In reply to PPP:
As far as I've used outdry footwear it seems to last a lot longer than gore text and similar membranes. I'm mostly a fell runner and tend to jog down hills even in boots. Goretex lined boots seldom seem to stay watertight for long...I suspect running in them doesn't help.
I've had a couple of pairs of Columbia trainers in outdry and they've remained waterproof far longer...perhaps the allegedly more robust membrane or the fact that it's bonded to the underside to the outer makes it less prone to creasing or wear or puncturing?
I've just got a pair if charmoz outdry purely for the membrane!
My scarpa rebel gtx and manta pro both leaked within 6 weeks or so.
