ROCKYMen's Rks0232 Knee High Boot

initial impressions are very good. like these so far, but have not hunted in them as yet. this is the first pair of actual "snake boots" that I've owned.I cannot at all support the numerous reviews herein that mention buying a half/one/two sizes larger. perhaps Rocky noted/corrected the issue at some point? I ordered my regular size and they fit quite well. I did order a wider size accommodate heavy winter socks and/or two layers of socks in cold weather and it's going to be just the right amount of extra room for me. the fit on the calves at the top is also very nice, not too tight nor too loose for my tastes. the zippers are also fine; I could see impatience being an issue with them holding up as it's a 16" pull. these zips feel about like the Rockys I wore at Ft. Lewis/Ft. Bragg.the color is a bit darker than pics online, IMO - which is good for me. I'll be in swampy woods most of the time, very verdant green w/dark brown woods and nasty black water. even the leather is a darker brown than it seemed to me on amazon. they are also lighter than I'd thought - yet another plus. as far as waterproof, I think that they'll be fine for reasonable expectations of a zip-up boot. TBH, around here if you're wanting to stay 100% dry all day in the woods and you aren't in waders, you're operating more so with hope than you are a plan.I cannot find anything to complain about with these boots; will update this review if that were to change. for $130, if you think that you have found better snake boots - I'd advise anyone to definitely go on and grab 'em immediately. otherwise, so far I can recommend these puppies.

I got these "Snake Boots" mainly to replace some old zip up shin style snake guards that I wore to weed eat my property. We have copperheads (poisonous), but I don't see them when I'm doing my yard work. However, the boots always block the high speed grass, weeds, and other debris that flies toward my legs when I am doing some serious weed eating. These are easier to get on that to remove; that's probably because I'm 71 years old and have never had a lot of flexibility ... but they definitely serve the purpose. The are somewhat expensive, but having steel toes and being waterproof, I believe they will last a very long time.

Durable for hunting.

I am not one to write reviews very often, but am so impressed with this product I felt the need to write. Having to order a boot to protect oneself from venomous snakes is not a pleasant purchase, but is needed. I cannot say if they will protect from a venomous pair of fangs, but I can say they are surprisingly comfortable. True to fit of the listed size and the zipper up the medial side makes for easy ingress and egress. The toe and heels is solid and cannot conceive of a snake biting through either. The rest of the boot is a firm, thick but pliable material that I can only hope will keep out fangs. Price is outstanding. If they keep me safe, they are quite a good buy.

They would be a good option for someone a little taller. I’m 5’2” and they hit about mid knee. Too high to bend comfortably. Also the bulky inside zipper rubbed significantly on one side. Would be fine if pants tucked in. The shaft was flexible and more comfortable than the other snake boot I was comparing it to. Both boots were size 8. The Rocky boot was 8W. I normally wear a 7 1/2. This size 8W was massive. I’d say they run big.
