GORE-TEX

The GORE-TEX membrane is truly waterproof and breathable, helping keep your feet dry and comfortable throughout the working day, even in wet and demanding working conditions.

Dry feet - Guaranteed! 

How the GORE-TEX membrane works

The GORE-TEX membrane contains billions of microscopic pores that are smaller than water droplets but larger than water vapor. This creates a waterproof barrier that keeps water out while allowing moisture from inside the shoe to escape.

A complete waterproof construction

In JALAS safety shoes with GORE-TEX, the membrane surrounds the foot and works together with the upper material, protective knit and inner lining. Together, these layers form a complete construction designed to provide waterproof protection.

Waterproof protection built to last

A waterproof safety shoe needs to keep water out not only when it is new, but throughout demanding use. The membrane, taped seams and complete shoe construction all need to work together to provide lasting waterproof protection.

Why the shoes keep the water out

300,000 steps to test waterproof performance

GORE-TEX shoes undergo several rigorous tests, including a wet flex test of at least 300,000 steps and a centrifuge test lasting at least 60 minutes. In the article, Bohuslav Bušik, Product Manager at JALAS, explains the difference between waterproof and water-repellent.
