IMO Goretex boots are best for "in-camp" use.... Its comfy and
soft... use it in camp like parade, going cookhouse, office work
and even some training like SOC, BCCT / ACCT...
Not very suitable for field training... although its water proof
but wear n tear is inevitable.. afterall, goretex is still a
fabric... and dont forget those Concertina wires!! The fabric also
trap dust and sand particles, which will make cleaning very
tough... so most of us bo chap n kiwi.... in the end the goretex
part become shiny and very inflexible...
