The OutDry® Technology

OutDry® new technology truly revolutionizes the current standard membrane construction technique in waterproof footwear.

OutDry® is not just “another membrane in the market”: The OutDry® waterproof, breathable membrane is applied directly to footwear uppers, eliminating the need for ‘bootie’ construction.

In fact, the OutDry® new patented lamination process allows the membrane to perfectly fit and seal the upper, eliminating all possible water entry points to really keep water out of your shoes.

OutDry® greatly enhances the comfort and performance of footwear, especially if compared with the standard waterproof lining ‘bootie’ system.

Until now, all waterproof shoes include a ‘bootie’ system: a sock-shaped lining made of a waterproof and breathable membrane, and separated from the upper layer, leaving an empty space. By this decades-old system, in rainy or snowy conditions, although not reaching the foot, water penetrates and remains in between the ‘bootie’ and the upper. The soaked shoe becomes much heavier, and the membrane breathability is extremely reduced due to the layer of water stagnating in the empty space between the ‘bootie’ and the upper.

Conversely, with OutDry® technology, the membrane is steadily bonded to the upper inner side and there is no space in between. Water remains out of the shoe, and the breathability is constantly maintained.
