Snake Boots revisited

[Swamp Rat]

I'm needing to replace my snake boots. I was looking at the Irish Setter Vaptrex boots at Sportsmans Warehouse today - they didn't have my size - but was impressed by the light weight. Do any of you have any experience with these? I want light, comfortable, durable, and waterproof.

I've worn out my Rocky's and my shoe size has changed anyway. But I'll entertain info and opinions on any boots that are under about $225 (in other words, no Russells).

Your price point isn't going to get you much.. especially durable and waterproof.

Go up at least one notch and buy a pair of Chippewas. You can find them for $279 + Shipping, etc.

My Danners have outlasted every pair of snake boots that I have used. They are also light and comfortable.

I had some Danners - the Gore-Tex liners pulled out like socks and they started leaking. The Rocky's I've grown out of leak as well.

I have the Cabelas brand Boa’s with the knob on the back that tightens the wire (instead of traditional laces or a zipper). Very comfortable and light weight and still waterproof after a few years of swamp hunting. Easy on and off as well.

The Rocky Low Country’s are great boots and on sale.

Guess I am lucky. Mine don’t leak.......yet. Probably had them for about 10 years. Pretty worn now.

I love my Danners, most comfortable snake boot I've ever owned. They have not leaked yet.

Gotta say, I’ve had my Danner Sharptails for well over ten years and they are going strong as well. Light, waterproof and comfortable.

I don’t wear snake boots anymore but when I did my danners were hands down best I’d owned

I’ve got Chippewa and the LaCrosse Arrowhead, the Chippewas are much lighter and cooler but the Arrowheads are better for the constant wet conditions we’re having in the woods right now. Rubber boots are necessary if you’re wading half the time you walk into a stand.

Got those exact boots. Leaked from day 1. Started coming apart where the toe meets the foot and bends. They're also not comfortable to walk long distances in. As they say, "Would not recommend to a friend."

Bc when a snake bites G it's already dead whether it knows it or not!!

Danner Sharptails

Buy the Russell's, spend the money once and cry once.

[hightech1953]

I have two pair of Danners and neither pair leaks

What size?

[WoodieSC]

I’m about to post two pair in the TP...

1. NIB (only worn in the house to test the size) Danner Sharptail pull-on in 10EE

2. Lightly used, but in excellent condition pair of Chippewaw leather pull-on in 10D. The length fits like a 10.5, the width fits like a D, and the heel fits loose. Not waterproof other than Snow Seal, etc. Soles are like new.

I’ve got a pair of Chippewa bison leather snake boots. They will still be around when I die. They’re an extra hundo over normal Chippewa, but they’re legit
