I would only class myself as a partially flat earthist. My issue with membrane liners isn't that I like getting wet feet or think that everything must be made out of hair shirts, it just that I've never had a pair of membrane lined boots or shoes which I found comfortable to wear - they just make my feet hot and sweaty.
Also, leather with decent proofing in it is waterproof enough for anything that I'm likely to be doing.
