This time, I was responsible for testing the Blue Ridge GTX hiking shoes from the American famous brand Montrail. It belongs to the Hiking series designed for outdoor hiking and is the latest listed hiking shoes this year. Let's first look at its technical indicators:
Positive picture
Since it is the latest product, of course, there will be a lot of the latest design, and we now look one by one: First, compared to the complex upper structure of Montrail's past main shoe Torre, Blue Ridge is quite simple and neat, the entire shoe The body is made of a waterproof leather, but the other leather is used in the upper position, which means that the two leathers are combined to form the whole body, which of course makes its waterproof and thermal performance a higher level, but also Stronger wear resistance, the biggest advantage is that single-leaf can be better according to the unique foot type stretching and extension, so as to better fit the foot; Second, Montrail not only used it in Blue Ridge proud of it The IntegraFit followed by forming technology (this is a patented technology developed after scanning one million feet), and also specifically used three-dimensional mold foam rubber, accurate positioning of the heel and full protection; Third, look at shoes Tongue, which is another highlight of Blue Ridge, is unique in both materials and liners. The exterior material does not use traditional leather or nylon mesh. Instead, a self-prepared anti-friction PU material is used to reduce the likelihood of wrinkling of the tongue, enhance breathability, and relieve stress on the top pressure point of the foot. Lining is similar to the use of a backpack carrying system. Foamed foam material, better sweat absorption, and more flexible, and has a certain degree of elasticity, excellent touch; Fourth, Gore's Stretch Gore-Tex technology integrated into the entire forefoot part, so that the upper through the fold from the front of the upper The foot or rubbing strip fully feels the user's feet, in order to achieve the purpose of customizing the forefoot; Fifth, look at the shoe, the female version of the IntegraFit shoe lasting technology used in Solitude has also been used again in the Blue Ridge GTX. This will bring a better fit to women with narrower or slim feet. At the same time, the forefoot adjustable and custom technology means that the slightly wider biped is equally comfortable (above is the official information, not my concern), please note the following comparison photo, the front side of the shoe last is raised, anti kick Better performance; Six, the most exaggerated know what? The root position of these shoes is directly wrapped in a super-sized thermoplastic sheet to provide better support for your feet. In addition, even the shoe straps are widened and thickened, the general small hands can not mention, Oh; seven, there is even more exaggerated, Blue Ridge's top four rows of shoe buckles are all double buckle settings, the purpose is still Just one? Let the shoes be more solid, and even the buckles will never be missed!
Two spell leather shoes, note! The connecting suture is not exposed by the inner rifling thread, ensuring waterproof and wear-resistant
Insole anti-friction PU material
The Blue Ridge in the middle, the score is clear, do you think of your backpack, look at the black foam material
In contrast to the photo, Blue Ridge is on the right and the front shoe sole is significantly raised
Huge, extremely sturdy thermoplastic sheet fits into the tail
In comparison, please note that the right-most Blue Ridge is not super arrogant?
It’s a huge strap and it seems to be stuck
Please note the top four rows of double buckle buckles
Having said so many good things about Blue Ridge, we must start to talk about its shortcomings.
Embroidered "Montrail" LOGO
I really don't understand that one purpose of using the plastic sheet for the whole skin is nothing more than to further enhance the waterproof and wear resistance of the shoes, but Montrail ingeniously sews a “Montrail†logo on the top of the shoe, apparently. It is damage to the waterproof and strong leather of Chengdu, and other several of its hiking shoes obviously do not have this setting.
Already wrinkled upper
This is a brand new Blue Ridge, but the upper has been distorted and folded to this extent. It is a bit scary. This part is most likely to be the place where the shoes are most prone to problems, and if there is a problem, it is very not. Good repair, your shoes can only be scrapped. Is this pair of shoes specially designed for bending soles at the time of delivery?
Surprisingly viscose conditions, it's hard to compliment the workmanship
This is the problem that I am most worried about. This is a common problem for many outdoor brands. Montrail has started domestically. These Blue Ridges are also in "Made In China". Many of my friends used to be criticizing whatever brand I made. As long as the quality of production in China is reduced, I really do not want Montrail to do the same. However, the work of these shoes is indeed quite rough. The seams are mainly in the interior and are not easy to explore. However, in terms of the viscose process, they are actually handled in such a way that it is unbelievable. Field use effects to be tested.
In actual tests, a total of 7 days were worn and the mountainous city environment was taken into account. The advantages and disadvantages of the bottom soles in the anti-skid performance are normal and no more tired. Because of the current summer, wearing these shoes is also a bit hot, but the shoe's breathability is good, the insole and the tongue's sweat-absorbent ability are quite outstanding, there is no sweating phenomenon. Disadvantages are also inevitable. The design of the full leather upper determines that the user and the shoes will have a longer running time. You'd better prepare a Band-Aid and maybe your heel will be needed. As I said above, the shoes are very strong and arrogant, so you can wear it on the stone pavement. No matter if it is a bald head or a hard sole, it can cope with the harassment of the road, a stack of dishes, ankles, toes, The soles of the feet will be protected by better safety, which in fact guarantees your weight-bearing ability from one side. Although complaining about poor workmanship, the shoes haven't been without glue or water leakage in actual use. What is even more gratifying is that the problem of opening the rubber on the side edge of the shoe head that I used to encounter with Montrail shoes has not yet occurred. Of course, this still needs the test of time. All-leather uppers, GTX fabrics, V-bottoms, and thermoplastic headers - these hard indicators determine the price of this pair of Blue Ridge: 1480. From my personal point of view, I still think that the price is slightly higher, and similarly set products of other brands are all around 1200. However, due to the brand effect of Montrail and its numerous patented technologies, it is definitely worth the price. . In the market, its popularity is very high and has been sought after by many enthusiasts.
in conclusion:
For the crowd - the pursuit of high-quality outdoor products, but also willing to invest in the pursuit of friends in one step. In addition, if you usually go out on the mountain (the road is not good), I also recommend that you have a pair of Blue Ridge.
Suitable for the environment - the best choice for walking and backpacking (Montrail official introduction). Indeed, it is all-powerful, and I personally think it is suitable for hiking on a heavy load, otherwise you really waste its skin. In the winter of Beijing, it should also be able to cope. In addition, I guess it may be able to climb some junior snow mountains with claws, but we do not follow it.
