You know, I don't get that.  I hiked in a pair of Merrell Gortex boots for 
years and never got wet feet, as long as I kept the tops covered with my rain 
pants or gaiters if it was raining.  They finally blew out, and are no longer 
waterproof, but they served me well for many years.  When I went hiking in 
the Smokies over New Years, in the snow, not rain, I was wearing a new pair 
of LLBeans w/ gortex, using gaitors, and my feet did get wet.  Maybe I had 
magic boots before?  I wish I would have bought some more pairs before they 
stopped making them :(
