when it says gortex insert, does that mean that the boots are only gortex if you insert a seperate liner into the boot, or is the insert a permanant part of the boot?

It is a permanent part of the boot. It is the most expensive and reliable type of waterproofing system in boots right now, sometimes manufacturers just use panels where boots are exposed to moisture or use a treatment on the outside of the boot, but an "insert" or "gore-tex bootie" (same things), are really the best way to make truly waterproof boot.
