Several weeks ago I went to an outdoor concert in Toronto. Here’s a use case that falls outside the usual, and it illustrates both the waterproof nature of the GORE-TEX technology, and its ability to dry quickly.

their top Brad Moon When Testing Doesn’t Go According to Plan. Wading through water was no problem in these waterproof shoes, so long as the water didn't rise over. You can see in the photo below that the water literally ran off the shoes and where they were submerged, the water was kept completely at bay. I couldn’t avoid walking through the water, but my feet remained completely dry. We slightly miscalculated our timing when walking across and ran into the start of high tide, when ocean water started rising across a low section. It was on the Causeway where the waterproof GORE-TEX proved its effectiveness. Their grippy soles and stability also proved them to be very capable when crossing the mile-long Provincetown Causeway with its massive, ocean-slicked boulders. In addition to urban hiking, I wore the Pegasus 3s on several forest trails. So you get the benefit of GORE-TEX (such as being waterproof, breathable to allow sweat to evaporate and fast drying) in a fully integrated package. This approach sees a GORE-TEX membrane bonded to the shoe uppers instead of the traditional method of being added later in construction as a separate layer.

That performance can be chalked up to the fact that these shoes are made using GORE-TEX Invisible Fit Footwear technology. Made using GORE-TEX Invisible Fit Footwear technology GORE-TEX
