I've spent all day from daylight to dark ankle deep in a swamp with Gore-Tex boots and my feet were still dry at the end of the day. I've had a bunch of different pairs of Gore-Tex boots over the years. Some leaked the first day, others developed leaks after a couple months with fairly little use and others have lasted several hunting seasons without leaking a bit. The best so far have been my current Irish setters. They've been through 8 seasons now and still don't leak at all. Screw treated leather boots. I did my time with them. By the time you get them plugged up enough with wax to be waterproof your feet will sweat so bad you might as well be wearing rubber or just let them leak. Your feet will be just as wet at the end of the day.
