Rain, snow, wind and cold won’t even harm children's feet – thanks to the superfit shoe collections that feature GORE-TEX®. superfit children's shoes with the functional membrane impress with their durable waterproof and windproof properties as well as optimal breathability.
Children love puddles, playing in the rain, going on adventures along streams or lakes and trudging enthusiastically through the deepest snow. It's clear that their footwear must be able to withstand all these challenges and keep their feet warm and dry at the same time. The answer: GORE-TEX®.
At the heart of all GORE-TEX® materials is an extremely thin, durably waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane. It contains over 1.4 billion micropores per square centimetre.
These microscopic pores are about 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water. This makes the GORE-TEX® membrane absolutely waterproof. But because the pores are 700 times larger than a water vapour molecule, they allow perspiration to escape unhindered.
Children's feet have just as many sweat glands as adults' feet, but on a much smaller area of skin. They also move around a lot more than adults – often near puddles, streams or in the rain.
To ensure that children's feet stay dry in their shoes, the GORE-TEX® membrane in combination with the materials in superfit children's shoes ensures a perfect overall climate for the foot.
The right choice of socks is crucial for a pleasant climate in a GORE-TEX® shoe. Either wool socks or socks with at least 30% mixed material. Why? Cotton binds moisture, while synthetic fibres or synthetics allow moisture pass through to the outside.
