The Goretex jackets I have are simply not as breathable as I would like. Running in the rain, I seem to find myself wetter on the inside that the outside. And Goretex shoes are the same. Seems better to me to run in shoes that drain well. My Goretex shoes are extremely hot. But they do work well for snowshoeing. I guess I should mention that I'm in California. I just took a ski trip to Colorado, where I would have died without Goretex pants and jacket. It was bitter cold--17 below with windchill. I find it interesting that Goretex is the hot item.
