Waterproof, Breathable Work Boots

September 11, 2008
W.L. Gore & Associates uses science-based research and testing to create the GORE-TEX waterproof, breathable lining that goes into numerous brands of work boots including Danner, Red Wing, Rocky and Wolverine Durashocks.



Feet are among the most abused, neglected and sweaty body parts. Each foot perspires roughly 1/4 cup of moisture a day while at rest and up to one full cup during activity. Soggy, hot feet are an unnecessary distraction on the roofing jobsite. W.L. Gore & Associates uses science-based research and testing to create the GORE-TEX waterproof, breathable lining that goes into numerous brands of work boots including Danner, Red Wing, Rocky and Wolverine Durashocks (in photo). Manufacturers put power tools through rigorous tests to ensure the best possible performance. W.L. Gore applies the same standards to its GORE-TEX work boots.

For more information about GORE-TEX fabric lining, call 800-GORE-TEX or visit www.gore-tex.com.
