All around breathability

Extremely breathable

Durably waterproof

A truly innovative system that allows feet to breathe in every direction - even through the sole - making it the most breathable GORE-TEX footwear technology. Moisture and heat easily escapes faster, so your feet stay comfortably drier.

Heat is channeled away from the foot which means less overheating, even when the conditions get warmer and milder. No matter if you stay outside or even indoors, your feet remain comfortably drier.

The GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ promise means your feet—and your socks—stay dry from water entering from outside, no matter if you hike through a stream, or face an unexpected rain storm.

All around extreme breathability. Durably waterproof. Comfort and protection for your outdoor adventures.

GORE-TEX SURROUND® footwear offers breathability all around the foot and is durable waterproof - guaranteed. The truly unique construction channels heat and moisture away from your feet in every direction—even through the sole. Being the most breathable GORE-TEX footwear technology, you get the best possible balance of comfort and protection - even in mild and warmer conditions. Your feet - and your socks - will stay comfortably drier all day long.

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. The GORE-TEX membrane surrounds your foot. So while sweat vapor molecules can escape, water can’t get in.

Construction with side ventilation outlets

This construction allows moisture and heat to escape from below the foot through the GORE-TEX material into the open structure of a spacer and then out of the shoe through the side ventilation outlets.

ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGY

GORE-TEX FOOTWEAR WITH STRETCH TECHNOLOGY

Some GORE-TEX Footwear features a unique construction that combines stretch laminates, lining textiles, and connection seams. This ensures your foot stays protected from the weather, while avoiding wrinkles or folds in the instep area. The technology also offers durable stretch and recovery, allowing your footwear to take you further.
