Scarpa Moraine Plus GORE-TEX Walking Shoes The extremely versatile Scarpa Moraine Plus GORE-TEX Walking Shoes are perfect for a range of different environments from urban to rural. A GORE-TEX membrane surrounding the upper will provide durable waterproof protection. GORE-TEX Upper Within the upper, and completely surrounding it out there is a breathable membrane provided by GORE-TEX. When exposed to moisture, the surface of the shoe will block the entry of the water, which will keep your feet feeling comfortable and dry. For breathability, the membrane will allow hot air from within the shoe to exit through the membrane, which will allow a constant flow of energy in and out of the shoe. This will further increase comfort as your feet will remain at a comfortable temperature. A reinforced toe rand is shaped around the forefoot to protect it from any shocks and impacts, absorbing it to prevent the full force going through your foot. In addition to this, the heel has a firm counter surrounding it, which will keep it held in a firm and upright position, maintaining foot health. The long lacing makes it easy to find a secure and comfortable fit, perfect for tightening to secure when climbing and relaxing slightly when on flatter ground. A padded tongue and ankle collar will reduce the risk of irritation by rubbing and chafing and it will also improve comfort within the shoe. In addition to this, the collar uses Autofit, a developed technology by Scarpa that ensures maximum adaptability and comfort of the upper, reducing the impact stress that rests on the Achilles and malleous area.
