Re: Goretex. At some points your boots are going to get overtopped, it's unavoidable in the outdoors. And goretex boots take a lot longer to dry out than regular boots. A lot.
She was talking about using them for hiking.
Regardless of what boot you wear, when you get water in them it gets complicated.
I don't get your reasoning here.
My Vasques have seen many a mile and I wore the sole down on 1 in 2 summers, and am on my second pair.

You're going to have to cross a creek somewhere along the way. Crossing barefoot isn't always the best option. Regular boots dry out a lot faster than goretex boots once the insides are wet. I've had goretex hiking boots before. I won't use them again for spring/summer/fall hiking, or any hiking at all in the south.
As others have said, if you're in a snow situation, that's a different matter.
