Raging Shoes Have Become A Potential Safety Hazard Of Consumer Fashion In China

In recent years, outrageous shoes have become a consumption fashion in China, especially among young people. As a new kind of shoes, although fashionable, its safe use is more important.

　 Fashion Rage Shoes

The new shoes are very popular among young people in China, and are known as "tramp shoes".

It is understood that the Rage Shoes were invented by an American in 2000, and HEELYS is the brand of this kind of shoes. In recent years, with the driving effect of some movie stars' wearing in public places, outrageous shoes have quickly become a fashion and rapidly popular in China.

In terms of appearance, like ordinary sports shoes and casual shoes, there is almost no difference between them. However, when the soles are turned over, one or two small pulleys are added to the soles. The pulley is fixed in the thick sole. When it is not slippery at ordinary times, the pulley is hidden in the sole, just like ordinary shoes. When sliding, the pulley can be automatically or manually popped up to keep your feet forward and backward, gently lift your toes, tighten your legs, and then slide. When you want to stop, you can "brake" your toes when they land. It realizes two functions of daily wear and taxi entertainment.

At present, there are mainly two types of rampage shoes in the domestic market: manual shoes and automatic shoes. Those that manually retract and release the sole pulley are manual shoes, and those that automatically pop up the pulley through a button are automatic shoes. The manual tramp shoes are equipped with wrenches and wheel covers, which can load and unload pulleys on their own. They are durable and relatively safe; The automatic violence shoes shrink the pulley through the button on the shoes, which is convenient and fast. At the same time, manual and automatic models are divided into two categories: single wheel and double wheel.

In terms of style, the riot shoes are mainly sports shoes and board shoes, with colorful colors, fashionable design, and a cool, free and alternative feeling.

In order to meet the needs of consumers, through the continuous improvement and interpretation of domestic manufacturers, the Rage shoes have changed their original use only as functional shoes into products that can be worn in daily life and used for sliding sports.

　 The market is not yet mature

As a fashion product, Rage shoes have been favored by many domestic footwear enterprises since their appearance. In a short period of time, the output of domestic children's shoes manufacturing enterprises has been increasing. Especially in 2011, almost all children's sports shoes enterprises in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, and Dongguan, Guangdong Province, the domestic production bases of sports shoes, produced sneakers. However, domestic production enterprises basically process and produce on the basis of the original brand. Although after several years of the development, have not cultivated a well-known brand.

At present, the online shopping channel is the main channel for the sales of outrageous shoes. The main brands include Velos, Chuangsu, Aishushi, Haiyan, Xiaowhirlwind, Wheelys, etc., but the overall quality of the products is uneven and different.

It is understood that there is no relevant standard for riot shoes in China, which is also a factor restricting the development of the domestic industry. At present, most enterprises only refer to the industry standard HG/T3085-2011 Rubber and Plastic Cold Adhesive Shoes or Traveling Shoes for production. In these standards, there are no relevant requirements and specifications for the key part of the tramp shoes - the pulley and its safety, applicability, etc.

In fact, at the beginning of its birth, the Razor Shoes were single wheel manual models. At present, HEELYS' main products are still of this type, and their products are only used as sports function shoes similar to skates. At present, the domestic automatic two round model is a new product category, but there are no reminders and instructions for restricted use on its product logo.

The relevant personage of domestic enterprises told the reporter that since the upper of riot shoes is not very different from tourist shoes, they refer to such standards for production, but the product logo is not very standardized and comprehensive at present. As an emerging class of footwear products, domestic enterprises hope to issue relevant product standards to standardize and guide product production.

　　 Attention should be paid to the use safety

Rampage shoes can be used as both ordinary shoes and functional shoes. However, if they are used improperly, they are likely to cause serious falls and other safety problems. In recent years, due to improper wear and use, injury accidents have occurred from time to time.

Experts pointed out that the tramp shoes can exercise the wearer's ability to balance, coordinate and respond, train sports skills, and improve physical fitness and lower limb strength. At the same time, it is emphasized that while pursuing fashion, safety and health should be put first: Rage shoes are not designed according to the standard of sporting goods and cannot be used as fitness products; Children under 6 years old should not wear or wear less; Try to choose the style with firm ankle protection and thickened heel insole covering the foot and back upper; It cannot be used for a long time; Frequent heel pedaling is easy to damage the calcaneus; Do not choose products with a heel height of more than 3cm.

In addition, pay attention to the following items during use: wear helmet, knee pad, elbow pad and wrist guard before use, and check whether the wheels are firm; Use it on a flat ground, do not slide on a slope, uneven or slippery road, and avoid roads with many cars; Do not slide hand in hand; Do not wear automatic walking shoes to climb mountains, go up and down stairs and walk for a long time.

Manual operation is safer than automatic operation. At present, in terms of product security, the manual version is the first choice. The manual model can be easily disassembled at any time, and because there is no internal automatic spring off device, it is usually safe to use when walking. The pulley of the automatic product will pop up inadvertently, which is easy to cause accidental falls, so try to choose the manual version, especially when children wear it.

Double wheels are more stable than single wheels. Single wheel tramp shoes are simple and light, and require less space for sole grooves, which can ensure sole strength. However, compared with the two wheel style, the stability is poor. However, the stability and balance of the two wheeled tramp shoes are better than those of the single wheeled ones, which are suitable for younger children and beginners.

The key components shall be reliable. When selecting and purchasing the shoes of the outrage, we should not only judge the advantages and disadvantages by whether they are comfortable to wear, but also pay special attention to the shoes with guaranteed pulley quality. Pulley shall not only be able to withstand strong impact force, but also have special requirements such as resistance to frequent assembly and disassembly and wear, good elasticity and torque resistance of wheel body, cold resistance and high temperature resistance. In addition, the bearing accuracy of the pulley should be high. When selecting and purchasing, the pulley should be rotated without noise, and smooth rotation is preferred.

The sole is the "brake" device of the tramp shoes. It is a high-quality and reliable tramp shoe. The outsole is made of rubber composite material at the level of aircraft tires, and the midsole is made of PU material, which is soft and has good elasticity and is not easy to deform. The uppers should be made of cow leather or frosted real leather. At the same time, the uppers should have safety design such as ankle protection.

Experts remind that consumers should not only pay attention to the above product performance, but also try to buy in physical stores for comparison and trial wear.
