Snake Boots???

Well, I bought a pair of both!

My Danners came in and just didnt fit so I sent them back for a different size. I needed a pair in a bad way so I went down and tried on a pair of Chippewa's # 23913.

I have been hunting in them about a dozen times now and I love them. The break in time was nothing. My 1st hunt with them I remember thinking "these boots hurt like heck and I aint gonna be able to finish this hunt!" An hour later and after catching a little boar in a pond, they were fine. Walking in them all day will not be a problem.
I have been hunting on my mule full time here lately and my Chippewa 23913's are almost perfect for the saddle. I say almost because the buckle kind of gets in the way of my spur straps but I figured out how to make it work. Other than that, I am not disappointed in the least.

My Danners are in and they fit much better than my last pair. When I get them broke in and make a dozen or so hunts in them I will give you a report. I am hoping to get the same results out of them that you guys have. I can already tell that they will not be as practical for saddle stirrups as my Chippewa's but the quality is obvious and I can see that they will probably hold up longer than my Chippewa's. Only one way to find out for sure though! The only complaint I have so far is that I cant find a store anywhere around Houston that sells the Danner model I am interested in! Strike One! Its no big deal unless you have weird feet like I do.

Thanks again for the link "cull buck".
