Vapor-permeable shoe with waterproof and vapor-permeable sole

This invention describes a shoe designed to keep your feet dry from outside water while letting sweat vapor escape. It achieves this with a special sole that is mostly waterproof but has a specific area allowing water vapor through. This area is covered by a waterproof, breathable membrane and a protective microporous screen made from a specific polyolefin mixture, both sealed to the sole.

Why it matters: Since 2011, advancements in polymer science and microporous film manufacturing may have made the specific breathable screen material cheaper or more effective to produce at scale. This could simplify the core challenge of creating a durable, highly breathable, and waterproof sole.
