re: Snake bite through boots?

Yeah I think they are mostly a gimmick. I almost stepped on a 5+ foot rattler last spring Turkey hunting with my dad and the best part was I said “oh shite” and stepped back and he kept walking and almost stepped on it and I was just rolling at that point. So now he bought me snake boots. I’ve never felt the need and I’m not that excited to wear them as I usually walk a lot and they are gonna be hot.

But I think as said it’s more a why not just be safe? As far as a snake biting through boots go, I think I’ve seen some YouTube vids where they say it would have to be like a perfect strike to go through and affect you.

Remember only like 50% or strikes even get venom released at the right time. So for a snake to do that after going through your boot and sock and then skin? Doubtful.
