Putzbrunn, (6th March, 2026) – Combat boots are among the most critical equipment components for the military and police. They are permanently in use, carry the emergency services over long distances and under changing environmental conditions – and have a direct effect on performance, safety and fatigue. However, many professional models continue to be guided by established design principles, although modern material technologies today enable fundamentally new approaches to protection, comfort and moisture management. At the same time, the application profiles are changing: higher mobility, more frequent climate changes and longer wearing times significantly increase the functional requirements. A new concept study, by the GORE-TEX® brand, illustrates what is possible with EXTRAGUARD product technology in the design and construction of combat boots for military applications and tactical boots for police and government scenarios: the protection of a combat boot, with comfort of a trainer.

"The technical basis of the concept study is the GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD upper material. It is characterised by extremely low water absorption, fast re-drying and a consistently low weight, even in wet conditions – while at the same time being highly robust and resistant," explains David Bastias, Strategic Marketing for Footwear at the GORE-TEX® brand. "This material characteristic allows for unconventional design solutions that go beyond traditional boot construction methods – especially for uppers, protection zones and moisture management."

Development without existing design patterns

The study was created with a completely new design – comparable to a technical concept model. Instead of adapting classic leather constructions or typical seams, the boots were freshly designed around GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD technology in all components. Central to this new design is the use of fewer seams, which simplifies the boots construction and improves manufacturing efficiency.  

The study also relied on an unconventional approach in the sole area: The ETPU midsoles of both prototypes come from the performance shoe sector and combine low weight, durable cushioning behavior with high flexibility. A modular torsion shank also provides the necessary stability. The total weight of the prototypes is around 1.2 kilograms per pair which is in line with the range of modern lightweight combat boots - but now offering improved wearer comfort.

Military and Police Boot Prototypes Compared

The concept study involved two prototypes for different mission profiles. Whilst both prototypes are based on the same basic design architecture and benefit from GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD construction – making them permanently waterproof and robust - they differ in the functional design of the individual components.  

The combat boot for military applications, for example, is equipped with a "Ladder Grip" profile for a secure grip on ladders and metal structures – a frequently requested criterion in military tenders. This prototype was constructed using a Coyote coloured outer with a suede-like appearance.

The tactical boot for police and government scenarios, on the other hand, was constructed using a  smoother, functionally oriented outsole. Here the focus was on walking comfort and freedom of movement in urban use. This boot was made with a black smooth leather.

Impulses for future developments

"The concept study shows the potential that arises when operational boots are consistently developed based on function and material-related design logic. This opens up a freedom in the design process which was previously hard to achieve in classical approaches," Bastias summarizes. "It opens up new avenues for the development of innovative military and tactical footwear concepts that can take full advantage of the GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD upper."

·       BUILT WITH GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD PRODUCT TECHNOLOGY for EXTREME ROBUSTNESS AND LASTING LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMANCE.

·       STUDY DEMONSTRATES CONSTRUCTION ADVANTAGES FOR MORE SUSTAINABLE AND EFFICIENT PRODUCTION.

Putzbrunn, (6 November 2025) – The GORE-TEX® Brand, a global leader in high-performance waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric technologies has unveiled a concept study for the future of combat and safety footwear. The prototype highlights Gore’s commitment to ongoing research and development, exploring how innovative materials and construction methods can meet the demands of evolving mission profiles, harsher climates, and heightened comfort expectations. It exemplifies how performance, protection, and modern design can converge in a forward-thinking concept.

“Conventional tactical and combat boots made from leather are often heavy, uncomfortable and slow to dry when exposed to water or extreme climates. In contrast, our EXTRAGUARD Upper can help overcome limitations of traditional leather constructions, increasing comfort and protection,” says David Bastias, Strategic Marketing for Footwear at the GORE-TEX® Brand. “Adding the EXTRAGUARD Upper Technology offers extremely low water uptake, rapid re-dry, and consistent weight under wet conditions while also delivering the robustness and element protection defense operations demand. This balance of comfort and durability marks a significant step forward in combat boot design for the benefit of the soldier or police, and also the footwear manufacturer.”

Advanced design for multi-terrain performance

At the heart of this vision lies GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD Product Technology. It was developed precisely with these needs in mind. Supplied in roll form, EXTRAGUARD Upper can be cut into larger pattern pieces, reducing the number of seams and the need for taping and improving waterproof protection. This enables new construction methods and design freedom to reduce pressure points in abrasion-prone areas such as the heel and shaft while enhancing durability. Inspired by sneaker design, the concept offers improved wearing comfort and a modern look, crucial for soldiers and service members who expect both performance and comfort in their footwear.

Sustainability and resource efficiency

These construction advantages also pave the way for more sustainable and efficient production methods. the EXTRAGUARD Upper ensures consistent quality and reduces material waste, due to simplified construction and manufacturing. At the same time, it enables a variety of design options such as PU casting, printing, debossing, welding, and stitch-free applications. This provides footwear manufacturers with freedom in design and cost efficiencies.

