Ukufumana nje iimbini ezifanelekileyo zokuhamba kunye nawe kwiindawo zakho zokuhamba kunye neentengiso zangaphandle kungumngeni onzima. Ufuna into elula, ikhululekile, kwaye kulula ukuyipakisha, kodwa kufuneka kwakhona ibe ne-versatile kwaye ikhangele kakuhle. Bamele bahlale bomelele ngokwaneleyo ukujamelana nesigwebo esininzi, kwaye benze ngokulinganayo ngendlela yokuhamba, njengoko benza ukukhaba malunga nedolophu. Ngethamsanqa, yile nto ufumana ngayo isihlangu esivela kuVasque, inkampani enelifa elicebile ekudaleni izicathulo ezintle malunga naluphi na ukuphishekela ngaphandle.
Ekugqibeleni kokuqala, i-Grand Traverse ibukeka njengesixube somshumbane wezemidlalo, kunye ne-boot-hiking boot. Ukuqulunqwa kwayo okuphantsi, imibala enamandla, kunye ne-mesh kunye kunye ne-leather ze-leather ehlanganisiweyo ukudibanisa ukunika umnxiba ungcono kwizo zombini. Nge-Grand Traverse, uVasque uye wakwazi ukudala isihlangu esilula, kwaye ngokumangalisayo ukhululekile, ovakalelwa kakhulu ezinyaweni zakho. Lezi zihlangu zinika ingqiqo yokuba ugqoke umzila ohamba ngesihlangu, kodwa uncedo olongezelelweyo kunye nokuzinza okulindelayo kwinqwelo yokuhamba.
Ukuthetha ngokuzinza, iVasque ayizange ikhuphe ngandlela-thile kwinqanaba le-Grand Traverse, likhetha ukufaka imodeli yeVibram Ibex, enika inqanaba elimangalisayo lokuthintela kwiindawo ezihlukeneyo, zombini ezimanzi zome. Ingaba uhamba ngendlela yakho eyintandokazi, okanye ujikeleza ezitalatweni zaseK Kathmandu, akukho nto inonakalisa ukuzonwabisa kwakho ngokukhawuleza kunokufumanisa ukuba izihlangu zakho azikwazi ukuthatha indawo ngokufanelekileyo.
Ngethamsanqa, akunjalo nalezi zihlangu zenyama, okumele kukusebenze kakuhle kuzo zonke iindawo ezidinga kakhulu. Ndibabeke ukuvavanywa kwizitrato ze-cobblestone, iindlela zokungcola, iindlela ezidaka, kunye neendlela ezihamba phambili, ngaphandle kwemibandela. Andifuni ukuwathabatha ngokunyuka okukhulu kwi-Andes okanye kwiAlps, kodwa baninzi kunokwaneleyo umsebenzi wokukhanya kwiindawo ezinqwenelekayo.
I-Vasque iphinde ifake i-footer ye-EVA yesigxina, kunye ne-EVA midsole yesibhakabhaka ekuncedeni ukubonelela ngokutya, kunye nokukhuselwa kweenyawo. Oku kubaluleke kakhulu xa uhamba ngeendawo ezinamala, ukungalingani, ukuncedisa ukunciphisa uxinzelelo kunye neempembelelo, ngelixa kunciphisa izinga lokukhathala kwiinyawo zakho kwinkqubo. Xa sicinga ukuba sininzi kangakanani sihamba ngeenyawo ngelixa sisendleleni, oku kuwuphawu oluhle kakhulu ukuba lunalo nawuphi na umhlangulo. Ngethuba ekubeka i-Grand Traverse ukuya ku vavanyo, ndabambathisa ekuhambeni kwamalanga onke, ukuba ndifumane iinyawo zam zikhululekile kwaye zikhululekile ekupheleni kosuku, njengoko zaziqala ekuqaleni.
Enye yeempawu endikuxabayo kwihambo yam yokuhamba yinto enokubambisana nayo evumela ukuba isetyenziswe kwimisebenzi eyahlukeneyo kunye neemeko. I-Vasque ithi izicathulo ezinkulu ze-Traverse zenzelwe ukuhamba, ukuhamba ngeebhayisikili kunye neentengiso zemoto, eziza kukunika ingcamango enhle malunga nendlela ezi zihambelana ngayo. Abazange baphumelele kuphela xa befuna ukuvavanya ngaphandle, baqhubeka bejonge baze bazive benelungelo lokwenza imisebenzi engaqhelekanga malunga needolophu.
Nangona ndibathanda kangakanani le zihlangu, andizange ndiqiniseke ukuba ndiza kubakho xa ndibeka kuqala.
Ngaphandle kwebhokisi, ndawafumanisa ukuba abaqine kakhulu, kwaye bavalelwe kwibhokisi leetekisi. Nangona kunjalo, emva kwexesha, bakhululeka kakuhle, ngokuthe ngcembe babe ngakumbi bekhululekile njengoko bazibumba ezinyaweni zam. Eminye ikhefu-ngexesha limele lindelwe koko, kodwa kulo mzekelo, kubonakala kuthatha ixesha elide kunezinye ezininzi izicathulo endinxibe kwixesha elidlulileyo. Yilumkiso, ukuba unqwenela ukongeza isibini seTrans Traverses kwi-wardrobe yakho yokuhamba, ngokuqinisekileyo ufuna ukuvumela ixesha elaneleyo lokuwaphula phambi kokuba uhambe kwiholide esebenzayo.
Njengomhambi ohamba ngokukhawuleza, ndiyathanda ukuhamba ngokukhawuleza xa ndibetha indlela, ngokuqhelekileyo ndingathwali ngaphezu kweyodwa okanye ezimbini ezibini izihlangu. NgeGrande enkulu, ndiqinisekile ukuba ndinesibini leembatho ezinokukhonza njengezihlangu zodwa kwiindlela ezininzi zokuhamba, kwaye njengesihlangu esikolweni esiphambili xa ndiqhuba into enzima kakhulu.
Bahlala bekhululekile, bezinzile, kwaye bakhelwe ukuba bahlale, oko kanye kanye esikufunayo kwiinyawo zethu, kokubili ekhaya nangokuhamba kwelinye ilizwe.
I-Vasque nayo yenza ingqungquthela yabasetyhini ye-Grand Traverse. Hlola apha apha.
