Hitting the final stages of researching which boot I'll go with next and was wondering everyones opinions on which option is better? As a background, I bowhunt only which typically means all my hunting is August/September hiking. I do hunt wet areas like Alaska as much as I do dry areas like the southern desert/high alpine.
I have all but settled on getting a set of the Lowa Tibet boots (in the wide version after measuring my foot)... but can't decide between leather lined or goretex.
Is it realistic to expect the leather only option to be waterproof? It confuses me a bit because the manufacturer description makes it sound like the non goretex dissipates heat/moisture much better... but this leads me to question the waterproofness of these models.
