From the above table, we can see that the main difference between the two shoes is: HBNature YAK301 Gtx shoes lined with waterproof material Gore-Tex Sierra Boots full sock-style design, more effectively prevent water. See picture:
Below: Workers are checking the waterproofness of each Gore-Tex socks, one by one. The specific steps are to clamp the shoe's mouth with a splint, inject compressed air into the water, and put it into the water to see if any bubbles appear. The bubbler is qualified, just like a balloon.
?? Italian brand GARMONT Force Nubuck Gtx hiking shoes lined with waterproof material Gore-Tex Sierra Boots half socks-style design, I worry about wearing shoes for a long time, the water will not penetrate from the gap between the sole and the upper. See picture:
The soles of the two shoes are also Italian Vibram? Ground Control soles with good abrasion resistance. However, I feel that the soles of HBNature YAK301 Gtx shoes are harder than the bottom of GARMONT Force Nubuck Gtx shoes. Walking on complex roads can provide better support, but it is more painful to wear on initial wear. See picture:
The two shoes are high-waist and can protect the ankle more effectively. The waist height of the HBNature YAK301 Gtx shoes is 20 cm; the waist height of the GARMONT Force Nubuck Gtx shoes is 18.5 cm. The former is 1.5 centimeters taller than the latter, and the upper part of the former's tongue and shoe protector is made of genuine leather material, and the back of the shoe has a reflective design, which is very humanized, and the shoes can also have kaka-type crampons; GARMONT Force Nubuck Gtx shoes Made of nylon. See picture:
The design of toe caps is designed to protect the toe caps. However, it feels like HBNature YAK301 Gtx is not as full and sturdy as GARMONT Force Nubuck Gtx. The HBNature YAK301 Gtx has a midsole (orange and black rubber) between the outsole and the toecap. Although it looks beautiful, I don't know if it will be opened after a long time. The GARMONT Force Nubuck Gtx's toecap will be completely outsole and toecap. Wrapped up. See picture:
? Toe interior space: feeling HBNature YAK301 Gtx slightly smaller than GARMONT Force Nubuck Gtx, toe room GARMONT Force Nubuck Gtx than HBNature YAK301 Gtx large, wearing a more comfortable, this can be seen from the figure, GARMONT Force Nubuck Gtx has a wide upper. In addition, the design of the two shoelace buckles is also different: the HBNature YAK301 Gtx is better than the GARMONT Force Nubuck Gtx. The former has a large area of ​​contact between the shoelace and the shoelace clasp, which is more effective in preventing the wear of the shoelace. See picture:
??to sum up:
Both hiking shoes with similar prices have their own characteristics and are made in China. However, HBNature is not as famous as GARMONT. GARMONT's shoe type is European, and the brand is trustworthy. HBNature's claims are tailor-made for Asia and the Chinese, and continue to improve. The company’s publicity services are also relatively comprehensive. In particular, the shoes are now sent to insoles and shoelaces. Now the team leader is trying on and testing activities. It is said that 100 pairs should be tried every year. Http://

South Korea's Hanebee has a shoemaking history of 66 years! In 1938, Mr. Li Yanxiu created the company HANBEE and produced "San Qian Li" brand rubber shoes. With his diligent entrepreneurial spirit and rigorous pursuit of quality, he became a well-known brand in Korea.
In 1972, Hanebee Company became the behind-the-scenes hero of many top brands of hiking shoes (Timberland, Rockport, Merrell, Salomon, Columbia, MEPHISTO, RAICHLE, AIGLE). HANBEE not only undertakes the processing business, but also designs climbing shoes of different styles for them.

Balanced integration system:
All parts of the soles are organically integrated, with integrated shoes and feet, effective support, stability, comfort and safety
HBNature's core technical concept is how to make the hiking shoes cling to the heel and the soles of the shoes. The comfort and safety of the foot during mountaineering depend on this technology.
It is composed of 5 independent functional system layers, each of which complements each other, so that the heels are naturally stacked in the climbing shoes and are integrated in the most stable, most comfortable and safest state. When the heel completely falls, the heel bone usually tends to pronation; when the foot swings further to the outside, the foot tends to supination. Usually ligaments and muscles limit these unstable states. However, sprains can occur when the foot is subjected to more stress or fatigue. The built-in support area absorbs shocks in the middle area of ​​the sole to reduce this instability.
Mobile Control System:
Preventing sprains on the feet, supporting stable and reliable movement of the foot is continuous and repeated movement from the toes to the heels. When the foot moves, it is necessary to suppress the force that the ankle slides out (when the foot is fatigued, the accident is easy to occur) and the reliable support for ensuring the stability of the foot (the heel can be folded in the climbing shoes naturally, so that the foot and the shoe are combined)
By strengthening the inner side, it is possible to prevent the foot from suddenly turning to the outside and prevent the sprain of the foot by effectively improving the front and rear pliable zones, thereby greatly improving the comfort.
Asymmetric tongue design:
The foot is more reasonable in force and more comfortable to walk. According to the characteristics of the human foot structure, in the design of the forefoot part, the design concept of an asymmetric arrangement of the toe parts is adopted to effectively reduce the dissonance caused when walking.
In the arrangement of the shoe eye and the design of the tongue, the S-shaped system is naturally arranged along the anatomy of the instep according to the principle of human anatomy, so that the force of the foot is more reasonable and the walking is more comfortable.
Comfort shoe last system:
Perfectly adjusting the foot movement Asians and European and American people's feet are significantly different, European and American people's feet are relatively narrow, low-lying, low-lying, Asian feet wide, high-profile, straight.
HBNature mastered detailed data on various foot types and developed shoe lasts for various foot types, which can fully satisfy people's higher requirements for foot comfort.
The ergonomic mould Comfort Lasting system perfectly adjusts the movement of the foot and provides more reliable and stable support on slopes or smooth terrain.
Full upper support system:
360 degree HOT MELT

FMA widens the loose inner foot design of big toe space, so that the big toe is comfortable, flexible, flexing and stretching freely, better coordinating the movement of the foot, enhancing the stability and cushioning of walking, and ensuring the effective exertion of the foot.
The ACS asymmetric strapping maintains a parallel angle between the toe and the toe of the forefoot, thereby enhancing the synchrony of the shoe and the foot during walking and making the foot more flexible.
LTP Thickened Tongue Design Both the footbone and the foot surface are in a thick, thin shape. Asymmetrical tongue design: The outer tongue is widened and thickened, and the tongue is tighter to the foot surface to ensure the natural combination of the shoe and the foot, so that the shoe is more leg-fit and smooth, and the tongue is not easily misplaced.
