That's the first time I've _ever_ heard of _anyone_ disliking GoreTex in
a boot.

I prefer a plain leather boot without goretex lining.

You'll only find a lack of a GoreTex membrane on very low end boots,
which have other limitations as well, such as sub-standard sole, or
cheaper, non-full grain leather.

That is complete rubbish. My Zamberlans (don't know the model) don't have
goretex and they were definately not a low-end boot.
