Are there goretex boots that don't take on water hiking in wet grass or do we need to move on to waxed all-leather boots? We wore gaiters.
All leather for sure.
Gore-Tex is a joke.
My current 3/4 wore out pair of cowboy is 10x more waterproof than a couple pairs of 'techno' styled goretex hiking boots that I have owned in the past.
Same for rain coats, goretex and it's spin offs turn into a heavy wet POS after an hour or so of rain.
I've had terrible luck with it.
