VASQUE MANTRA

On the test: For MANTRA such a positioning in the light of the shoes (quoted VASQUE introduction: the same applies to the stroll in the agricultural market, or in the relaxed and happy on the wild trails for a single day) It is unrealistic to ask it to be "heaven". Therefore, only in different environments, the normal use of the test, and did not deliberately "devil test" to check the vitality of its tenacious. In the use of the process, more concerned about the feeling of its advantages and shortcomings, rather than "destruction."

VASQUE is one of the world famous outdoor shoes brand, excellent quality, diverse, well work, in the outdoor circle has a very good reputation.

According to the information found, this pair of MANTRA is VASQUE 2007 new product, product number is 7315, its classification is "all-round movement" shoes, "MANTRA" literal meaning roughly translated as "spell".


I think that a pair of shoes is good or bad, should be from the following aspects: First, protection and workmanship, followed by functional, the third is comfort, the fourth is the shape, the last is the price. Here, let us from one of these aspects to experience this pair of "spell" it.
● protection: protection foot is the duty of all shoes, but also the reason why the birth of shoes. It is hard to believe that it has excellent protection. MANTRA's upper body is made of 1.8mm waterproof suede leather, the other part of the nylon fabric - the purpose of this is to tightly wrapped up their feet to provide good horizontal stability and breathability.

Front and rear rubber bales to protect the design, to ensure the safety of the toes and ankles during exercise, and to prevent as much as possible thorns, scraping and other external injuries;
In the end is casting EVA, shoe last is Blur. The characteristics of the EVA are relatively "soft" to the distribution of the role, including the movement of the process of their own forces and the ground of the reaction force, as far as possible to protect the foot from the "non-control" of the infringement.

VASQUE's Blur, due to its excellent stability, had received Outside Magazine 2006 Equipment Awards.

The end is Vibram®Ananasi. Vibram's protective performance is more familiar, and its tough wear-resistant characteristics determine today's "leading" status.

In the course of the rugged mountain road, gravel and other hard objects scratched the surface of the shoe, but only at the "trauma" level, the foot was not hurt - this is a pair of good shoes the inevitable quality of the VASQUE MANTRA This grade of shoes, it is "basic requirements";

Blur excellent stability is indeed remarkable, in the jump, stealth or even slip and other actions can feel from its "sound";

Vibram®Ananasi is more powerful and powerful grip in the face of gravel, but it is felt that Vibram®Ananasi has little substantive improvement over the weakness of the "slippery" during the MANTRA test. Of course, this is not VASQUE.

The fine workmanship is obvious for MANTRA, from trace to splicing, with almost no extra thread. It can be said that this is one of the most exquisite shoes I have ever met.
Combined with the above description, it is easy to see, VASQUE MANTRA in the protection and workmanship is still very hard work, attainments deep.

● functionality: the functional in the second place is because the movement is now more and more fine, a variety of functional requirements more and more specific, there are a variety of options tend to focus. The different areas of the movement to make a different functional division to match with it becomes inevitable, which in the relatively high technical requirements of outdoor equipment is particularly prominent.

It is difficult to talk about comfort in the case of disagreement. For example, we all know, CHACO sandals are very good, but if you wear it on the snow line, feel certainly not "comfortable" but "dangerous", it can not be said that it is not good. So, personally think that comfort is built on the basis of the function, put it in the third place. Gossip do not say, or to see "spell" performance it

In the VASQUE website will MANTRA classified in the "all-around movement", that is, MANTRA can cope with most of the activities. So, is it really that way?

First, the road runs. In this process, you can feel MANTRA "casual", the performance is still good, the most prominent feeling is "light", the feeling is really suitable for such a similar exercise.

Second, increase the difficulty: walking through. This feeling is very good. In the rugged mountain road, with a cushioning EVA in the end of the absorption of some of the ground "reaction force", making MANTRA soles are very soft, it seems that some flexibility, so that walking more effort. But also can feel the slight changes in the ground, but not so "blunt"; grip is very strong, in the smooth stone surface can be very clearly feel this; and "light" the advantages of long-distance travel in the performance of more vividly The


Personal feeling to MANTRA skills, can easily cope with low altitude crossing.

The next test is:

the climb. Simply climb some steep but not dangerous cliffs, detect the corresponding capacity of MANTRA. This is not rock climbing, the difficulty is much smaller, I call it "climb":


Vibram®Ananasi began to get angry, strong grip will MANTRA firmly attached to the rock.

The wide space design of the forefoot site at this time is very reasonable, can be more substantial distortion.
Good support in the inadvertently quietly show its ability (at this time the relative height of 160CM).

"Climb" after the end, looking at the black and blue MANTRA, no longer have the heart to destroy it, and good in this shoe positioning in the light level. The tests have gone through road running, walking and "climbing" and other projects, but also generally reflects the "all-around movement" in several areas. If the "super universe omnipotent all-around shoes" I may miserable myself ... ...

● comfort: comfort in MANTRA who is not a problem, in the previous test which has demonstrated its superiority. Among them, EVA in the end of the buffer is the most impressive: because it can make walking relatively "soft" up, and this point and VASQUE mentioned "suitable for wandering in the agricultural market" with the seamless. Also, the overall breathability of the shoes as a whole, in about 2 hours on foot during the basic feel less hot.

It is noteworthy that, MANTRA forefoot parts of the wide space design is very good, the appearance of lines more harmonious, not so exaggerated, inside and feet are very consistent. Fortunately, my feet and MANTRA basically no "run-in period", directly to each other to adapt.

● on the shape: for the same thing, one hundred people will have a hundred kinds of views, can not ask everyone to agree, the so-called "difficult to tune" is the meaning. The following is just my opinion.

I personally like MANTRA, from the moment it started. Although not "close contact", it has been touched by its exquisite appearance, after a series of experience after the "shoes feet"!

I feel that in front of the appearance and function, it is more like a "wolf in sheep's clothing" - although from the surface looks a little quiet, even beautiful, but the bones are flowing "tough" blood, "outdoor "The genes are destined for its" brutal ". Thus, in the use of the basic belong to the "urban and rural integration", both can be very casual in the city wearing, idle shopping, you can also walk in the hiking, tiger trampled on the gravel ... ...

Color collocation is also more desirable: a large area of ​​blue some deep, not publicity. Side of the brown arc to increase the slightest active, so that the whole shoes Smart up. And dazzling little yellow standard is prompted: hey, is me, Vibram! ...

● Finally, of course, the price. At present, MANTRA in foreign prices for 90 dollars, because it is new, almost no discount. Domestic is 920 yuan yuan.

In terms of retail prices alone, I personally think that high - this is almost the only place where MANTRA is not satisfied with me. But this is a matter of opinion. In this regard, I can only say: "Well, VASQUE MANTRA, this is a pair of good shoes ... ..."
