Light mountain climbing shoes (for example, caravan shoes) used for hiking are often soft-soled shoes made of cloth or leather, while for general mountain climbing, rubber-soled shoes with anti-slip patterns, such as those made by Vibram of Italy, are often used. Shoes for rock climbing are called cletter shoes, and felt soles are also used in Europe, but are not used in Japan because of the amount of rain, and soft-soled shoes with rubber soles have been devised that are narrow and have rubber on the sides for friction effect. …
