I live in Ireland so it rains hard and it rains often. You probably think this is similar to a lot of other places but the Romans didn't call this land Hibernia for nothing. When I lived in Scotland I was struck by how much less it rained.
But I'm forgetting myself, I'm talking about the Hberno-rain because I've seen a pair of double leather soled boots. I've gone for rubber-soled up until now because I've been led to believe that alongside increased durability they stand up to wet weather much better. In fact, I've had this assumption that rubber supercedes leather soles, but to be honest I don't really know that much about leather soles and especially double leather soles.
If I get these boots, do I need to worry about water getting through the soles or anything else that someone used to rubber soles would need to consider the practicality thereof?
