GORE-TEX Upper

In the upper of the Hike Trainer Mid Walking Boot there is a GORE-TEX membrane which will act as a barrier between moisture and the inside of the boot. When the boot is exposed to rainfall or damp ground, the membrane leaps into action, working to seal out the moisture and preventing it from reaching the feet. This will remove the risk of having damp and cold socks all day, meaning that you will stay extremely comfortable. Even though the membrane seals out moisture, it will still allow air to penetrate through the membrane. As your feet begin to warm up, the air inside is able to escape out where it is then replaced by cooler air from outside. This will work over a long period of time to guarantee ventilation. The upper is extremely tough and durable in its construction. Strong overlays will reinforce the sides of the boot. Covering the toes, the material thickens, which will provide complete protection from bumps or knocks to the forefoot. Similarly, the rearfoot has and extremely solid shield surrounding it, holding the heel in a healthy upright position. For an extremely secured and personalised close fit, the shoes use climbing laces to guarantee a locked in feeling all the way up the feet. This will mean that you will always feel controlled on challenging terrain. The soft and padded tongue and ankle collar will remove the risk of irritation by rubbing and chafing, whilst the high rise of the boot will also act as a dirt and debris shield.
