I've been using a pair of SIDI On Road Sympatex boots for over a year now
and they have never leaked or dampened on the inside, not even when I got
them muddy riding a dual sport and washed them in a high-pressure car wash.
They are water proof because of the Sympatex (a Gortex-like material) liner
and if they leak, I think you should consider asking for a replacement.
