Waterproof Shoes & Boots | Clarks
Published on:
With technology that keeps feet dry and comfortable, our waterproof footwear is designed to withstand everything the elements can throw at you.
What makes the best waterproof shoes?
The most comfortable waterproof shoes are both waterproof and breathable, allowing air to escape while preventing water droplets from getting in. That might sound like a paradox, but it’s possible! The best waterproof shoes are made with clever technologies that give you the best of both worlds.
All Clarks waterproof walking shoes and boots feature one of our special waterproof technologies, designed to protect your feet whether you’re stuck in a torrential countryside downpour or a light shower in the city. But these technologies aren’t exclusive to our walking boots – you’ll also find them in some of our sports shoes, smart boots, and even certain styles of our iconic Wallabee.
What is GORE-TEX®?
GORE-TEX® is a specially developed membrane that’s waterproof, windproof and breathable. Pores allow air to escape, but they’re small enough that water droplets can’t get in.
Is GORE-TEX® 100% waterproof?
All of our GORE-TEX® products are guaranteed to keep your feet completely dry and comfortable, no matter the weather.
How to maintain GORE-TEX® shoes
To make sure your GORE-TEX® shoes are still effective at keeping feet dry and comfortable, it’s important to look after them. Mud, water and dirt can lead to excess wear and tear, so follow our advice to keep your GORE-TEX® shoes in tip-top condition.
-
Using lukewarm water, remove dirt and mud with a cloth or brush.
-
To dry them, lay them upside down with some newspaper inside. Don’t expose your GORE-TEX® shoes to direct heat.
-
Avoid using products that contain wax, grease or silicon.
-
The GORE-TEX® membrane itself is not accessible, and so it doesn’t need care.
