Especially in colder weather, breathability is crucial for keeping your feet dry and warm. GORE-TEX® footwear allows your perspiration to evaporate out of the boot, while keeping the cold and moisture on the outside. This is because the pores of a GORE-TEX® membrane are approximately 1/20,000 the size of a water droplet, making it impenetrable to liquid water.

 
 

Patagonia Drifter, $165

A breathable, waterproof and shock-absorbing low top hiking sneaker finished with a recycled rubber Vibram outsole.

 
 

Ecco Turn GTX, $155

A comfortable chukka with a flexible, lightweight sole and a perforated leather lining, complete with a GORE-TEX® membrane.

 
 

Ecco Goran GTX, $150

An all-terrain waterproof sneaker with a grippy outdoor-inspired sole and a comfortable, cushioned interior.
