Yeah, I commented on it below. Goretex (well, any membrane in general) is kinda crap in mechanical stress. If You can put it under some mechanical reinforcement

Yeah, I commented on it below. Goretex (well, any membrane in general) is kinda crap in mechanical stress. If You can put it under some mechanical reinforcement (generally the case in motorcycle boots where You got some hard panels for protection) or don't mind some extra weight when You laminate it to some decent rub-resistant fabric, it lasts decades. None of that is unfortunately done in regular plastic running/light hiking shoes
