今年春天，REI推出了第一批登山靴，开始涉足鞋类行业。我们测试了两种型号——防水的Traverse和轻便的Flash——看看它们的表现如何。
REI Co-op成立于1938年，已经开始生产自己的背包、帐篷和服装系列。但现在，它转向了一个全新的产品领域:鞋类。
REI的第一个大型鞋类宣传活动的目标是创造“轻便的步行鞋”。这意味着适合徒步旅行的经典、坚固的靴子，以及适合其他徒步旅行和背包旅行的轻量级徒步者的靴子。
有了“更轻的足迹”的想法，REI确保在整个生产线上都实现了一些可持续发展的大目标。在这些靴子上，包括鞋带，针织鞋面和脚底的回收内容，与蓝签批准的材料。
自去年秋天以来，我们的两位编辑已经测试了REI的两个初始启动启动的beta和生产样本。(你猜对了，2021年将会有更多的鞋子问世。)但是我们将从我们的REI导线和闪光登山靴开始。

作者在雪地里测试REI导线靴这双靴子是为走路而生的，这正是它们要做的。丽的导线徒步靴(150美元)是坚硬的，坚实的，坚固的-准备解决崎岖的徒步旅行路线。我们在各种天气、小道地形和小道难度级别下测试了这款靴子。它支撑得很好。
建设
对于第一个启动模型，REI肯定将可持续性和回收材料考虑在内。但它也确保了靴子能发挥应有的作用——耐用。
从第一个beta样品到最终生产，REI实际上将其系带挂钩从回收金属(铝)换成了非回收金属，以防止磨损和破损(我们在测试beta样品时经历了这一点)。令人欣慰的是，虽然可持续性是REI鞋类开发和设计的一个因素，但它并不是第一位的。舒适和坚固的结构高于一切。
印象
对于一个防水的徒步旅行者来说，特拉弗斯是宽敞舒适的。在大约30-40英里后，薄膜仍然像广告中宣传的那样工作，并且在大约65华氏度的测试中令人惊讶地透气。
它还能让双脚在冬天保持温暖。在一次特殊的冬季徒步旅行中，我们把这些靴子推到了距离、环境和路线的极限:在冰冻的小径上徒步10英里，在积雪上，在结冰的小溪上穿越，等等。我们甚至用微钉测试了靴子，看看它们合在一起是否合适。
如果你不介意重量，这些鞋非常适合中长时间的徒步旅行或夏季过夜的背包旅行。他们应该沉着应对崎岖的道路。它们会在大量的越野使用中发现自己的极限;它们不适合多天的冬季露营、沉重的野外丛林狩猎或登山。
我最喜欢这只靴子的方面是牵引力。5毫米的耳钉和抓地力大底绝对加强了这款靴子的坚固感，使其成为宽松或更多的技术路线的一个很好的选择。
REI的两款登山靴在设计和用途上有很大的不同，但如果要我选择的话，特拉弗斯的靴子是我的最佳选择。它们很舒服，真的防水，经济实惠，总体来说是一双非常好的靴子。
优点:
- 伟大的防水
- 坚固的适合和伟大的牵引力
- 强有力的脚踝支撑
- 我收到了很多关于颜色的赞美
缺点:
- 有点僵硬，可以更灵活些
导线(和闪光)靴子有以下尺寸:男8-14和女6-11。

REI Flash登山靴测试;摄影:Adam Ruggiero为了在夏季远足时获得额外的透气性和更柔软、更像鞋子的感觉，REI有它的闪光登山靴(130美元)的模型。就像Co-op的《闪电侠》一样包装系列与Traverse包相比，它提供了更透气、更轻便的选择，这些靴子保留了一些关键功能，但去掉了多余的部分。亚博国际平台棋牌
建设
Flash启动器明显比Traverse启动器轻，但有许多相同的组件。鞋面使用REI的FirmaKnit结构(与导线相同的鞋面材料)。正如预期的那样，针织结构感觉更透气性，并提供更大的前和横向挠性比大部分防水上导线。
另一个主要的区别是一个轻量级的尼龙柄与粗壮的柄在导线。靴子上还带着合作社的HydroWall防水膜。
防滑橡胶优雅的鞋底，点缀在前面和后面的4毫米耳，抓地力和刹车的痕迹。一个适度的中底-由10%开花藻类-目标之间的妥协舒适舒适和响应的足迹感觉。为了获得额外的防撞保护，靴子上有一层TPU覆盖的尼龙柄。
无愧于它的名字，“闪电侠”每双鞋重1磅多一点(我们13号的男式鞋每双重2.2磅)。
印象
导线给人的感觉就像轰炸机脚下的堡垒，而闪电侠给人的感觉更像是你脚的茧。即便如此，闪电侠还是击退了雪泥之类的东西——握得很结实。我的脚不是特别宽(总是穿标准宽度的鞋子)，但我立刻注意到闪电侠抱着我的前脚。这并不是一个令人不愉快的契合，因为它例证了REI所宣传的“袜子般的”感觉，并赋予了对不平坦地形的信心。
然而，同样的脚拥抱覆盖我的脚踝骨感觉不那么舒服。在我最初的徒步旅行中，我注意到大约3.5-4英里后形成了一些热点。虽然任何优秀的徒步旅行者都应该在短暂的磨合期后大步前进，但我不确定这种灵活的针织鞋面会断裂多少-它已经足够柔韧了。

图片来源:REI然而，REI告诉我们，其他测试者也注意到了同样的热点，并表示将于4月份上架的最终产品型号将解决这个问题。(同样，我们在测试早期的样品。)
但我对闪电侠唯一的打击就是那个热点。对于这样一种透气、柔软的靴子来说，它提供了非常坚固的保护，防止泥泞、水坑和细雨。没有东西湿透。也就是说，我建议你跳过小溪，而不是在小溪里溅起水花。
REI的耳片图案和TerraGrip橡胶的组合在我的测试徒步旅行中提供了出色的牵引力。即使是在Front Range一些仍在下雪的小路上，靴子也能很好地陷进去——既能推动我向上，又能阻止我向下。
作为一款更轻的靴子，Flash应该可以应付几乎任何一天的徒步旅行，当然也可以胜任过夜的背包旅行。与越野跑鞋相比，它在覆盖范围、稳定性、保护和重量方面都有所提高。
优点:
- 轻便(2-2.2磅/双)
- 透气
- 对轻装徒步旅行者有很大的抗水性
- 伟大的牵引
缺点:
- 脚踝上有热点
- 前脚掌贴身(对某些人来说可能是个问题)
