Default goretex boots (again)

I was wondering if anyone has had this happen to their hunting boots.

I am into the light weight hunting boots with the all nylon cordera (sp?) outside that claim to be 100% percent water proof. Now i have boots that are cabela made as well as made by wolverine (great boots i have to say feel like sneakers on your feet and warm)

HOWEVER, for some reason although both claim to be 100% waterproof (cabelas "dryplus" and wolverine "goretex") for some reason if i am walking through a field with wet grass, either thawing dew or wet in the summer they both get soaked. I mean you could wring my socks out.

I don't know if i am not taking care of them (but i didn't think that these types of boots needed grooming) or its just the boots but two pair makes me think it may be me.

Anyone with any experience or advice please help. As you all know wet feet can make for a very short hunt.
