How Does the FARE-TEX Membrane Work in Footwear?

Rain, wet grass, snow or puddles. Just a few minutes outside and your feet can easily get soaked. That is exactly why the FARE-TEX membrane was created – a smart protective layer that keeps your feet dry and comfortable even in demanding conditions.

The membrane is discreet but essential. You do not see it, but it works with every step.

What is a membrane and where is it located in the shoe?

The FARE-TEX membrane is a thin functional layer only 0.2 mm thick, placed between the upper material and the lining of the shoe.

Its task is simple in principle but technologically demanding: to keep water from entering the shoe while allowing moisture to escape.

Thanks to microscopic pores, water from the outside cannot pass through, while water vapour (sweat) can leave the shoe.
