Anybody else had problems with these Rocky snakeboots?

I got these snakeboots around april for turkey hunting. I loved the way they were put together with the zip up on the side of the boots and that it was made out of cordura material. The boots were a little stiff out of the box but after breaking them in they were fine...until they started leaking. I noticed that if i walked through high grass with lots of dew then they would leak water in around the foot area. I just called Rocky and they said i would need to take the boots back to where i bought them and that they would return the boots for me. A little frustrated because this is the 2nd pair of Rocky snake boots that i have found have NOT been waterproof. Anybody else have any problems with this boot?

I will never buy another pair. Bought 2 different pair about 2 years ago and both haven fallen apart with not much use. I called and they would not send me new ones either. Never again.

I just bought my wife a pair of Danner Sharptail snake boots a little while ago.

I had a pair years ago that were "water proof". Well it turns out, the boots were sprayed with a water repellant, and once you wear off the repellent...boots leak. I try my best not to buy any boots that don't have a liner...gortex etc.

i cruised timber during the summer when i was in school. in the summer 2001, i wore out two pair of rocky snakeboots. the soles came off both pair. i didnt have much money, but i broke down and ordered a pair of danners. i still have the danners today. they look terrible now but they have never, ever leaked. theyre as comfortable as they were the year i bought them.

Just an update. The Lacross Venoms i ended up swapping the Rockys out for are awesome. Been walking through wet grass and in water all turkey season and been holding up fine. no leaks so far.

I thought everyone quit buying Rocky's years ago when they had the problem with the soles falling apart on all their boots? Not to mention they didn't offer a refund.
