With waterproof shoes for women, not only are there more fashionable options, but highly effective work wear is also in style; with manufacturers making the most water tight, well designed, and safety-minded work boots on the market today. One key aspect is in the once proprietary Gore-Tex-style breathable membrane which fits between the leather and lining of the shoe and also between the outsole and insole.
Since the expiration of their patent, Gore-Tex waterproofing technology has once again improved the consumer’s market. The revolutionary characteristics of Gore-Tex, which permit a fabric to repel water while simultaneously allowing the skin to breathe, are now available to many manufacturers instead of a limited few, making its unprecedented protection highly economical, as well.
At nine billion pores per square inch, with each pore being 1/20,000 the size of a water droplet, water cannot get in through the membrane, but water vapor, like perspiration, can easily escape; providing comfort for work boots in a challenging, water-logged, environment. With a special Gore-Tex tape, the seams of the membrane “bootie” are secured and ensure the water-tight properties of the boot.
With this specialized waterproof technology, the exterior of the leather boot can incorporate a more fashionable appearance while maintaining highly sophisticated safety features; such as a safety toe* and slip-resistant soles built for industrial use; as well as meeting electrical hazard specifications.
