The narritive description of the boot states "water resistant" while on the column section on the side states the boots are "water proof"... so which is it?

If it don't say "Gore-Tex" I would bet it is something else. Gore-Tex is absolutely fantastic stuff (they have been at it the longest) BUT many companies are going in leaps and bounds with new materials (look at eVent) Any membrane listed as "3-ply laminated is probably good stuff. The biggest considerations (at least to me) are breathability and the quality of innner and outer materials that protect the waterproof layer.

I checked Timberland's site, and their description is a little more specific. It's a 3-ply laminated waterproof membrane, which to me reads as gore-tex. They don't list specific ratings on waterproofing or breathability, though.
