Care of Gore-Tex Boots

We recommend that you read our shoe 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.

Features

Because we live in the 2000s, the features & materials have all sorts of flashy names ending with ® and ™. However, here's a down-to-earth rundown of the boot. First the new features of the Forces 2:

  • Lamella features on tread lugs for even better grip
  • Models with EN suffix have nail-protected soles (EN ISO 20344:2011)
  • Instep reinforcement for rope descents
  • More sizes available

The good ol' features are still there:

  • Non-marking, stiff sole with a very intricate cushion midsole and rough tread pattern.
  • Upper made of nubuck leather and Cordura.
  • Inner lined with breathable fabric.
  • Between the layers sits the Gore-Tex membrane.
  • Cushioned, porous insole.
  • Traditional lacing with lace locks in the middle. The upper eyelets are made of metal.
  • Weight for one shoe about 600-700 grams, depending on the size.
