The only time I have had ANY issue with Gore-Tex is with a pair of Merrell Moab Gore-Tex XCR Cross Training Shoes for men. They have been the worst shoe I have ever owned. I believe that it is MERRELL'S problem that the shoe is JUNK. They leak, stitching is falling apart, the toe box is peeling from the sole (couple of month old!) the lacing system broke down around month 3 and you cannot re-lace them without CUTTING new holes in the shoe.
