My personal experience with Goretex lined boots is that once the membrane gets dirty (most likely with salt deposits from perspiration) it wicks moisture thus becoming leaktex. I find that the built in lining is impossible to adequately wash once it becomes dirty.
Goretex socks can be easily washed thus maintaining their water-proof qualities. The rule of thumb for Goretex care is 'wash a lot and dry it hot'.
If I'm worried about keeping my feet dry in wet conditions, short of a pair of wellies I have found that a pair of full leather boots which have been seam sealed and water-proofed (with some suitable non-silicon treatment) work quite well.
Just sayin'
