In reply to unsure:
Goretex is completely useless for boot/shoe linings, but unfortunately it's now hard to find any without.
The waterproofing works fine in fairly light rain, but the same is true with leather boots.
In heavy rain, the water gets through the outer, meets the goretex, wicks up the boot to the top of the lining, and then down again inside. Leather also lets in water in these conditions, but takes longer.
And in any case the goretex lining will have worm out within a year. The boots may still be waterproof in light rain, but that's now due to the outer.
