**Product Introduction**:
Upon receiving these shoes, I was immediately impressed by the attention to detail.
**First Impressions**:
The first feature that caught my eye was the hollow design of the hiking shoe, which showcases the brand's unique ingenuity and distinctive feel.
**Packaging**:
The packaging is professionally designed – a 2mm high-hardness corrugated paper box, paired with a durable nylon shoe bag that can be tightened like a backpack, making it easy to carry.
**Appearance**:
When I took the shoes out of the box, I was struck by the exquisite craftsmanship. The color, stitching, and leather details were all harmoniously balanced, giving the shoes a modern and stylish look.
**Construction Details**:
The multi-level stacking technology, various leather stitching techniques, and precise routing reflect meticulous craftsmanship. Every detail is well thought out and contributes to the overall quality.
**Hardware**:
High-strength copper locks with an antique metal texture add a touch of sophistication and durability. Riveted construction ensures strength and stability.
**Design**:
The shoe design is both stylish and practical, offering excellent resistance to wear and abrasion.
**Logo**:
The Slyde embossed logo on the upper is elegant and professional, while the G318 model features a hot stamp logo that adds a refined touch.
**Waterproof Logo**:
The bronze waterproof logo is not only fashionable but also highlights the brand's commitment to quality.
**Overall Look**:
The shoes have a bright and innovative appearance, combining strong outdoor functionality with a stylish aesthetic. The khaki and brown tones are typical for outdoor gear, as they resist dirt effectively. However, the addition of subtle green accents and stitching lines gives the shoes a more modern and elegant look.
**Custom Fit**:
The shoes are designed based on data collected from over 3,000 feet across China, ensuring a tailored fit for the Chinese foot shape. This attention to detail enhances both comfort and performance.
**Design Details**:
The upper is made from imported waterproof Niu Ba Ge and diamond matte leather, allowing for optimal function in different areas of the shoe.
**Waterproof Performance**:
The first layer of 2mm imported Nubuck provides excellent waterproofing, with a performance rating of over 25,000 times. During testing, the shoes were submerged in muddy water for 30 seconds, and upon removal, the upper remained clean and dry. This level of performance rivals many international brands.
**Water Repellency**:
The lotus leaf effect on the upper ensures good water repellency. After stepping in mud, the upper remained clean and free of stains.
**Breathability**:
The upper material is soft and breathable, offering excellent tear resistance and corrosion resistance. It keeps the feet dry and comfortable during long hikes.
**Toe Protection**:
The diamond head design is highly durable and offers excellent protection against impacts. In testing, the toe area showed no signs of discomfort after hitting hard stones.
**Heel Design**:
The heel is well-designed, with a thick and elastic structure that helps cushion the impact on the foot. The English wording on the shoe is also elegantly presented.
**Ankle Support**:
The ankle area uses super-soft beaded leather, providing superior flexibility and comfort. There is no pressure or rubbing at any angle during movement.
**Protection Features**:
The upper combines imported water-repellent Nubuck with 1680D high-wear-resistant nylon fabric, creating a seamless joint tongue that fully protects the feet from sand and dirt.
**Seamless Waterproof Technology**:
The shoes use a seamless waterproof sock structure with a cross-stitched velvet lining and S&C efficient breathable waterproof membrane. This combination ensures excellent waterproofing and warmth, while remaining soft and comfortable.
**Outsole**:
The outsole is made of S&C rubber, offering high wear resistance, anti-slip properties, and excellent performance in cold conditions.
**Midsole**:
The midsole uses German BASF and Italian GUSBI automatic integrated injection molding technology, eliminating the need for glue and making the shoes environmentally friendly. The midsole is light, flexible, and resistant to twisting.
**Support and Flexibility**:
The central support design on the sole provides enhanced stability, while the side grooves allow for greater flexibility and ease of movement.
**Anti-Slip Features**:
- **Sliding Shading Design**: Non-slip outsole ensures grip in all environments.
- **Automatic Cleaning Groove**: Mud and sand are automatically removed during walking.
- **Trapezoidal Side Gears**: Prevents side slipping and improves balance.
- **Three-Dimensional Anti-Slip Particles**: Increases friction and improves grip.
- **Central Terraced Anti-Slip Corrugations**: Provides tire-like traction.
- **Small Slope Anti-Slip Pattern**: Enhances downhill stability and reduces knee strain.
**Insole**:
The insole is thick, comfortable, and provides excellent arch support. It absorbs shocks and reduces fatigue, making it ideal for long treks.
**Top Layer**:
The top layer is a highly breathable sandwich material that is soft, comfortable, and non-slip.
**Middle Layer**:
The middle layer is a high-quality memory foam that absorbs shocks, promotes microcirculation, and includes nano-activated carbon for antibacterial, deodorizing, and moisture-wicking properties.
**Bottom Layer**:
The bottom layer is a ventilated non-woven material that shapes the foot bed, offering flexibility, sweat absorption, and lightweight comfort. The honeycomb structure allows for ventilation and natural foot shaping.
**Outdoor Test**:
To evaluate the performance of the shoes, we chose a two-day reloading route between Hebei and Shanxi, covering gravel paths, mountain trails, creeks, stone roads, and wooden scenic routes.
During the test, the shoes attracted a lot of attention from fellow hikers, who asked about the comfort and design. In addition to myself, two others also tried them.
Throughout the hike, the upper felt comfortable, especially when walking on rocky terrain. Although the shoes were new and the upper was slightly stiff, there was minimal discomfort. We walked on mountains, stone roads, grasslands, and even through creeks and streams. The waterproofing was exceptional, and the toe protection was remarkable.
After two days of hiking, I didn’t feel tired or uncomfortable. The insole played a major role in keeping my feet relaxed. The upper had excellent anti-fouling properties, with only minor dirt on the soles and no stains on the upper.
**Test Summary**:
1. The design is modern and stylish.
2. New shoes may feel slightly stiff, but this is normal.
3. The waterproofing is outstanding, and the upper resists dirt very well.
4. The price is relatively high, but with a slight reduction, it could attract more Chinese consumers.
