It is interesting you saying that Paul. Folks on this forum have often slammed Gortex complaining that it didn’t keep the water out, and that we cannot trust it. My experience, with the Solomons at least it that my feet stay nice and dry. I bought a pair for my sister who lives on Vancouver Island. I asked her if her feet stat dry and she too is impressed with the Solomon shoes. Where she lives they get about 37 inches of rain a year and so I figured it to be a good test. She wears them everyday too.
