Excuse me, what does gtx in hiking shoes mean?

GTX is Gore-Text? Abbreviation for fabric. It is produced by Gore Company in America. Goltes? It is made of film and high-performance textile fabrics, and uses innovative adhesives to provide long-term waterproof protection. All Gore texts? The core of the product.

The surface pores of this fabric are very small. These pores are so small that only air molecules can enter and exit freely, while water molecules cannot flow freely. As a result, Gore-Vin? Sweat can be excreted, but water can't enter the body. This can not only prevent water and sweat, but also prevent the film from being damaged by body oil or insect repellent.

Extended data:

The sole of VIBRAM is the professional sole brand with the largest sales volume and the most complete variety on the market at present, among which the sole covers almost all kinds of professional shoes in outdoor sports, totaling dozens. Why should we design so many kinds of soles in different categories? That's because many kinds of outdoor sports have very high professional requirements for shoes, and poor performance can cope with so many choices.

The hardness of the sole is directly related to the skid resistance and wear resistance of the sole. If the sole is soft, the anti-slip effect will be good, but it will inevitably affect the wear-resistant effect. If the sole is too hard, the wear resistance will be good, but it will be slippery on the smooth and wet ground such as slate road and marble floor with water after rain.

In V-shaped soles, we can be roughly divided into three categories. The first type is called broken pattern soles. These soles have fine patterns, some of which are repeated regular patterns. Usually, such soles are relatively soft, mainly to cope with wet ground. Most of these soles are assembled on upstream shoes or beach shoes, but the soft soles have excellent anti-slip effect and poor wear resistance.

The second sole pattern combines large and small patterns. Usually, large rough patterns are used around the outside, mostly around 1CM-2CM, with small patterns in the middle, and the diameter of the patterns is about 1CM. This kind of sole belongs to comprehensive sole, with moderate hardness and relatively balanced anti-slip and wear resistance.

The third kind of soles are all rough patterns, all above 1CM, with deep and angular patterns. This kind of sole is suitable for high-intensity mountaineering and other routes, and the sole is firm and firm. At this time, it is mainly wear-resistant and protective, and the sole is hard but the anti-slip effect is reduced.
