I think they're predominantly a fashion brand.Have had many pairs of textile books, they all leak eventually, especially if your walking through wet grass or common land. The Scarpa leather boots with Gortex lining have never leaked and mine get used for at least 6 miles every day.

I've still got a pair of Karrimor KSB Gore-Tex that I bought in '94. They've seen a fair bit of use, including a few Munros, over the years and they've never leaked.
I finally replaced them in 2018 with a pair of Lowa Renegade Gore-Tex. https://www.lowa.co.uk/shop/product-13-renegade-gtx-mid-2018
textile boots will all leak if you are walking through wet grass, as it forces the water through the vortex.
There's your problem, right there. You need to try ones with Gore-Tex.
I do think Altberg boots are brilliant, wore them for years in the Military, its just easier to try boots on in places like Cotswold.
