^^^^^^^^^^^ Yup!

And if South Texas is as warm as it was here today (79 Degrees, no kidding), you just might need snake boots.

Alright. Alright. What I mean is... Is one style more comfortable than another -- pull on vs zipper back, moccasin toe vs square toe, leather upper vs cordura?

I have been wearing a pair of Danner for several seasons.. The leather isn't as good as Chippewa, but they are comfortable and the tops are longer. And I picked them up on sale which was a plus... They are lace up, easy on easy off.

Justins. Without a doubt.


If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.

Im from south tx and hunt it all the time. For comfort the rocky boots are like sneakers when i quail hunt and walk alot i wear those. Any other time its my chips. The chips are hands down best made and most durable, but id say pure comfort i give rocky the nod.i will say i took a brand new pair of rockies to colorado for an elk hunt. By the time i hot top of mountain the sole came clean off. I was pissed, but it was a lemon. Ive had 3 pairs of the same rockies, and only that one has failed, but at worst time. Only reason i get new boots is im paranoid the snake protection wears out with use. Ymmv

Other irregular Chips were running about $105. Mine had just been on the shelf a long time, and had some handling marks, scratches, etc.

Of course, they had top grade Chips pretty close to their retail prices too, $249-369.

I am a quail dog handler, so my boots get quite a workout per season. I have been wearing the same pair of Danners for the past 6 seasons. I find them quite comfortable, and because of my big calves, much easier to get into than pull-on boots. I will not tell you they are still completely waterproof, but I keep them oiled, and they turn water well enough.
