Buy a pair of Danner Mountain Lights. Mink oil will seal the seams and you can resole them for the rest of your backpacking life. I've had mine for 25 years.

Goretex or other membrane based waterproofing can take a lot longer to dry out if wet and the material will eventually fail. Remember, they are only waterproof to the top of the boot.
