Care of Gore-Tex Boots

We recommend that you read ourshoe and bootcare article. You should not use the regular shoe polish for gore-tex boots and shoes, instead use the stuff specifically designed for them. Regular grease/polish can block the holes in the membrane after which they won't breathe anymore.
