I have never had any trouble under such mild use, either, nor did

well day-by-day, if you can get them at least dryish overnight;
it is the third and subsequent days out in conditions that make

You seem determined to play down my experience with my Gortex boots/trail
shoes, you comment of "mild use" is quite patronising seeing as you don't
really know the conditions in which they were used.

Very wet is very wet.

Your remark "... it is the third and subsequent days out in conditions
that make most dogs want to stay indoors that distinguish the waterproofness
of materials." .....sums up their use quite accurately.

You go your way, Ill stick with my truth.
