The Dartwood Gore-Tex shoes combine maximum riding and walking comfort with high levels of certified protection. The Dartwood Gore-Tex shoes are both waterproof and breathable, owing to the Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane. The upper is made of full-grain leather and safety is guaranteed by reinforcements on the toe and heel and by ankle protection inserts in D3O, a material that has the ability to become rigid in the event of a collision, thus protecting the foot only when necessary.
