Help deciding on snake boots..

[Peachcreek]

I have a pair of Chippewa pull ons they are comfortable and im on my second season with them and no leaks so far. Im in central Florida so leaks were my concern as well. They will also repair them for you if you have any problem.

I left my justins at the house when i went out of town to hunt. I bought a pair of Chippewas while i was out west. They were a little tough to break in but now are the most comfortable boot i own. I like them alot

Look up dans hunting gear on the Internet. They have some boots on there they call frog legs (hip waiters). They have a pair that a snake proof. I wouldnt trade mine for anything else.

I like the Dan boots. I have a pair of lacrosse alpha sports I have walked rice in for 3 years. Dans offers the same boots with the thigh high snake chaps attached. This is the boot I intend to buy as soon as I can.

I have some Muck brand hip boots that I really like. They cost a little more but they are comfortable and last forever

I've had my chippewas for maybe four to five years now . I wore out the original sole and took them to the redwing store and had them put on the same soles that I use on my redwing work boots. I believe this cost me somethin like $40.00 .. But can't really remember . Im not sure how they'd act in a swamp tho if your standing in water for a long time. I try and get across water as quick as I can and my feet always end up dry with these boots.
If your calfs are too large which I herd is a common complaint on these boots . I've herd where people have takin them to a shoe smith and they split the back then sew it up wider.




Hope this helps you in whatever boots you buy

Thanks

The style number on my boots is 23913 .. On their website it says they aren't waterproof , I'm not sure if they changed them up in the time that I've bought mine.

^ these right here they say are waterproof.

I bought mine at Carter's Country but I bet you can get a better price somewhere else.
http://www.chippewaboots.com/retailers
^ here's a zip code / retail finder

Ohh by the way the break in proces was a pain but once broken in they worked great for me. At that time I didn't know about stuff you can put on leather to help break in boots . So that might cut down break in time.

Hope that helps some

You like how I incorporated peewees name in the boot? Lol

Ive not tried the Chippewa or Justins yet, but I can tell you, Rocky, redheads are pure junk! The Rocky are light and comfortable but wont last a month if they get wet. I'm on my second pair of danner pronghorns, toughest boots ive owned. I put tons of miles on a pair of boots in some rough country. The only problem I have with them is after about a year the gortex lining wears and they start to leak. But other than that they're hard to beat and well worth the money.

Yea running through the piney woods and a snake biting you is not worth the risk when you can at least protect your legs with some boots. I don't own any now but fully intend on buying some. As you stated if nothing else for peace of mind

[Peachcreek]

Hey bloke google rattlesnake bite and take a gander. I will wear my snake boots thank you.... i think they do a little bit more than make you sick.

I don't care what kind of snake it is I don't wanna get bit by it. Poisonous or not lol! I'd rather go face to face with a 400 lb boar hog with 6in blades ;D (slight exaggeration)

I think you said your in south Fl. So you may be familiar with Ocala. There is a store called Russells Western wear. Thats where I got mine. But I have seen them at other Western boot stores.

Been through ocala a time or two.  Bout three ish hours from me, spend more in gas than to buy the boots..  lol

These are the boots we wear in south Louisiana. We use them for hunting, walking rice, walking crawfish ponds, etc. The ankle fit design lets you wear them all day without slipping on the heel causing blisters.
They are non insulated which is what you want in south Louisiana or south Florida. This boot has been around
since the 60's.  I usually get 2 yrs. out of them walking and working crawfish ponds and levees. If I cleaned
them after use they probably would last longer. And yes many of cotton mouths have hit these boots through the years without penetrating the rubber. The new Lacrosse boots look better but these are the ones for working and all day walking.

Sorry, forgot to put link to above described boots.
