I am considering getting some boots for the cold days ahead. Lady at the lower-tier store told me there is no such thing as a waterproof shoe without manual impregnation every couple of uses, unless I buy gore-tex. Is that accurate? My motorcycle boots were waterproof until I put a hole in them and I never impregnated those, nor are they made of the specified material.
Also, how much should I shell out for a pair of good shoes? The low-tier store went anywhere from 30 to 80 euro, the upper tier "hiking" store was 110-180. Should I bother visiting a place like Deichmann?
