Help deciding on snake boots..

[rdjustham]

If got an old pair of rubber snake boots and im tired of them chewing up my feet.  This time of year in South Florida the snake are out in force, and there is water EVERYWHERE.  Im looking for a new pair of waterproof snake boots and after reading all the reviews on the different ones on line im lost.  I like the looks of the danner pronghorns and jackals i saw on line, but they are pricey.  Ive looked at both the cabelas ones on line and the bass pro ones in the store and gotta say im not overly excited about the bass pro brand.  I tried on the ones at bass pro and i need to stay away from sip up only because i had to go up almost two and a half sizes to get my calfs to fit, and that was with wearing shorts.

So all that being said what do you guys wear, and some pros and cons.  And waterproof is a must in the swamps of south florida, so chaps and gaiters are out, it couldnt be that easy/cheap could it..

Glad you posted this cuz I'm wondering the same. I been looking at the Game Winner wrangler waterproof snake boots they are $100 and the reviews I read are really good on them. I'm probably gonna go with them. http://m.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_597124_-1__true?color=Realtree+Xtra&N=891782425&Ntt=Snake+boots&Ntk=All

I have those exact pair of boots and they started leaking within a couple months.  Pretty comfortable and light tho. 

[halfbreed]

  did they wear out at the bend in your foot sdogs  .  that where my high dollar lacrosses wore out in a matter of weeks . if you get the cordura boots you have to keep spraying them with the water proofing or they leak and I think that spray rots the material lol .

Look at Rocky boots.com. I've had mine for two years and no leak that I know of. I don't live in swamp. These lace in the front and zip on the side. So you can adjust them to the size of your calf. Plus you can get them tight enough to keep stuff from going down in them. I love mine I can run hogs all night. They are comfortable. They are the pro light mobu side zipper. There are about 10 different ones to chose from.

For the money I get the red head lace-ups.  They hold up good and come in wide and u can get them over my calf.  Wait till they have a sale and you can get them for 89-99.

I bought a pair of justin snake boots from academy about a year ago. They have held up really well and are water proof.

I have had two different styles of the Game Winner snake boots... Both are junk. Bought the ones with zippers first and the zippers broke in a couple hunts and they leak. Bought the wranglers and they leaked on the third trip out. They are light and comfortable but cheap made leaking boot

I dont like rocky boots.  I bought a pair of heavy insulated boots for bow hunting in NY and after two trips (20 days of use total) they fell apart so they lost my buisness, really expected more out of a 200 dolalr pair of boots.  Luckily Bass pro refunded me on them.  I had an old pair of non insulated red head 50 boots that lasted me almost 5 years of hunting in GA and i beat the snot out of them.  The red head brand lace up boots are on sale right now but wouldnt you know it they dont have my size 

Hadnt seen the justin boots.  ill give them a look.

Yeah if I remember correctly that's where it was leaking.  Hard to tell because they were still new but it was somewhere along the seams on the sole.

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.

[rdjustham]

i should also add im going to use these boots for everything from runnin dogs to using a climber stand, so western style is kinda out for me.

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.
