>>2832301Unfortunately there are very few /out/ists who go out during near freezing or below freezing. At that point you may risk frostbite if you attempt to "walk your socks" dry like you can do during most temps above 10°C. Leather is naturally water repellent, and goretex just adds on to that - especially nice in snowy conditions.
Obviously you have to engage with the enviorment differently. If youre actively wading in water during those temps, and stomping around in wet socks, then goretex is the least of your issues.
>>2832314Single layer african ranger is what I was eyeing, as well as some type of forming to the toe. My only negative with the vivos is that they some times rub the top of my toes. Good thing hearing theyre rugged despite the extra weight, I dont mind that for a leather boot.
