“On May 28, 2008, we received our stylish Gore-Tex shoes at BMCC. We were so appreciative and honored with the opportunity to try-out the shoes that we wore them home. They were the envy of several other BMCC students and faculty who were not part of TTA 100 Switzerland Study Abroad program,” commented Sasha Munoz, a TTA 100 program participant.

“After wearing the Gore-Tex shoes for a few days, I can honestly state the shoes are truly a pleasure to wear and definitely save my feet on the rocky terrain of Mt. Pilatus in Switzerland,” stated Sasha Munoz. She continued, “Everyone has noticed that Gore-Tex shoes are durable and provide great support. They are comfortable, excellent for managing moisture and controlling heat transfer – so my feet do not sweat. Thanks to Gore-Tex, I have had dry feet in the wet Switzerland weather.”
