Ideal for children's shoes: GORE-TEX technology

GORE-TEX® products together with high-quality superfit materials ensure a perfect climate for the foot in the shoe. The GORE-TEX membrane ensures permanent waterproofness and windproofing with optimal breathability and is therefore ideal for children's shoes.

Care tips for superfit GORE-TEX shoes

The GORE-TEX® membrane incorporated into the lining is windproof and waterproof, but permeable to water vapour and therefore breathable. With shoes that feature GORE-TEX®, it’s important not to restrict their functionality through the use of care products. Therefore, you should avoid products with a high content of grease or oil, as these hinder the breathability of the upper material.

Care tips for waterproof superfit GORE-TEX kids’ shoes

Removing dirt

Remove loose dirt and dust from the shoes when they are dry.


Wipe the shoes

Use a soft cloth (for leather) or sponge (for textiles) with lukewarm water to clean the shoes. If necessary, use a mild cleaning agent such as Collonil MaxX or Organic Care. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents, as they can damage the GORE-TEX® membrane.


Cleaning the inner shoe

If possible, insoles should be removed and cleaned separately by hand. This prevents odors and keeps shoes fresh - ideal for active children's feet.

Important: Please do not wash shoes with GORE-TEX® in the washing machine, as this can destroy the membrane, which consists of very small pores. The shoe would then no longer be waterproof.

Should superfit GORE-TEX shoes be waterproofed or not?

New superfit GORE-TEX® shoes leave our factory with a water-repellent finish. So you don’t need to impregnate a new shoe.


If your child wears the shoe, you might think that the functionality is diminishing. Of course, you can then use a waterproofing spray. Read about how to properly waterproof GORE-TEX® shoes.
