology:

• moisture resistant materials;
• the type of sole that determines grip;
• a chassis that provides protection and resistance to terrestrial relief;
• reinforced shoe inserts that protect the toes.

As for the cracking sneakers, this shoe is a lightweight option for low boots. If you are going to travel on simple routes, then they are best suited. They will easily and quickly move over rough terrain. And less likely to earn corns. And if moisture gets into them, they will dry out faster than shoes. The most important difference between sneakers is a special sole, which creates excellent adhesion to any surface.

• sole, which must have a deep and clear tread;
• reinforced inserts on the toe and heel;
• inner seams should not be felt;
