As stated above, Gore-Tex is made of Teflon. Waterproof boots are lined with a "bootie" that is shaped roughly like the inside of the boot, then a cloth liner inside of that gets sewn to the boot itself. The Gore-Tex liner never gets dewn, that would make it leak. But Gore-Tex boots do start to leak if they get flexed too many times, just like any plastic material. The problem is worse in cold weather. Call the manufacturer of the boots to see what they will do, or call the vendor.
