As I stated - the ability of goretex linings to breath is restricted by the ability of the leather to breathe, so why bother with the goretex? It's a gimmick designed to con punters. I've long thought that myself, and never noticed any significant difference between leather boots with and without gore-tex. Fabric ones, of course, are a different story. Given that the socks are at least as important when it comes to disposing of perspiration, You'd think that all the sales blurbs on expensive boots would tell you which socks to wear, or at least which they were tested with. They never mention it. (I go for socks with as much wool and as little man-made fibre as I can find. I dont, I dont got for no man made fibre, they dont last as well as those with say 30% of the right man made fibre. I used to wear pure cotton socks inside the wool ones, but can't get them anywhere now.) They're still around, from china. |
