I’ve worn rubber boots in the mountains before, they are ok walking less than a mile total, but past that get some better boots. They offer no support side hilling, they usually have thicker soles and taller heels, so it’s easy to roll an ankle, and the fit is usually slightly on the sloppy side, so your foot slides out of the heel cup going downhill and you get a lot of friction on your toes. They are basically blister machines in steep country, especially down billing. Not sure if a snake can bite through them or not, I would say probably not on the rubber lower, but the neoprene upper they certainly could. Y’all ever seen Turtle Skin snake gaiters? I would wear those and some stiffer mountain boots in the hills.What is every ones thoughts on Muck boots do you think a snake can bite you through them? Im aware Muck boots aren't the best choice in the mountains.
