I have Chippewa's. I hate 'em!
Be sure to get some lighter weight boots & with an easy off-on arrangement like zippers. My Chippewa’s have a full length zipper on the back. Easy on and off. And they can be resoled.

If you already have hunting boots you like I think snake-proof gators may be an option. Just a thought - I've no experience with them.

Twisted X Snake BootsThese are the most comfortable snake boots that I have found, but they are over $200.

I had a pair of Red Head for 9 years and a pair of Ricky's for the last 3. Both have done very well.

My favorite is the Danner Pronghorn zip up/lace up. I caught mine on sale for $235. Well worth the price and never had a leak but I use Danner's waterproof gel on them. x2. Very happy with the same boot. Extremely comfortable right out of the box and much lighter weight than I expected. Find a pair on sale and it'll be worth the $40-$50 extra.

I wouldn't buy Rocky snake boots. I have them. While comfortable, they are NOT waterproof at all despite the claims by Rocky as being waterproof. I actually returned the 1st pair to Rocky because they leaked profusely even going through wet grass. To Rocky's credit, they did send me a new pair. But, they are the same. My feet get soaked anytime there is any moisture on the ground.
I have a 15 year old pair of Chippewa's that my oldest son has used the last few years. Those are great boots. Comfortable, durable, and a classic look.

I have Chippewas and Justin’s.
The chips are a tad more comfortable...the Justin’s look way better and less people have them so I prefer the Justin’s
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I like the Twisted X boots, they fit me better than any others that I have had.

Just got a pair of Irish Setter Vaprtrek snake boots last year, and they are hands down the most comfortable snake boot on the market. They are extremely light, and seem to actually be waterproof! No break-in required....they were comfortable right out of the box. Time will tell how they hold up, but I am very pleased with them so far.

I have a pair of Rocky's too. While they are very comfortable and seem to be holding up pretty well to Carta Valley rock, my ankles will itch like a SOB for 2-3 days after wearing them for any length of time. And they've done that since new. I'm also on the hunt for a new boot
