I just got these new boots (Merrills, link below). I was wondering if anyone else has used them. It says that they're really waterproof but it doesn't have a Gore-Tex membrane in the middle. Should I take them back and find a pair that has a specific waterproof membrane? I do sometimes hike in the rain.

Any input appreciated. Thanks!
