Obviously yes
Hey Mike, no just pill them out after about 8-24 hours and the paper should have drawed all of the moisture out of them. Missed you at the fall outing on Al West!

Personally Gore-tex "lined" boots are worthless as the goretex neither keeps the boot dry nor waterproof. Especially when ones feet sweat. Its a marketing ploy as far as i am concerned. Look for boots without the Gore-tex. Cheaper, and just as waterproof if you bother to actually seal your boots like one should always do. Keeps the leather supple so the boot lasts longer. Assuming of course that your boots aren't full of flashly looking mesh etc, but then those said "boots" don't last long anyways as scree destroys them in short order.
