Yes the boots will leak
Asking "gore-tex" to keep boots dry is asking too much. As stated above, gore-tex is an semi-permiable membrane that is "welded" to the inside of the material the boots are made from.
Long story short - the boot seams (at the welt) are the likely suspect for leakage. I waterproof the welt area as is commonly done with all leather boots.
Another option is to wear gore-tex socks. These things work amazingly well. The seam is taped and welded if you purchase the correct ones. And warm too - perhaps too warm sometimes.
