Not sure which running shoe to choose?
In a few simple steps we help you to choose the ideal running shoe for you
Go to the Shoe FinderOn many occasions we go out to run with our trail running shoes and, in the middle of training, it has started to rain suddenly and forces us to return because the terrain has become impracticable and / or dangerous. Shoes with a Gore-Tex membrane, in addition to keeping our feet dry, also provide extra protection.
All the key features of Gore-Tex® trail running shoes
Trail running shoes with Gore-Tex membrane are a guarantee when it comes to running in adverse conditions or on wet or muddy terrain, all of them have some common features, of which we highlight the following:
- Waterproof and breathability: the waterproof membrane is designed to keep our feet dry in the rain or while running on wet/damp terrain, allowing a good evacuation of sweat, thus reducing the accumulation of moisture inside.
- Robustness of the shoe: these are shoes that have a higher weight because they have greater protection against external elements and additional reinforcements to protect our feet.
- Protection against the elements: in addition to offering a barrier against water, mud, it also does so against wind or small external elements, making them more than recommended for those training sessions and/or races in winter or variable climates.
- Greater weight: with almost total certainty, the Gore-Tex versions tend to be somewhat heavier shoes than the versions without membrane, which can influence us when running with them, especially in long distances.
