Also, I'm curious Minkey, what temperatures did your feet roast in, and what temps were they comfortable in, in your Gore Tex boots.
Thanks everyone, for your help,
Brad

Brad Chatellier said:Do I want the waterproofness of Goretex, or do the cons (not breathable, hot sweaty feet) outweigh the potential benefit in rainy conditions.
Peter Robins said:So, I would recommend breathable fabrics for winter walking on the camino, but for summer they're a waste of money.
Brad Chatellier said:How about for late spring, when I'm going? I'm planning for a total mix of hot and cold, dry and rain.
Brad Chatellier said:In rain it would seem that either leather or Gore Tex will keep your feet dry. In heat, feet sweat in either material, but hopefully the mesh of these boots will keep them cooler than full leather, even if the wicking doesn't work as well. In cold, the Gore Tex would seem to be an advantage.
