I need to get a pair, and not sure where to turn. Honestly never really worried about it until a show on TV, and then the guy in MS, revealed how much it costs for anti venom. Now I'm on high alert!!!

All I ever wear in the woods except waterboots if it's wet.

I came across these Rocky Maverick 17" snake boots on sale a few years ago and bought them because the deal was so good (like $25.99 I want to say).
I mostly wear Lacrosse od green rubber boots though...

Serious question...How high do snakes usually strike on the leg, and do you think they would pop thru a pair of Redwing work boots? That's what I generally wear in the woods and that leather is pretty thick and seems tough.

Luckily, simple measures such as high top leather boots, looking before sitting or placing your hands anywhere, and giving visible snakes a wide berth will prevent almost all bites. Greater than 90% of snake bites occur on the legs and snakes can not bite through heavy leather. Strong leather boots are a sensible precaution when hunting in snake country. Most bites to the hands and arms occur when someone is handling the snake. This is easily avoided!

Anyone have any experience with these and can comment on how waterproof they are? Can you wear these instead of traditional rubber boots?
