GoreTex® Footwear
PROTECTION AND COMFORT
Water does not penetrate, while sweat escapes.
The GORE-TEX® membrane consists of microscopic pores that are 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor.
This unique combination offers long-lasting water proofing and high breathability.
GORE-TEX® footwear keeps feet dry and comfortable.

WITHOUT COMPROMISE
More than the sum of the parts. All footwear elements (leathers, fabrics, laces, foams, threads) and the entire shoe construction aim for maximum performance in end use and are subjected to uncompromising quality control during all stages of product development and production.
GORE-TEX® footwear far exceeds the requirements of EN ISO 20345/347 for water proof, breathability and durability.

WATER PROOF
DURABLE OVER TIME
GORE-TEX® footwear must withstand up to 300,000 bending movements (80 hours) in water at ankle height, without a single drop of water penetrating the inside of the shoe. EN ISO 20344 requires only 4,800 bending movements (80 minutes), and 3 cm2 of water penetration is allowed.
