Men's hiking and trekking boot. Exceptional comfort, thanks to the soft, lightweight materials and unmatched levels of cushioning and breathability, thanks to the use of the new and revolutionary Gore−Tex® Surround technology, which allows the heat and humidity to be evacuated also under the plant of the foot without losing its protection and waterproofing.
Within this new concept, the Galaxy is an extremely comfortable and breathable mid−cut leather boot, yet waterproof and offering great performances in terms of support, stability and protection.
New Gore−Tex® Surround technology provides 360º breathability allowing your foot to breathe in every direction, thanks to the waterproof and breathable membrane that surrounds the whole foot and allows increased capacity. With 1,400 million microscopic pores in every square centimeter, the pores in this membrane are much smaller than a drop of water and much larger than a water vapour molecule. In this way the drop of water is unable to get through, while body moisture is easily wicked to the outer surface.
A spacer with an open structure is placed between the sock−like Gore−Tex® Surround membrane and the midsole to enhance breathability underfoot, without losing out on cushioning. The lower section of the upper uses a textile with smaller cells to prevent particles from entering and reducing breathability of the Gore−Tex® Surround membrane.
Having succeeded in uniting such opposing functions into one boot, the Galaxy presents itself as a perfect boot for multiple outdoor activities also at warm temperatures; from long routes along marked trails and roads such as Grand Routes, the Camino de Santiago, the Inca Trail etc., as well as for one−day hill walking or weekend hikes. The Galaxy are also ideal for more aerobic activities such as Nordic Walking and Speed Hiking, or for more tranquil ones such as adventure travels, offering, regardless of activity, always excellent levels of comfort and breathability.

Gore-Tex® Surround
The ideal solution for outdoor activities in moderate and warmer conditions, thanks to its increased breathability. The open construction allows moisture and warmth to escape from below the foot through the Gore-Tex® laminate into the open structure of a spacer, and from there out of the shoe via side ventilation outlets. As a result, your feet are drier. Dry feet enhance your sense of well-being and reduce the risk of blisters and chafing.
Several lab and field tests show a significant reduction of relative skin humidity during a 3.5 hour hike including short breaks. Shoes with Gore-Tex® Surroundâ„¢ remove sweat faster. The result is dry feet, both from the inside and the outside.
