Why Goretex?

Good info, thx

Waterproof boots are as real as Santa Claus. I've given up on them and switched to a jungle boot with waterproof socks. Socks are a lot cheaper to replace. This was a replacement pair of Danners that they sent me after the first ones leaked after a couple of weeks.

Does anyone try any extra measures to help you with waterproofing your boots.  I have always used snow seal or mink oil something like this for help. Has always worked for me

My GoreTex Danner Vipers are still waterproof after 8 years, though I re-treat the leather any time it shows signs of getting dried out.  They don't get subjected to prolonged submersion and are more likely to be in wet mud than straight water.  So far, so good though.  After reading other posts, I'm feeling lucky.

I had a pair of "waterproof" Rocky snake boots that leaked from the the first time I wore them.  It was more like I was wearing cotton socks than boots, as walking through wet grass saturated them.  They got returned immediately.

Wet grass is definitely worse than crossing a creek/stream. It's like it brushes the moisture right inside the boot.
