It's always baffled me why their aren't more goretex options for mountain biking.
I generally ride spds, but use flats for bikepacking as I want to be comfy when camping and because there is normally some hike a bike.
The ideal shoe would be a robust trail running/approach shoe, like the ones above, but with a goretex liner and a flat/sticky sole. Shoes on the market always have too much tread and so don't grip the pins. Anyone seen something like this about?

Once a goretex shoe gets wet inside it doesn't get dry again for days.
If you're riding in the rain a goretex shoe might wet out in 2hrs, leaving you with wet feet for the rest of your ride. This is shit.
You want a non-goretex shoe that drains well, combined with a sock that keeps your foot warm when wet.
I ride in Inov8 fell running shoes, combined with Defeet wool socks. It's a great combo. -

These might be worth an effort.
