Hello All,
I going to need to buy new shoes/boots this season. Maybe I am brainwashed on Gortex but what is anyone experience with Gortex lined shoes by Inov8? Do your feet get hot? I have some very nice Golite Gortex lined boots, but my feet get hot. Don't like hot feet. Gortex pushes the dry/breathable benefits, but my feet get hot. Has anyone had this work? Does Inov8 make it work?
Otherwise I am seriously considering Inov8 Rocklite 295's
Thanks!
Paul

There are many possibilities, but those are quite popular with this crowd. You really need to know where you intend to use them, e.g. wet stream crossings, snow, desert, dirt, rock, etc.