"We are rethinking protection and performance for the modern soldier," says Rainer Geiger, Application Engineer at the GORE-TEX® Brand. “By combining maximum resilience with ultimate comfort and also embracing efficiency, we’re demonstrating the potential of GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD Product Technology and opening new pathways for brand partners to step into designing more innovative military and tactical footwear.”

With its EXTRAGUARD upper technology, the GORE-TEX® Brand now combines the advantages of conventional robust upper materials with those of lightweight textiles—thus paving the way for more protection and comfort while also requiring minimal maintenance. EXTRAGUARD upper technology is suitable for the toughest workplace environments and offers robust and comfortable protection even after months of use or continual wear in demanding and wet working conditions.

“Workers in the construction, demolition, railway, utility, agricultural, electric power and water supply sectors benefit from our innovative upper technology—all the sectors in which people carry out heavy and labour-intensive work and need robust, durably protective, lightweight and comfortable safety boots they can really trust,” explains Johannes Krieg, footwear product specialist for the GORE-TEX® Brand.

Lightweight and robust

When dry, the EXTRAGUARD upper material is 40 percent lighter than conventional materials. Yet, there is more to it than that. It hardly absorbs any moisture so that even when worn for hours in wet conditions boots stay light and dry considerably faster. After months of use and in wet conditions, when the initial water repellent finish of conventional safety boots would long have worn off, footwear incorporating the EXTRAGUARD upper material continues to offer enduring waterproof protection. This is made possible by a three-layer construction involving a highly abrasion resistant outer layer, a customisable functional layer to protect against impact and compression and the innovative inner layer of the construction that can be sealed with GORE® Seam Tape. Boots continue to be waterproof and comfortable after months of intense use – even in the toughest working and weather conditions. And should the situation arise, GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD safety boots are also resistant to chemicals.

Fitness for everyday use demonstrated in Deutsche Bahn wearer trial

How good is the new technology? In a wearer trail conducted by Deutsche Bahn 19 employees performing tree and vegetation inspections, supervising safety, and managing services tested the HAIX Airpower XR27 safety boots with GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD product technology for six months. The boots were worn four or five days a week for between six and nine hours a day – indoors and outdoors, in all weathers and on difficult, uneven surfaces. Nearly all the test participants expressed their satisfaction with the robustness and re-dry performance while over half of them also emphasised the light weight—especially when the boots were wet. The easy maintenance also made an impression.

Comfort without compromises

GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD boots need no breaking in and are comfortable right from the start. Additional reinforcements are unnecessary, further benefiting weight and breathability. Colours do not fade, not even after extended use, while the material barely shows any signs of wear. The boots also ensure that feet stay durably dry and comfortably warm. Water can neither penetrate from the outside nor can it seep between the layers of the material, preventing the feet from being robbed of warmth.

Focussing on sustainability

In addition to comfort and functionality, GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD products also set new standards in sustainability. The manufacturing process uses far fewer chemicals, consumes much less water, and emits significantly less CO₂ than the production of conventional upper materials. The material is supplied as a rolled good which considerably reduces material consumption. Furthermore, the durability of the boots adds to the conservation of resources and helps reduce waste.

Putzbrunn (February 23, 2024) - The innovative EXTRAGUARD upper material technology for police boots is lightweight, yet robust and noticeably more comfortable to wear: GORE-TEX EXTRAGUARD police boots remain lightweight even when emergency services have to stand out in the rain for several hours at a demonstration, for example. The innovative upper material is also flame-retardant. At Enforce Tac 2024 (February 26 to 28) in Nuremberg, Gore will be presenting police boots from leading manufacturers with GORE-TEX EXTRAGUARD upper technology for the first time.

Police forces need robust, waterproof, and breathable footwear that reliably protects them in all weather conditions and during dangerous operations or demonstrations. Until now, the robustness and waterproofness of the boots have had a significant influence on comfort - conventional police boots are rather heavy. As the product's service life increases, they can lose their waterproofing, meaning that conventional upper material can become soaked in the rain, making the boots even heavier. Another challenge is the re-drying of soaked boots: it can take many hours before they are completely dry again. However, if they have to be worn again in the meantime, this can draw heat away from the foot and create cold bridges.

Is light, stays light and dries quickly

With EXTRAGUARD, GORE-TEX Professional has developed a completely new, sustainable outer material technology: it combines the advantages of robust leather with those of lightweight, flexible, and breathable textile outer materials. The technology consists of three layers: a highly abrasion-resistant and flame-retardant outer protective layer, a functional layer that protects against mechanical impacts and an innovative inner construction layer that absorbs hardly any water. When dry, the EXTRAGUARD outer material is 40% lighter than dry leather of the same thickness. It absorbs less moisture from the outside and remains dry and light even after prolonged exposure to water or loss of the initial impregnation. Moisture penetrates from the outside only as far as the inner construction layer of the EXTRAGUARD upper material and is then kept out by it. This minimises heat loss and prevents cold bridges, keeping feet dry and comfortably warm even in wet or cold conditions. The robust boots dry quickly, are ready for use again a few hours later and are comfortable to wear. In combination with the internal, waterproof, and breathable GORE-TEX lining, this means an enormous increase in protection and comfort for the police.

