Pedroc PTX Hiking Shoe - Women's

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a special coating applied to the fabric of hiking shoes that makes them water-resistant. This means that when it rains or you encounter wet conditions, water will bead up and roll off the shoe instead of soaking in. This helps keep your feet dry and comfortable, allowing you to focus on your hike without worrying about wet socks.

The Powertex Membrane is a waterproof and breathable layer that allows moisture from your feet, like sweat, to escape while preventing water from entering the shoe. This technology keeps your feet dry and comfortable during strenuous activities, ensuring that you can hike longer without discomfort from trapped moisture.

The MFF+ footbed features interchangeable layers that allow you to customize the fit of your hiking shoes. This means you can adjust the footbed to better suit your foot shape and personal comfort preferences. By using the MFF+ system, you can enhance support and cushioning, making your hiking experience more enjoyable.

The Pomoca Outsole is designed specifically for outdoor footwear, providing excellent grip and traction on various terrains, including mud, rocks, and trails. This high-quality outsole helps prevent slips and falls, giving you confidence as you navigate challenging landscapes. Choosing shoes with a Pomoca Outsole means you can tackle your hikes with greater stability and safety.

The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) Toe Cover is a durable and flexible protective layer at the front of the shoe. It shields your toes from rocks, debris, and other hazards you might encounter on the trail. This added protection not only helps keep your shoes intact but also ensures your toes remain safe during your hikes, allowing you to focus on the adventure ahead.

While DWR Treatment and the Powertex Membrane significantly enhance water resistance, no shoe can guarantee complete dryness in heavy rain. However, these technologies work together to provide excellent protection against moisture. For prolonged exposure to wet conditions, consider wearing waterproof socks or gaiters for added protection.
