I have NEVER had a pair of this brand of boots...

Red Wing makes excellent boots. Lighter than traditional "hunting boots" too. Mink oil will make them very water resistant all over- not "water proof" around the tongue tho.

I had a pair that lasted 20 years in an industrial environment along with hunting as well.

They don't have really deep cleats or treads to fill up with mud. I hate those kind of soles.

Lacrosse 4X Alphas done me well

I've had good luck with Lacrosse.

I bought a pair of Lacrosse snake boots last year and the heel is separating where I use the toe of my other boot to pull them off.

Is Lacrosse the "bad" brand in question or some other? I know mine have held up for many years but I am not exactly a heavy duty user of that type of knee high boots.

What kind of boots were the ones the sole fell off?

Looks like Bass Pro Redhead brand.

Aint any good rubber boots really. I work in mucks and im lucky to get a year out of em. At $100 ish a pair that hurts. I guess im cheap. If you could spend $200 and they would last then i'd do it, but they wont at any price.

As good a boot as I have ever worn is the original LL Bean Maine Hunting Shoe, in 12 inch height. In cold weather I wear Merino wool socks with those boots and stay warm. When you`re slipping in the woods you can feel almost everything through the soles of this boot and you can really walk quietly. Kind of old fashioned, but they sure perform well.

I wear those any rain day or mud days at work. Great boots! Keep a pair in my truck at all times.

I have a pair of those for rain days also, but they will make your feet SWEAT like crazy. They don't breathe at all!

the most comfortable pair of boots I own are Danner Pronghorn snake boots, very lightweight, and have held up for the last 5yrs or so with no issues, I tried a pair of LaCrosse snake boots before buying the Danners, not even close !

Looks like Bass Pro Redhead brand.

I've had 3 pairs of their Neoprene boots. If the soles don't fall off they wear out quick. I just bought a pair of Vasque Breeze. Lighter weight, waterproof and comfortable and the soles don't fall off.

I don't worry too much about snakes where I am. I probably should but I don't.

I had a pair of Cabela's snake boots that I wore for several years before the sole started coming off. I'm actually wearing a pair of Cabela's Gore-Tex wellingtons that I've had at least ten years - been re-soled once and about ready for another. The Redhead brand doesn't hold a candle to the old Cabela's stuff.

I had a set of RH Snake boots almost dissolve after I crossed a creek in them.

I was referring to Rocky brand in my post. Several people I know have had the same experience.

I was just fixing to post that I bet that they were Rocky Boots.

They used to give you another pair when something happened but soon stopped that. The last pair that I had was never even worn, they were a gift that I set aside as I didn't need them right then. When I did get them out to wear the soles had completely disintegrated/melted. I threw them in the burn pile with the tags still attached.

I'll never give them another dime for anything.

 

[ClemsonRangers]

i dried some rocky boots in the sun and the glue turned loose and soles fell off

 

[Athos]

Ha, I assumed they were Rocky hence my post about Muck.

I like the Lacrosse Agility. They have a snake proof version of the Agility also, you need to check the box. I put a lot of miles on them, they’re comfortable and water proof. Keep them out of the sun while in storage, leave them in the bed of your truck ir in a carport and they will crack. You would have to catch me at a red light before you could even throw a pair of Rocky anything in my truck. About all of the s made in China tho.

Only brand of rubber boots well made are Le Chameau. they aint cheap either

 

[WishboneW]

Boggs boots for me

 

[Danuwoa]

I wear Chippewa snake boots no matter what kind of hunting I’m doing.
