Snake boots are a lot less expensive than anti-venin treatment.
And WAAY less painful. That aint no lie! Inssurance paid a $42,000 bill for mine. Never worn them. Got bit on the inner thigh by a Cotton Mouth, about 2 inches from the jewels, was just above my waders. I survived that, took 1 hour 45 to get to hospital, then 6 days in the hospital. Worst pain I'd ever experienced, I don't wish it upon anybody I'm assuming you waded too close to something it was laying on? Nope, riding my ATV in deep water following 2 other ATV's. He washed up over my front rack, around my handle bars and into my lap. He bit right as I was reaching for him. I death gripped him and he let go, he went with me to the hospital, still in a death grip but dead. Hospital staff had a conniption when I walked in

My nephew got bit 2 years ago by a cottonmouth. Only one fang got in his ankle. That sucker swole up bad.
He was rushed to the hospital and made it out fine with a full recovery.
I wore boots before that but now I always wear them suckers if I'm out.
I can't tell you how many snakes I have come across out in the country.

This past weekend at my lease consisted of shorts and tennis shoes. I may buy snake boots or chaps, those dang cactus thorns hurt.

I prefer thigh high snake chaps... They seem to work great! Plus I like the extra protection!

I wear my snake boots year round. I like to think it helps with chiggers too but I'm not sure.
