All around system with extremely breathable uppers and side-sole openings/ventilation (or sole openings) to allow a 360° moisture and heat transport - even thru the sole.

Construction with sole opening

The breathability of the sole of the shoe is guaranteed by openings in the tread sole. Water vapor from sweat is directed towards these openings. But if you step in a puddle? You’re still protected. The GORE-TEX membrane surrounds your foot. So while sweat vapor molecules can escape, water can’t get in.

Construction with side sole openings

This construction features openings positioned at the side of the sole. The breathability of the sole is guaranteed by a grid that directs water vapor from sweat via openings to both sides of the shoe. But if you step in a puddle? You’re still protected.
