Waterproof treatment for Roclite 315’s? After reading BPL, I’m thinking no.

McNett makes a boot/shoe water repellant:

I was going to get some for my Roclite 315's. They are very breathable, but not waterproof.

Then I read Lightweight Footwear Systems …

When I read that article, I think I've changed my mind and will leave my Roclites alone. Putting a DWR treatment on them will cause them to dry slower. If I expect cold rain, or snow, I can get some Gore-Tex socks to keep my feet dry. And I have the flexibility to just use wool socks if the conditions warrant.

Has this article opened my eyes or am I missing something? I can't wait to read part 1 and part 3.
