Yeah, I hate goretex boots for good reason but those are patrician choice for normie boots

o u don’t like goretex boots?

They have their place

what are your gripes?

But I wouldn't want to use them if I can avoid it

I’m always being told to go for goretex boots

Yeah I mean, I'd rather have sweaty feet then soaked boots

Your feet will get wet this is a garuntee

Goretex does not save you

well yeah

After that goretex just impedes water evaporation and traps heat more

but goretex also focuses on drying faster

Especially ehen it's hot as fuck out

No

isn’t it made specifically to let moisture out??

A dedicated jungle or desert boot always cools and dries faster

No goretex is just a semi permeable membrane

i see

Goretex is just teflon stretched really fast and it has holes in it the holes are smaller than water droplets can get through but much bigger than water vapor

It doesn't wick water or anything

Like desert boots

Because wicking stuff works both ways

Socks make the difference when it comes to rain and shit in terms of blisters

so they’re “don’t focus on not getting wet, focus on getting dry faster” thing is bullshit 😔

their*

If you spend any amount of time in the rain your feet will be wet regardless of boot material so the boots have to fit well, and support well. Ideally dry fast so when it stops raining and being shit your feet go back to being fine

are waterproof socks viable?

Waterproof socks....

What

Like overboots?

no there’s like

His pount kyu is nothing is absolutely water proof

And waterproofing shouldn't be the main focus, it should be fitx comfort, versatility

Because those alleviate a wet foot

Correct me if I'm wrong
