For those who haven't followed my thread in the lounge, I had a probable snake bite the other day on my hand. Doing fine, if it was a snake, it probably didn't inject much venom. Anyway, I'm thinking about getting a pair of snake boots for the times I'm in the woods photographing and hunting. The Timberlands I bought a few years back are still going strong, although they are showing wear. Anyway, I may be more comfortable now with something that provides snake protection.
I would prefer to buy local, so I can look at them and try them on. There are a couple boot stores in town, and already told my buddy that we are going boot shopping on our go out to lunch day this week. Any suggestions?

Re: Snake boots?
Why would a snake want boots? They don't have any legs. Hsss, booo.

That's why snake oil went out of business. Nobody wants to oil a snake these days.

Re: Snake boots?
You might save some money by just getting some gaiters. I've considered them for up here at the cabin.
Glad you're ok after the bite!

Re: Snake boots?
I have had a pair of calf high snake boots that I bought from Herters since the late sixties . They are very thick leather and I always wore them when hunting in Florida and Ga. If I kept them greased up they would enable me to wade shallow water and still have dry feet, Most likely they were made by Redwing. Still have them and they still fit.I came very close to trying them out in Arkansas but my 870 took care of the Cotton Mouth first.

Re: Snake boots?
I don't know anything about snake boots. I've heard of them, but I don't think I've ever seen any.

Cheaper than boots, and waterproof.
