As any good long-term shoemaker will tell you, every human foot is somewhat unique in many ways, one of which is its microclimate. Temperatures change at different rates in various environments and temperatures. However, when it comes down to it, absolutely everyone wants and eventually expects the same thing from shoes – protection, warmth, and dryness. But we can assure you in one breath – the Gore-Tex® Surround™ Side Ventilation Outlets technology is one of the best things you can get for this. Their climate control is simply incredible, and they also guarantee water resistance. The Gore-Tex® Surround™ series technology continuously wicks away waste heat and moisture from your feet in every direction. Whether you're in the forest, at work, or in your favorite pub, with the Gore-Tex® Surround™ Side Ventilation Outlets technology, you will always provide your feet with the very best, which they surely deserve for a long time now…
There are certain physical activities where the Gore-Tex® Surround™ Side Ventilation Outlets technology will definitely not let you down.
The construction with side openings above the shoe sole is, of course, a patented design and is perfect for anyone who actively (and even regularly) engages in demanding activities like walking in the mountains or other non-natural "civilized" surfaces. In all these cases, the Gore-Tex® Surround™ Side Ventilation Outlets technology allows the moisture and heat that forms in the shoes to escape even downward through the Gore-Tex® laminate technology into the spacer insert, and then finally passes through the openings on the side of the shoe above the sole.
