1. Field evaluation and experiment:
Evaluation time: 2011-3
Assessment Location: Nanshan, Shenzhen, Guangdong
Line introduction:
Test route: gravel road, step road, jungle walk, FB.
Non-slip field test experience of shoes:
Before the climb, the shoes were used more than a month. The tacit understanding between the shoes and the feet was already formed. The first time wearing, the upper was narrow and the heel was a bit stiff. When the new shoes were worn, the heel had been smashed, but it was worn out. Time has adapted and those effects have been eliminated.
The weather during this mountaineering was slightly dry, and a more leisurely shaded line test was chosen. The test route included sandstone roads and step roads. Because we were walking through the narrow lanes, the whole route was full of small gravel. It is a hill slope that runs straight up and down about 30 degrees. This kind of walking on the gravel road requires a high degree of skid resistance. However, the shoes are not as good as they can be. The performance of the shoes is excellent, the performance is incisive, and the bottom is stable. It's easy on the slope.

Waterproof indoor evaluation experience of shoes:
First put into the water, a layer of septum appears on the shoe upper, a transparent diaphragm on the upper and the water travels, see the white light in the picture, the water repellent treatment is very good.
Using water basin pressure soaking method, soaking water for one hour, one hour after the shoe body is still dry as ever, no water in the go, to ensure the shoes dry
dry.
(Fives)
to sum up:
After wearing clothes for nearly a month, the overall is FC ECO 4.0
Hiking shoes are a pair of hiking shoes suitable for all kinds of routes and they have superior functions. The powerful V-bottom has a very good grip performance for both uphill and downhill sections; the GTX fabric for the entire shoe allows me to feel more at ease with complex roads in the itinerary; Don't worry about stumbling on the way; solid heel protection for toe shoes, no need to worry about the appearance of worn shoes on the gravel road; on the other hand, the shoes are more slender, lighter weight, 1000 grams / only weight, in the hiking shoes The superiority is obvious; I did not do a special test for waterproofing and I added it later. . .
The inadequacies are:
1. The soles of the shoes are relatively narrow, and the new shoes are in use. They have a little pinch and need to adapt to a certain period of time.
2. The overall heel of the shoes is not very smooth, and it feels a bit dragged down.
3. At the other shoe's neck, the fabric is pilled; the insole is offset and the other is not.
The fabric on the neck of the shoe plays ball, and there is a feeling of wearing fur in January.
Insole offset printing.
Shoes are worn,
Some delays.
Thanks again to Layar and Gore.

In modern homes, bookcases and shelves have to take care of both roles: the practical side of offering storage, and the fashionable part of looking gorgeous. Each room has different areas where a modern bookcase fits perfectly. Some modern bookcases are totally vertical, others are short and wide, and some combine the best of both worlds. So what goes where? That`s totally up to your imagination. Vertical bookcases are usually used as complementary pieces, which means they look especially beautiful in the corners of a room. They also handle small spaces – like the area next to a window– masterfully. Bookcases take advantage of leftover wall space to bring the room together and make it feel complete. You can use a single bookcase, a matching pair spaced apart or several different kinds placed around the room.
Wide bookcases, cabinets and console tables are very powerful pieces. They`re just as comfortable blending into the background as they are drawing attention to an accent wall. That makes them ideal for placing underneath a large painting or a prominent decorative object. Besides their top surface, horizontal bookcases also offer tons of shelf space for – you guessed it – books, artwork, photographs and anything else that defines you.
What you want to display is up to you, but the general idea is to let people know more about who you are and what you like. A room with a clear signature of your personality wows guests and makes you feel happy too. And it`s a great confidence booster. Your favorite novels, pictures of friends and family, awards – basically whatever made you who your are – all look great on a bookcase in your living room, bedroom or home office.
In the living room, shelves can be accent pieces or additional fixtures. Accent shelves capture your attention. They`re a good place for large pieces of art or planters. For instance, a long shelf has enough space for a print in the center, along with several other accessories on each side. Another way to enhance the wall is to use two or more shelves arranged above each other vertically. This kind of layout offers the storage capacity of a large bookcase, but with a much more open feel.
Bookcases and shelves come in all shapes and finishes. For something sleek and modern, think about including touches of glass and metal. Mirrored shelves take elegance to new levels and combine perfectly with bright lighting and natural illumination. Use reclaimed wood if you want the feel of rustic or industrial. And remember that no one said you have to color inside the lines. Abstract shapes lend an artistic vibe to the living room.