First models available on the market this year

"Our EXTRAGUARD upper technology is a real game changer for the police. At Enforce Tac, we will be presenting models for various areas of application, from very lightweight tactical to flame-resistant riot styles. The response has been great: a German police unit will soon be putting a model through its paces in tough everyday police work. The first models are expected to be available on the market before the end of this year," explains Johannes Krieg, Product Specialist at Gore.

High performance and reduced environmental impact

Function and performance have top priority at Gore because the company makes no compromises when it comes to protection and comfort. At the same time, EXTRAGUARD technology also sets new standards in terms of sustainability: the use of water and chemicals is minimized during production, and CO2 emissions are comparatively low. And finally, the longevity of the products also contributes to a better eco-balance.

Facts & figures about GORE-TEX EXTRAGUARD technology

·        GORE-TEX EXTRAGUARD combat boots are permanently waterproof and breathable. They exceed the required values in accordance with EN ISO 20345/347 many times over.

·        The abrasion-resistant upper material is 40% lighter than leather when dry. As it absorbs virtually no moisture from the outside, the GORE-TEX boot remains dry and light even after prolonged exposure to water or loss of the initial waterproofing.

·        Heat and flame resistance in accordance with DIN EN 15090: If these boots are exposed to an open flame for 10 seconds in accordance with DIN EN ISO 15025-A/DIN EN 15090, there is no afterburning.

Putzbrunn (February 23, 2024) - Days of deployment in the rain, cold and hardly any time to recover: General infantry and special units brave the toughest conditions on deployment. Only the best equipment meets the requirements: EXTRAGUARD upper technology enables a completely new class of GORE-TEX combat boots and combines the advantages of a robust upper material with those of lightweight, flexible, and breathable textiles for the first time. The boots are not only permanently waterproof, breathable, and flame-retardant, but also permanently lightweight - even after a long time in wet, muddy terrain - and dry again quickly afterwards. The EXTRAGUARD technology is also characterised by a low CO₂ footprint. The response from manufacturers has been great: just a few months after the technology launch, well-known Gore partners are showing the first styles of GORE-TEX EXTRAGUARD combat boots. 

Gore presents the EXTRAGUARD outer material technology at booth 7A-537 at Enforce Tac in Nuremberg from February 26 to 28, 2024.

Conventional military boots are rather heavy and not very comfortable. In addition, the water-repellent impregnation wears off as the product's service life increases: The longer the boots are exposed to moisture, the heavier the upper material becomes. They often take many hours to dry out again. If the boots have to be worn again when wet, this can draw heat from the body - resulting in cold feet.

Is light, stays light and dries quickly

EXTRAGUARD upper material sets new standards for combat boots: when dry, it is 40 percent lighter than dry leather of the same thickness. As EXTRAGUARD upper material absorbs less moisture from the outside, it remains light even when wet for long periods and dries considerably faster. EXTRAGUARD upper material is also flame-retardant.

Combination of EXTRAGUARD upper material and GORE-TEX bootie

The EXTRAGUARD upper material unfolds its full benefits in combination with the GORE SEAM® tape and the GORE-TEX bootie. The EXTRAGUARD outer material itself consists of three layers: a highly abrasion-resistant and flame-retardant outer protective layer, a functional layer for physical protection and a construction inner layer with low water absorption. During the manufacture of GORE-TEX combat boots, it is sealed with GORE SEAM® tape so that no moisture can penetrate through the seams. The upper material is integrated into the boot with the internal, waterproof, and breathable GORE-TEX bootie. The GORE-TEX bootie construction ensures that the boot is permanently waterproof, even if the water-repellent waterproofing wears off or the upper material is damaged.

Comfortable fit, easy cleaning, robust protection

The GORE-TEX combat boots prove themselves from the first minute of use: they are comfortable right from the start, do not need to be broken in and retain their shape. Their robustness offers reliable protection against sharp objects, common chemicals, and moisture. Care is extremely easy, simply rinse with water. Specific care products are not necessary. Even after months of wear in a wet environment, they remain permanently waterproof and breathable and exceed the required values in accordance with EN ISO 20345/347 many times over.

The result of years of research

"The EXTRAGUARD upper technology is the result of years of research and close collaboration with defense forces around the world," explains Martin Pfister, Product Specialist Defense Footwear at GORE-TEX Professional. "Initial feedback from military field tests in various challenging terrains confirm our laboratory results in the real world. Just a few months after the technology launch in October 2023, we have already been able to acquire well-known footwear partners who are evaluating the first models. This rapid implementation is the result of market demand and underlines the fact that we have hit a nerve with this technology."
