walking boots-- which are good?
Geoff Berrow wrote
Michael Black wrote Gore-Tex won't protect your boots. It may help to keep your feet dry, but that depends on how well your sweat can dissipate through whatever outlets it can. Your feet won't get wet from outside water, but only if the seams are all well done and the Gore-Tex well protected (ie another layer to make you sweat) and as pointed out, so long as the water doesn't come in over the top. Came back after a walk yesterday and my friend was surprised my feet were not steaming as his were when we took our boots off. (co-incidentally, we have exactly the same Gore tex lined boots). I explained that my feet didn't sweat much and were, in fact, perfectly dry. This might go some way to explaining why some people love Goretex lined boots and others hate them. Nothing to do with what is better, it's what suits the individual best. The problem with that line is that no military bothers with goretex lined boots. There has to be a reason for that. |
