Fabric footwear

W. L. Gore and Associates Inc. has improved its CROSSTECH footwear fabric, meeting both NFPA 1971, 2005 edition, and NFPA 1992, 2007 edition, certifications. CROSSTECH footwear fabric provides comfort because of its high breathability. It is designed to protect against liquids and the common chemicals specified in NFPA 1971, including more aggressive chemicals such as 98 percent sulphuric acid. This fabric allows perspiration vapor to escape from the boot, keeping the foot drier and cooler. The leather in the boot design makes the footwear lighter and fit better.
