Mountain boots

[Timjtitus]

I wear rubber lacrosse boots for whitetail. What boots do you guys like for running around in the mountains?

I’ve worn Irish Setters since 2004. My current pair since 2010. I prefer boots with aggressive tread like mud tires. Lots of my buddies like Danners, but I’ve been happy with Irish Setter and haven’t had a reason to change.

For the past couple years, I’ve worn Rocky snake boots during bow season.

I tried the rubber boot thing a long time ago, they didn’t cut the mustard for me in the mountains. Maybe middle or South Georgia. They may be ok if you stay on FS roads and have short walks? YMMV.

Bought some Chippewa Searcher II for my Mexico trip and highly recommend them. Waterproof and the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. Getting another pair just incase they quit making these for some reason.

I wear Danner Highground, and Danner Pronghorn.

Snakes crawling heavy in the evenings during early and mid September.

Danner crater rims or danner mountain with snake chaps.

I wear Danner Pronghorn. Good snake boots & waterproof. They do need breaking in, but once you do, best boots I've worn.
I've seen plenty of copperheads in the mountains during bow season.

Irish setter snake boots then danner high ground.

Irish Setter Vaprtek Snake Boots through bow season, and then Salomans for the remainder. Both are super light and no break in required.

My Vasque Sundowner's finally wore out after a set of new soles and a lot of miles so I bought a pair of Keen Durand II Mid WP's, so far very comfortable and not much break in required.

While Ed may not be climbing many mountains any more, I sure enough love the Salomons I got last year!!

Howany if you guys have been bitten by venemous snakes?

 

[ScarFoot]

How many, sorry

 

[Mark K]

If you’re looking for waterproof stay away from Irish Setter and Danner

 

[jbogg]

How many, sorry

Never even been struck at, but stepped right next to a couple Timber Rattlers in the thick stuff that got the heart rate up pretty quick.
