The wetness not only makes your feet cold but also leads to dragging between your foot and the shoe, resulting in blisters. Plus, wet shoes become much heavier as a result of the wetness, and it can take several days before they\u2019re completely dry.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the negative effects water can have on our performance, it is absolutely imperative for outdoor athletes to have footwear that keeps their feet dry in all conditions. When it\u2019s wet and muddy, your best option is to go with waterproof <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/p\/gore-tex\/category--outdoor-shoes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shoes with a GORE-TEX\u00ae membrane<\/a><\/strong>.

The microporous structure of the GORE-TEX\u00ae layer prevents any water getting into the shoe\u2019s interior. The pores are so small that water can\u2019t get in from the outside, but large enough for water vapour to escape through them. On a single square centimetre of the waterproof membrane, there are about 1.4 billion of these tiny pores &#8211; making it possible for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/sweat-rate-calculator\/\">sweat<\/a> in the form of water vapour to escape.<\/p>\n<p>To guarantee optimal performance, GORE has continued to adapt their technology to engineer <strong>shoes with GORE-TEX\u00ae membranes<\/strong> that are perfectly tailored to the needs of athletes. You\u2019ll find their waterproof membranes in everything from ankle-high <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/walking-boots\/\">walking boots<\/a> and insulated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/winter-boots\/\">winter boots<\/a> to lightweight running and multisport shoes.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Waterproof shoes with GORE-TEX\u00ae Extended Comfort<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3114\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3114\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gore-Tex-Shoes-gore-extended-comfort.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3114 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gore-Tex-Shoes-gore-extended-comfort-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"An illustration of the Gore-Tex Extended Techology.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3114\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GORE-TEX\u00ae Extended technology was specifically designed for higher activity levels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>GORE-TEX\u00ae Extended Comfort was designed to have <strong>optimised breathability<\/strong>. The shoes are usually <strong>low-cut<\/strong> and made of mesh and often leather (or artificial leather). As a result of the <strong>high vapour permeability<\/strong> of the membrane and upper materials, the shoes move moisture away from the skin very efficiently in moderate to high temperatures, making them excellent for <strong>higher activity levels<\/strong>. The waterproof GORE-TEX\u00ae Extended Comfort membrane is thus often used in running, trail running and other athletic shoes. Walking shoes, casual footwear and even golf shoes are equipped with GORE-TEX\u00ae Extended Comfort as well.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Walking shoes with GORE-TEX\u00ae Performance Comfort<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3116\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3116\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gore-Tex-Shoes-gore-performance-comfort.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3116\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gore-Tex-Shoes-gore-performance-comfort-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"An illustration of the Gore-Tex Performance Technology.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3116\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GORE-TEX\u00ae Performance Technology is suitable for a variety of outdoor activities.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This GORE-TEX\u00ae technology guarantees durable waterproof protection and optimised climate comfort in walking, trekking, approach and outdoor footwear. Even during <strong>physically demanding activities<\/strong> and in <strong>continuously wet conditions<\/strong>, the (usually) <strong>ankle-high boots<\/strong> with the waterproof membrane will keep your feet dry. Deeper puddles, old snow and wet grass are no problem for GORE-TEX\u00ae Performance Comfort. The upper, which is usually made of leather, artificial leather or synthetics, does get wet, but the water can\u2019t penetrate into the shoe. Plus, the breathability of the shoe has been optimised for physical activities like hiking and trekking.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The waterproof membrane with extra insulation: GORE-TEX\u00ae Insulated Comfort shoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3115\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3115\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gore-Tex-Shoes-gore-insulated-comfort.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3115\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gore-Tex-Shoes-gore-insulated-comfort-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"An illustration of the Gore-Tex Insulated Technology.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GORE-TEX\u00ae Insulated Comfort shoes are perfect for use in cold weather conditions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As with the walking and trekking boots engineered with GORE-TEX\u00ae Performance Comfort, outdoor shoes with GORE-TEX\u00ae Insulated Comfort are perfect for <strong>active hikers and hill walkers<\/strong>. In addition to the reliable <strong>waterproof protection<\/strong> and <strong>high breathability<\/strong>, GORE-TEX\u00ae Insulated Comfort has an <strong>extra insulated layer<\/strong>. This makes them an excellent option for <strong>cold weather conditions<\/strong> in winter, in the mountains and in colder regions. Whether you\u2019re mountaineering, hill walking in the winter or just looking for a warm, waterproof winter boot, GORE-TEX\u00ae Insulated Comfort will serve you well by keeping your feet warm and dry.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Walking boots and casual shoes with GORE-TEX\u00ae Surround<\/strong><strong>\u00ae<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In order to improve the breathability of shoes worn during physically demanding activities and in moderate to high temperatures, GORE developed the GORE-TEX\u00ae SURROUND\u00ae product technology. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/p\/gore-tex-surround\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GORE-TEX\u00ae SURROUND\u00ae<\/a> is as waterproof as the other GORE-TEX\u00ae shoes. The difference lies in the <strong>innovative construction of the sole<\/strong>. The sole has special <strong>ventilation outlets on the side<\/strong> to allow for better <strong>water vapour permeability<\/strong>. These openings accelerate sweat removal even in high temperatures and during high-intensity activities &#8211; meaning that they provide an optimal microclimate and high level of comfort. GORE-TEX\u00ae SURROUND\u00ae is used in outdoor, sport and casual shoes. The construction of GORE-TEX\u00ae SURROUND\u00ae is visible from the outside and embedded in the shoe\u2019s respective design.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Open sole, side openings or side ventilation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>GORE-TEX\u00ae SURROUND\u00ae for casual footwear is available with an open sole. In the <strong>bottom of sole <\/strong>are openings that allow excess heat and moisture to escape. Despite these openings, a GORE-TEX\u00ae laminate surrounds the foot to prevent water penetrating from the outside. To protect the laminate and your feet from stones or sharp objects, a special protective layer made of extremely strong fleece is used.<\/p>\n<p>Casual shoes with GORE-TEX\u00ae SURROUND\u00ae are also available with <strong>side openings<\/strong>\u00a0(ventilation grids) in the sole. Heat and moisture are conducted both via the upper and downward through the laminate into the ventilation grid where they can escape through the side openings. The GORE-TEX\u00ae SURROUND\u00ae construction ensures that your feet stay cool, balanced and comfortable even in higher temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>GORE does not use ventilation openings in the side or bottom of the sole in walking boots. The <strong>side openings are positioned somewhat higher<\/strong>. The open construction of the shoes allows moisture and heat to escape from below through the laminate into a spacer. From there, moisture and heat are conducted out of the shoe through side ventilation outlets. This innovative construction makes it possible to offer walking and outdoor footwear that not only have tough, high-traction outsoles but also excellent ventilation, breathability and 100% waterproof protection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><a class=\"a-button a-button--green block\" title=\"Buy Gore-TEX\u00ae Shoes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/p\/gore-tex\/category--outdoor-shoes\/\">Find Gore-TEX\u00ae shoes here&gt;&gt; <\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having wet shoes is one of the most unpleasant things we have to deal with in the great outdoors.
