never had to test the snake proof part, but I had a pair of Rocky snake boots that were supposed to be water proof. they were only water proof for one wearing. The second time I wore them, they soaked through when I walked through an ankle deep stream.
Had a pair of bear claws that did good for about 3 or 4 year, then suddenly started leaking in the middle of deer season one year. I still wore them, but that following spring, the soles just disentigrated. Was the strangest thing I've ever seen in a boot. Had another pair of Rocky's that was new model for that year and was supposed to have air soles. A small stick (not much more than a twig)punctured the air sole the first time I wore them,
so all in all, 1 out of 3 pair of rocky's have been good for me.

I have a pair of rockys that are the most comfortable boots I've ever owned, AFTER I had them resoled with a vibram sole.
Prior to that they stunk and after two years the sole literally disintigrated as if they were dipped in acid or something.
My favorite pair of boots are my 18" RedHead (BPS) Snake Boots that I bought on sale for $79. They are like wearing bedroom shoes.

100% guarentee waterproof means nothing to Brooks Borothers, the owners of Rocky Boots. Just wait till the leak then try to get them fixed or replaced.
I will NEVER again grace my lovely feet with such trash, I'd rather walk in $1.00 flip flops from Walmart..
Just my .02

Several years ago I said that I would never buy another pair of Rocky Boots - poor boot quality & worse customer service on a special order pair of boots. So far, knock on wood, I have never bought or worn another pair of Rocky boots!
Don't buy Rocky Boots. They promise more than they deliver and their customer service is non-existent. I bought my last pair in 2000 and they weren't worth spit. Their customer service bascially told me tough luck. I told them I would talk bad about them to the day I die. I am not one to break a promise - so I say again - Don't buy Rocky Boots. Wrap you feet in old rags - they will be cheaper and will last nearly as long.

Be prepared to buy a cheaply made boot that will more than likely leak................bought my last pair already.

Rockys are cheaply made, In D.R.
I have also had numourous pair of Rocky boots; I have been back to Bass Pro so many times because of them that the customer service personell recognize me now.I took my last pair back and am at a point where Im just going to look at whats available before I buy again, Probally wait for the Buckmadness sale!!!
The boots are made in the Dominican Republic.
I havent been there but have many close friends from the D.R.,that still have family there and visit them regularly. The island is a poverty stricken place,Most of the people their dream of coming to the U.S..
The people are paid very poorly,in poor conditions!!!
sweat shop enviroment.
So there goes any care into the products production for quality !! And therefore you can forget about customer service. I cant imagine what their profit margin is on a pair of 100. boots!!! They wont get another cent from me.

I had a pair of bear claws a few years back and the soles completely came apart(disintegrated). Rocky would not replace their inferior product, and I told them that was my last pair ever..You will regret it if you buy a pair of Rockies...

I'll never own another pair of Rocky's. I do like LaCrosse Alpha Burly's and have a pair without insulation and a pair with 1000 grams of thinsulate - very good boots for the $.
And I have been wearing a pair of RedHead snake boots for the past 5 years that are extremely comfortable and are holding up very well.
Another .02cents worth!

I've used Rocky's forever ----- till I had a pair literally fall to pieces.
Went with the Redhead zip up snakeboot about this time last year and I'm very pleased with the comfort and durability. ---------- and the price.
I`ve had good luck with LaCrosse snake boots. I`ve never had a rattler bite thru em either. And yes, I have tested em.
