Good review. One thing on gore tex though, and it's not just you that get's it wrong either. Gore-Tex is a lining membrane INSIDE the shoe or boot or any product containing Gore-Tex. The water beading is just a factory applied water repellent.
The sole does not work well in the rain. My pair have chipped and cracked soles within 3 months. The upper is waterproof but the soles are crap in the rain.
Thanks for asking! If I had to pick, I’d pick the original version over the Gortex every time. The original is a more breathable, comfortable version! at the end of the day, I think the gortex has its place when the weather looks dicey. But if I want to wear an Air Max 90, I’d choose the original version
@@Drew_ReviewsI just purchased the gore tex version, I must say they are very uncomfortable and make your feet sweat. I will probably just wear them once or twice.
