TECNICA SHASTA TCY
　　Overall: 3.3
　　This boot is ideal for guys who want a brawny midweight that can take whatever the trail throws at you.
　　"Friggin tough boot," said Steve. The rest of us agreed, giving the Shasta ($155) the highest support and durability scores in the test. So why didnt it earn a higher overall score? The high-volume fit didnt work for our female testers, and wasnt wide enough for EE-width Steve. Mike, Jon, and I got a good fit, however, and enjoyed the burly construction.
　　When I shouldered a heavy pack for an off-trail hike in Arizonas Sonoran Desert, where rock- and cactus-studded terrain is a chAllenge, the Shastas kept my ankles stable and protected my feet. The stability comes from stiff, full-grain uppers, a high and snug ankle collar, and a no-slip heel cup. The thick leather and rubber toe cap shrug off abuse, and the sole is rigid yet cushioned enough for all-day comfort. The aggressive Vibram tread delivered good traction, but Kari reported they "had to be cleaned out" more than average.
Break-in time was longer than most; the stiff ankle took about a week to soften up. The shape of the boot is also a little boxy, so they didnt mold to our feet as well as some. After a full day of wet hiking in Arizonas San Francisco Peaks, Mike reported "no leaking and no loss of shape." A fully gusseted tongue helps keep out high water, and I found that the 　　Tecni-Dry waterproof/ breathable liner allowed adequate ventilation, even during an impromptu 5-mile run (dont ask why) in 75°F desert weather.

　　湿脚测试
　　一个检查你脚型的很容易的方法。

　　你是否有自己的脚型是什么样子的疑惑？很简单，在水中把脚浸湿，然后站在一个牛皮纸袋上面，这样就会留下一个印记。
　　你的印记应该会匹配以下三种比较常见的脚型中的一种（黄色表示效果典型的区域）：

　　标准脚：标准尺寸的足弓；印记是向外展开的，前脚和脚后跟由一个在外侧的宽带连接。
　　一个标准的脚处于足跟外界，然后向内卷起（使内转通过转或旋（足底）使足底内侧承受体重和重量），有几分减震的效果。

　　平足：低足弓；留下的印记看起来像是整个足底。一个平足渗过脚跟外界，过份向内侧碾压；随着时间的过去这可能导致受伤。

　　高足弓脚：连接前脚和脚跟的印记是一个窄带。这种类型的脚通常不够内转（以通过转或旋（足底）使足底内侧承受体重和重量）并且不利于减震。
