How can shoes breathe? Feet handle a whole lot stress in a day. They hold you up and sweat is the greatest defense in your body to cool you down. Because feet perpetrate so much in on day engineers created shoes that breathe. A special membrane inspired form space age technology is used in the sole of the shoe. This material is constructed over 1000, 400, 000 holes per centimeter. Each hole is 20 times smaller than a small drop of water but 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor. Sweat is presented in this size. This means that sweat can escape but water drops and puddles can’t seep through. The rubber sole is durable enough to with stand this. These types of shoes allow for the heavy amount of perspiration to escape and this leads to feet not over heating and keeping normal body temperature.
