I agree. I'm happy with membranes because as I've got older my feet
don't sweat as much. Not everyone is the same.

I was talking about trail shoes. I've never had boots without a
membrane and so can't tell you if they would be better or worse. I
limit my comments to situations where I have direct experience and
respect the fact that everyone's needs are different. I commend it to
you.

(a) no they're not.
(b) again, Goretex isn't the only game in town. Sealskinz waterproof
socks, for example, are standard hiking soock thickness and I use them
in my unlined, remarkably useful, versatile and well travelled Scarpa
trail shoes interchangably with my usual wool/synthetic mix Bridgedales.
So since I have a "not thicker" example in my sock-drawer all your
other points about thickness disappear.

Manifestly not true. As expert's expert Chris Townsend has already
pointed out, unlined shoes are often preferable.

In the U.S. we use gaiters to prevent snow or water from coming in over
the top. Also, in areas where you'd likely be stepping into puddles or
streams it's best to get a higher boot.

You can learn about them here

Well, in these more backward parts of the planet, we also have gaiters.

Problem is, primitive people like myself sometimes tend to postpone
putting them on until it's a bit too late...

Sorry mate the military do NOT ISSUE GORETEX BOOTS TO THE vast majority
of soldiers. I don't know where you get this from but it's NOT TRUE.

I know - I'm ex Army.

And thus having an already waterproof boot as in dressed leather
absolutely negates any advantage in having a membrane lining!

I have worn and tried many different types of boots, socks,
overtrouser and gaiter combinations over the years.

The very worst option is shorts and sealskinz socks in heavy rain.
Water runs down the legs and into the socks where it cannot escape.
Toes end up like prunes.

Waterproof trousers over gaiters is probably the best option in heavy
rain, but in snow the gaiters should be worn over the waterproof
trousers where there is a risk of a self-stabbing by crampon;
hopefully the tough fabric of the gaiter will prevent damage to
expensive waterproof trousers.

As I explained, in weather or conditions where this would be an issue,
the prudent thing to do is to wear gaiters.

That may have been the case when you were in the Army, but these days
the combat boots for wet and cold conditions have a
waterproof/breathable membrane. It's written into the specification that
the manufacturers bid on.

For ice climbing this is the case, but for XC skiing the trousers won't
be damaged by anything. the classic knickers, with the gaiters over
them, is what used to be common for XC skiing before knickers went out
of fashion. Now with the plastic boots for back-country skiing there is
no need for waterproofing, but you still need gaiters. Some of the
higher end winter pants have integrated gaiters (along with a GoreTex
membrane of course).

Unless you have gaiters that have a water-tight seal onto the boot, it
does NOT stop water wicking up and into the boot.

I havent had any water come in over the top in 50 years.

And I dont wear the longer boots either.

I know this Sunflower store. They sell a large percentage of
their food in bulk containers. These containers are exposed
to peoples dirty hands regularily-the food is expose to air,
bacteria and other contaminants on a daily basis as people
open and close the bins, stick their hands in there, drop
whatever crap is on their hands into often sugar laden bins
where bacteria thrives. Not a good place to be buying your
the food you eat. Despite their blaring TV ads, their prices
are definitely NOT low. In fact, rather high. $3-4 for loaf
of in house bread? Very high vitamin prices, much cheaper at
Trader Joe's or online.

benefits membership has to offer! Joining costs an initial due of
$1,000 plus $150 monthly. With the $5,000 bonus GIN is offering, you
will nearly double the money that you put in automatically. Click
HERE and go to "Join Now" to get started or go to https://www.globalinformationnetwork.com
and use affiliate code 1500251.

If you are looking for wealth creation, financial freedom, emotional
well-being, privileged information, information on what is really
going on in the world, or natural health remedies then you have come
to the right place. This is a special invitation for you to join the
Global Information Network (GIN). Visit the main website at
https://www.globalinformationnetwork.com for more information. There
you can listen to an invitation audio that will describe what GIN is
all about and read how GIN was formed and by whom. I have been a
member for nine months now and have seen how GIN has evolved and
proven itself to be all that it claims.

When you go to the main webpage you have the choice of signing up as
an affiliate or a member. Joining as an affiliate is free and has
some good benefits, but is obviously limited. Joining as a member has
infinitely more benefits and costs an initial due of $1,000 and
monthly dues of $150. You will see that this is an amazing bargain
once you gain access to the member's area. It is hard to put a price
on something that changes your life for the better. I have yet to
meet a member who has attended a live event or studied the information
that hasn't been changed in a positive and profound way. Attending a
live event and meeting the high-level members is life changing. It is
hard to describe the value of talking with and building relationships
with the high-level and successful members that created GIN. How much
would you pay to have personal time with some of the most successful
people in the world? Even if you had the money to meet these people
how else would you even get access to them? I have had this privilege
and would like for you to have this opportunity as well.

So, go to https://www.globalinformationnetwork.com and sign up today.
If you are tight on cash right now, I would encourage you to join as
an affiliate first. As an affiliate you can participate in the
commission structure, listen to the weekly audio updates, and have
access to the affiliate training (seminars and marketing tools).
Later on you can join as a member and have access to the confidential
information, training events, and greater money making opportunities.
If you are asked for an access code, use 1500251. I look forward to
sharing this exciting experience with you! If you have any questions
or concerns, you can contact me by emailing me at
mastercondorcop@aol.com

What a crock of BS. This from your earlier REPOST in January.

"I did a vision therapy thing 25 or so years ago. Doing a simple near-
far focus
exercise several times a day allowed me in a few months to quit
wearing my
glasses. I still only need reading glasses once in a while for fine
print
reading, and my old glasses are nice for seeing ALL the stars at
night, but not
needed at all otherwise.

My eyes weren't really bad before I started this process, so YMMV."

So your eyes were not that bad to begin with and you still need
glasses sometimes anyway.
You are one mixed up puppy.

First, you are talking to the wrong person. Get some glasses so you can see who
wrote what.

Second, my eyes were bad enough to be REQUIRED by the state to wear glasses for
driving. I haven't had that requirement for 25 years. And I still usually read
without glasses at 61 years of age.

Just because you can't accomplish something doesn't mean it can't be done.
Plenty of others have done what you say you can't. Too bad for you.
