I personally like slip on boots over lace up but that is all preference. I have a pair of Justin snake boots I got on sale for 90 dollars and I wear them all season, heck I even dove hunt in them.

They are super comfortable and being snake proof is awesome. In the winter my feet can get cold so I pack on thick wool socks, otherwise they work great.

Justin Snakeboot, but get some knee high socks.

Meindl boots mais in Germany.

made?

For early season I wear my red wing boots that I wear for farm/ranch work. I hate cold feet so I bought a pair of insulated boots last year. Don't even remember the name. I hunt in fayette county from a blind so didn't anything fancy. Just wanted to be insulated.

Yea I'm 65 so I got you!!!!!!!!!! We used Irish Setters or Red Wing Hunters back in the day!!! Was not such things as Camo, unless it was WWII surplus

Whatever you do don't get anything that cactus can get through because it will bring you to your knees in the dark and break off so when you try to pull the boot off it will catch and cause you terrific pain! Not that this happened to me!

Thanks for the awesome tip I wish u would've given me three weeks ago! Yikes!

I bought a pair of Danner Pronghorns to try and I like them but I will say they are not as good as Cabela's "Perfekt" boot from Meindl. They are not cheap but they are both comfortable and sturdy.

I have a pair of rubber boots, scent Lok and spray painted tennis shoes. I use the tennis shoes field hunting hogs at night. The rubber boots I wear during deer season. Always consider comfort and durability in your purchase. If I had to do it again I would get rid ok the Scent Lok and find something light weight

Guys, my hunting buddies call me the Imelda Marcos of hunting boots...I DON"T agree although I do have many pairs of boots. I got the moniker because a three day hunt will result in me taking at least 6 pairs of boots and well because I always change socks/boots at midday.

My personal favorite uninsulated hunting boot for early season is Danner Pronghorns (full leather.) My hands down favorite hunting boot are Meindl's (with Cabelas's label) with 400 Gram insulation (I even pheasant hunt in these boots)...I don't have a favorite snake boot, as they ALL hurt my feet, but I would AVOID the Rocky Snake boots, as they seem worse than the others. Haven't owned a pair of them Yankee snake boots though.

Heavily insulated Muck boots are great to hunt in (in areas without cactus) in really cold weather and they are very comfortable. Stay away from the entry level Muck boots ($100 at Cabelas) unless you want to bust your butt a lot, and they are miserable to hunt in. I do not like the ankle fit style rubber boots that seemed so popular a couple of years ago.

Redwing boots don't fit my feet and are very painful to me (yea I got a couple pairs, sigh). Red wings either fit your feet or they don't.

Merrell makes some really warm and dry hiking boots (ankle high) in 400 gram insulation that always go hunting with me...

I wear Meindl lightweight hikers daily.

My first observation on boots...buy the BEST pair of boots you can afford...you and your feet will thank me years from now...
