THE PILL TECHNOLOGY BY SILV I A GA L L I A NI

GORE-TEX INVISIBLE FIT The Gore-Tex Invisible Fit technology, since 2017, offers not only full protection in case of adverse weather conditions, but also a more flexible fit, similar to the one given by running shoes without a protective membrane.

At first glance, the shoes with Gore-Tex Invisible Fit Technology may indeed seem like normal running shoes, but this innovative Gore technology makes them waterproof over time thanks to pores that are much smaller than drops of water, but larger than moisture vapour in order to keep the foot dry and breathable on the asphalt. Waterproof, windproof and ultra-breathable, this innovative membrane is integrated without any visible markings into a wide range of sports shoes. Welded directly into the shoe, the construction is lighter and reduced the weight of the Gore-Tex material by 18% (compared to traditional bootie construction), and is also designed to be invisible. Laminating the membrane directly on the upper material eliminates

folds and wrinkles in order to reduce pressure points and ensure a perfect fit of the forefoot. The technology also allows for a more comfortable tongue and a wider tip ensuring less irritation and more support during longer runs for an optimal fit. Thanks to its proven waterproofness, your feet will stay dry and protected even in the event of summer showers or icy winter puddles. The moisture vapour produced by sweat escapes easily, maintaining the balance of the microclimate unchanged. In addition, the technology ensures a fast drying which makes the shoes fresher and allows them to be reused faster.
