Summary:Hiking is an outdoor activity by walking in the open environment. People do hiking for various purposes, including work activities. The hiking terrains are unusual. At that point, specific equipment is required. Especially footwear, because feet are one of the vital organs that support humans to carry out various activities. However, sufficiently unsupported footwear can be a source of problems in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to develop footwear for workers who carry out hiking activities. By using the application of biomechanics studies and surveys of potential users, the shoes are designed to be waterproof, lightweight, breathable, which also pay attention to the safeties and the comforts of the shoes. The development of features on footwear that suit their needs will make footwear more comfortable and safe to use. Hopefully, the performance of hiking will be improved through this footwear.
