Of course boots with Gore-Tex membranes for water-proofness and
breathability are used by the military. You can even buy factory seconds
of the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine boots with the GoreTex membrane.

Yep Military "APPROVED" NOT Military ISSUE. There's a world of difference in
that.


Also, some militaries use socks with a GoreTex membrane, though this is
not as effective.

Again - NOT issued kit.


I'm getting very near to plonking you and your TOTAL inability to accept
that many people of long experience DISAGREE with you.
