ELKTON, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Wellco Enterprises has specified GORE-TEX® footwear fabric to provide waterproof, breathable protection in its new Smith & Wesson Guardian GTX series of footwear for law enforcement professionals. GORE-TEX® footwear fabric keeps feet drier and more comfortable by preventing exposure to rain and inclement weather while allowing moisture vapor (perspiration) to escape.
Wellco’s Smith & Wesson Guardian GTX series of footwear are among the lightest-weight high-performance shoes and boots on the market today, combining comfort with excellent traction and protection against the harsh elements that patrol and tactical officers encounter on the job.

According to Kerry Ferguson, Director of Marketing at Wellco and Smith & Wesson Footwear, this new Guardian line of footwear was designed to meet all the needs of law enforcement professionals — protection, agility, durability, and comfort. “We chose GORE-TEX® footwear fabric as the waterproof barrier because of its reputation for delivering long-lasting breathability and protection.” Ferguson added, “While working with Gore during the design and construction of these new boots, we found that their commitment to delivering high-quality products is backed by years of expertise in barrier design and some of the most rigorous performance testing available in the industry today.”

Wellco Boots: Wellco Gear Won’t Let You Down

Shoe shopping is definitely not my favorite activity. That’s why the most important qualities I look for in a pair of boots include strength and durability. I look for boots that can endure any challenge and Wellco makes some excellent boots for just such an occasion. If you’re a hiker, camper, or adventurer, these boots are great in the wilderness. They are not only tough and resistant to the elements, but also lightweight and available in a variety of styles.

The steel toed boot is great for hiking treacherous paths. No more worrying about injuring your toes and feet because of a stumble or fall. These boots will help keep your feet safe and they are tough enough to take any punishment you can dish out.

I also love Wellco’s tactical lightweight boots. They are light and tough – great for running around. If you want mobility, these should be your first choice. They are as light as sneakers and will maintain a sturdy grip even on muddy or damp surfaces.

Wellco is a respected brand used by military personnel. Check out these other styles of Wellco Boots at excellent prices.
