I bought some new Columbia boots, a lot like MOAB's. They are Gor-tex lined and waterproof...................or so the box and label said. I wore them this weekend for the first time in wet weather. I was soaked through in minutes and had miserable feet all weekend. Ive never had a Gor-tex product do that. Something is fishy and these boots are going back. Lesson learned. Stick with Merrill, Keen or something along those lines.
