This shows how even the producer of their own product, don't have common sense. She says you should wash them in soap water, and then let them dry. If you do that you will ruin your shoe, you need to rinse them in clean normal water without soap, so their is no soap left. Also they don't tell WHAT soap to use, as some soaps will be to acidic and ruin your shoe (also). It's better to use no soap than to use a soap youre not sure about. It needs to be very gentle neutral pH soap. They just showed you two ways to ruin your shoe, but hey, they sell more shoes, if it's broken after 2 years than 10 years. My Salomon pair is going 11 years now.
I have a pair of old goretex military boot,i dry cleaned it earlier and the water is going through the membrane after step-in water for couple seconds, But i don't see any holes or damages. Can i "Reactivate"them? If so, how. I really need it to work again, it still looks good.
If water saturates the outer fabric of the boot but does not enter inside (i.e. your socks remain dry), you could reapply a DWR treatment as detailed here: bit.ly/40dUbBQ If water penetrates the inside, the boot might either be damaged or have reached the end of its useful life. If you're still active in the military we recommend bringing this to your superior's attention so that they can take the necessary steps to assist you with this.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Elian Roland Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
In simple terms, while DWR treatments on garments use heat as a driving force in order to activate the DWR, treatments on footwear use evaporation as a driving force. Therefore, heat needs to be applied to garments in order to (re-)activate their DWR properties but not to footwear. For further details kindly contact the manufacturer of the DWR product you are using. For general information on DWR treatments, please click here: www.gore-tex.com/support/care/dwr
01:10 What detergent is that? A liquid washing machine detergent? Can we use regular liquid dish soap as well? I need to get your assistance to properly wash my shoes!
Recently (Aug 2023) I've bought a pair of boots Salomon Quest GtX 4D in Costa Rica, we have tropical weather 🌧️ 🌞 🌡️. I use liquid hands soap for cleaning but I don't have Gore-Tex liquid for reapply protection. Can I use water repellent for leather/ sintetic shoes in spray ? Thanks and pura vida ✌🏽😎!
It's great that you are taking such good care of your GORE-TEX shoes and that you clean them regularly. With regard to your question, please check either with the manufacturer of the spray that you would like to use if it is suitable for shoes with membrane technology or ask Salomon as the manufacturer of the shoes which product they recommend to re-apply a durable water repellent (DWR).
I have some goretex boots. Over the weekend they got completely soaked. I have since cleaned them with warm water, but some has got through to the inside of the shoe. Will they be water proof again once dry?
Hi Charlie, if the water ran in through the shaft, the shoes will be waterproof again once dry. If the water got in through the outer layer of the shoe, there might be a problem with the membrane. In such a case, please contact our Consumer Service so that our colleagues can assist you with this under our GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ promise: www.gore-tex.com/support/contact-us
@@GORETEXBrand Hey! I believe the reason the shoes got wet, was through the hole where I put my feet. They were left out for bit. The water didnt get through the shoe while I had them on, only when I had stupidly left them outside in the drizzle.
It is true that salt water, as well as excessive exposure to dirt, can affect the laminate and reduce or shorten the useful life of the product. Specifically regarding the use of GORE-TEX products in salt water environments, we have developed the GORE-TEX PRO FABRIC WITH AN OCEAN TECHNOLOGY® MEMBRANE. The Ocean Technology® membrane is used in conjunction with GORE-TEX PRO technology exclusively in Musto sailing products; this membrane is specially designed to withstand the adverse effects of salt water. This is due to the fact that salt can cause abrasions on GORE-TEX outer fabric and membrane and therefore an extra-resistant laminate suitable for the marine environment is needed since exposure to salt water is not a recommended end use for standard GORE-TEX products. GORE-TEX PRO products with Ocean Technology® are specifically designed for use in salt water and it is recommended to rinse the product with fresh water after each use to remove any trace of salt from the face fabric as salt tends to attract moisture; however, the GORE-TEX membrane will still breathe even though the face fabric is completely saturated (even underwater). For more information regarding the technology used in the specific product of your interest and how to best care for the product and to select which product is best adapted for use in either salt or swamp water, we can recommend contacting the individual manufacturer for additional product specific information and care instructions to prevent the exposure to salt or swamp water to negatively affect your GORE-TEX product.

I have the Air Jordan 1 Gore-Tex and I can’t remove the mud off, it was all stained. I've cleaned and cleaned again and it won't come off. Does anyone know what I can do?
If you haven't been successful following the care instructions in this video we would recommend getting in touch with Nike directly for support in this case.
How to apply a DWR product can differ between individual products and brands. We would recommend following the instructions on the packaging or getting in touch with the product's manufacturer.
We recommend using lukewarm water as it is more effective in removing dirt. Keeping the pores of the GORE-TEX membrane inside the shoe clean is actually very important in order to enhance its breathability.
You can certainly follow the steps in this video with your Nike Air Jordan 1 GORE-TEX shoes. If you're having trouble restoring the original white color we would recommend reaching out to Nike directly for specific advice in this case.
@@somerandomguy4558 We recommend using liquid detergent as powder detergent might inhibit the shoe's breathability. For detailed care instructions, click here: www.gore-tex.com/support/care/footwear 👈
No store-bought care product can harm the GORE-TEX membrane. However, fat or oily products such as greasy creams, leather oils or silicone-based products hinder the breathability of the whole shoe. Any water-based product will clean the upper while not impairing the breathability. Please find our care instructions here: www.gore-tex.com/support/care/footwear
For care instructions for specific products, such as the Adidas EQT Support 93/17 GORE-TEX shoe, we would recommend contacting the manufacturing brand directly. Get in touch with our friends at Adidas right here: bit.ly/3DeMZKb

0:27 to 0:30 is what makes life unbearable. Her voice. How she talks. The music. The phrase. The scene. This is what a planet ruled by women would be like. Those 3 seconds over and over and over.
You re masculin but so sensitive... I it makes me doubt that. I am a man and love the voice of a lady. I have no problem with her almost orgasmic-tone.
Why is this made to seem so heavenly? She's just washing shoes. How much money was wasted on the cinematic production? Money that could have gone to disadvantaged children in need.
