Gore-Tex - Guaranteed to keep you dry!
A Gore-Tex shoe or boot is completely waterproof as high as the Gore membrane reaches up the shaft. Thanks to the distinct liner material used with the membrane, you can clearly see how high up the membrane is. All Gore-Tex membrane seams are sealed with special tools, making for a 100% waterproof joint. If you’ve used wellingtons in the past, you can definitely feel the difference when moving to a pair of Gore-Tex shoes: unlike in rubber boots, moisture from your skin has a route out, through the Gore-Tex membrane. It’s wise to always wear technical socks with Gore-Tex shoes to ensure the best possible moisture transfer rate.
Gore-Tex has a considerable reputation, as the result of decades of development. Of all membrane materials in the Scandinavian Outdoor lineup, Gore-Tex products have proven to be the most reliable in intense use and harsh conditions. Regardless of manufacturer, products with genuine Gore-Tex tend to climb to the top of the heap. The Gore Corporation takes its part in ensuring high quality: you don’t simply buy Gore-Tex materials, your production process has to be certified by Gore Industries.
While Gore-Tex products are often marketed with pictures of water beading on the surface material, the membrane starts fighting against water only after the surface material, be it leather or fabric, has wetted out. The membrane itself is embedded between the surface and liner materials.
Renewing the surface material’s durable water resistance is easy with high quality care products.
Waterproof footwear is highly acclaimed in Nordic countries - what works in other parts of the world may be the wrong choice for wet and cold climates. Keeping your feet dry is a part of not only comfort, but actually safety as well when conditions are harsh enough.
