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
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 😔

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
Oh that's what you meant. If you want your feet to turn to mush then sure
Merino wool socks are literally the only sock option.
hm ok
