Strut10 Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Re: snake boot Remember to get a boot with speed lacers above the ankle instead of D-rings. They are waaaay easier to adjust lacing tension with the speed lacers. A poorly adjusted pair of snake boots is the most miserable piece of footwear you can spend the day in. Also........invest in a pair of snake boot socks. Wear them over a pair of polypropylene sock liners. Well worth the small investment.

Yellowhammer Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Re: snake boot I got the Irish Setter by Red Wing. They are waterproof and snakeproof. But what sold me on them was that they have a side zipper instead of laces. This makes it alot easier to get on and off. I have had them for over a year now and I have not had one problem with them of any kind and I have abused them alot. The only thing that I am not sure on is if they are really snakeproof. I have not had a chance to test them yet and I hope I never do. Any way here is a link to the boots that I have. http://www.irishsetterboots.com/shoe-zoom.cfm?style=822 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gobblingghost Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: snake boot I have a pair of Rocky's. They do work. I know this for a fact. They have been field tested. But mine are NOT waterproof. My feet get wet in grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covehnter Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: snake boot I've definately got experience in this topic b/c i've searched for a pair of good snake boots for some time and spent lots of money doing it. Do yourself a favor and get a pair of Woody Armors from the Muck Boot Company. Its a snake proof slip on rubber boot that will blow your mind as to their comfort, fit nothing like an ordinary rubber boot. Other advice. . . stay away from the Rocky Longbeards (just my opinion) but i've had 2 pair, my dad has had 2 pair, and my brothers had 1 pair. . . . all will leave you with wet feet. . . now we all wear the Woody Armors. Stay away from Chippewa's . . . . same story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Re: snake boot Got a pair of Rocky waterproof snake boots here. Would buy something different next time I get another pair of boots. Pretty disappointed in the rocky's. After about 16 months of having them, they no longer shed water and my feet get wet walking through a field of grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelyelp Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Re: snake boot i've got a pair of the redhead ones (not the leather ones, mine have a full cordera outer and are about 99$), they are extremely comfortable, great ankle support, great grip (hunt alot of hills/ridges), lightweight, waterproof (and I assume snake proof), and did i mention comfortable ???

redbeard Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Re: snake boot If you want a pair that will last you years and years, go for Russell's turkey hunters. They are of leather and will withstand a creek walk or two. Durability, quietness and comfortabilty are their best features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BriarRidgePlots Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Re: snake boot Who makes a good pull on style snake boot? Non rubber. I have seem em in the catalogs but can't think off the top of my head who makes em....Danner maybe, or was it Chippewa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tail_Feathers Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Re: snake boot I picked up a pair of the Cabela's Pinnacle boots. So far very waterproof and very comfortable. They have a front zipper. Easy on and off. I like my RedHead snake boots but they lost their waterproof after a couple of years. Camp Dry will get back for a few days per spray though.

fly4fish Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Well, is seems I'm a little late on this thread, but I just want to let you know that I have been through a few different brands of snake boots and the Danner Pronghorns are my favorite with gortex. I will probably buy another pair when I wear these out, although I have been wearing TurtleSkin Snake Gaiters lately, so it will be a while. I think I prefer the gaiters overall though as they are lighter, cooler, and more comfortable if you buy a good pair. Here is a link to the site where I learned about the boots and gaiters: www.snakeproofgear.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
