Snake boots ???

[antharper]

I would hope he got a pair by now, this thread is from 2022.

I’m sure glad it’s kept going , I just happen to be in the market for a new pair and got plenty of ideas. I’ve worn a pair of Irish setters for about 5 years .

good luck getting more than 2 years out of them before the soles start falling off. it's a known problem with the new Rockys. I threw 2 pair in the dumpster this year and bought Lacrosse .

The oil can stand a good 10-15 minute soak walking across flood plains?

Even if they did leak, I`d rather have wet feet than a snake bit foot. Where I hunt I deal with all 6 kinds of venomous snakes. And a couple of those breeds don`t take no sass.

I wear Danner Sharptail's.

Why risk it if venomous snakes are common in your stomping grounds???



I guess everyone one has their priorities.

The best pair of snakeboots I ever had were Cabelas Pinnacle zip-ups. I wore them for YEARS and then passed them to my brother and he got several more years out of them.

Danner Pronghorns were good, Vitals have been ok.

Recently I've switched to the Lacrosse rubber snake boots though because a lot of our area is swampy and I got tired of my feet being wet. But they are hot.

Does anyone know where you can walk in and try on a pair of the Chippewa snake boots? I live in north metro Atlanta but willing to drive.

I have the Lacrosse 4x snakeboots. My original pair was all cordura and lasted 4 years. Really liked them alot. I replaced them with the newer version that has cordura and rubber. It wears good too. The best part is they don't leak which is a must during turkey season. Can't comment on if they will stop a snake bite. I sure hope they will.

cleaning up around my shop this am, and doing some weedeating in an overgrown section of the backyard, wearing my Pronghorns this morning , if they weren't so hot I'd probably wear them after I was done with yard work, they're that comfortable

I don't agree 100% with the video and wouldn't advise using cheapo 13 dollar rubber boots. The gaiters though, Turtleskins, I definately trust and those have been tested with EDB's.

A little late to the party, but a decade or so ago there was a fellow laid up in a hospital bed with leg swollen and IV's hooked up to him as he had been bitten by an EDB which penetrated muck boots. He couldn't find his snake boots that morning and wore his mucks instead. His video on FB was a public service announcement to wear snake boots and not depend on rubber boots for snake proofing.

An earlier poster, a proponent for turtleskin gaiters (I wear them with 8" Buffalo hide boots), commented that the gaiters are ballistic grade nylon. Actually nylon is laminated on a highly flexible core which offers the protection. It is a "plastic" of some sort. Their website states it is a dense blend of polyester super-tight patented weave of high-strength ballistic fibers and polyester. My first pair's outer layer finally wore out near the zippers after heavy use in briars hunting quail, woodcock and briars. I replaced them after 8 seasons. I'll be in them this Saturday on a morning dove shoot. Russell Moccassin's lightweight snake boots utilize Turtleskin in their manufacture. Gil
