Proper leather shoes

I don't know a single decent walking boot that uses GoreTex. GoreTex seems to be the stuff used in low grade machine made synthetic footware but I don't think I've ever seen it being used in anything properly made.
GoreTex is reserved for the lower priced "junk" to try to make something cheap and half-way useable.

Don't know about "walking boots", but most hiking and mountaineering boots sold out here in NA do use Gore Tex, and I'm talking about prices that can reach into the stratosphere. Some leather, some plastic, most machine made, but not inexpensive.
