My old size 10.5 Chippewa snake boots need replacing. There's a few spots that are cracked or cut, so unless I patch those somehow I'll never get them back to anywhere near water-proof and I hate wet feet. I've gotten cactus spines in through the sides of the Chippewas and would really like to find a boot with a little more protection. I'm considering another pair of them or the Danner Sharptail Gortex snake boot. I DO NOT want a lace-up boot. I'd appreciate a review from anyone that has real world experience with the Danner, or suggestions on a different top notch pull-on boot. Thanks in advance.

they are pretty comfortable But they are very tight in the ankle and hard to get on and off (for me anyways ) even with purchasing them a size larger.
I purchased a pair of Chips with the zipper up the back and for me they are a lot more comfortable.
I have tried some Danners on and when the time comes that’s what i’ll be going to.
Edit on the Twisted X- if you have a high instep which is what I have these aren’t a good choice. I pulled them on, filled them with water and walked in them for a day in RS , then I filled 1 gallon zip locks half full and stuffed them in the boots and packed a sack of buckshot on top then froze them over night and they still are a pain . Again, this is just meLast edited by Bucknaked; 11-25-2024, 09:31 AM.Comment

The last pair of moc-toed Chips I had were the most uncomfortable boot I've ever owned. I've had a pair on pull on, zippered Rocky for the last couple years.....I'll buy them again when the time comesOriginally posted by cj7zrcool View PostComment

Most will say Chips, but I had some and they were super uncomfortable. I sold them after only a few times. I have some Irish setter lace ups that have been great. I’m due another pair. I’ll probably go something that’s not lace up this round.Comment

I've had good luck with my Justins. Twisted X doesn't have wide sizes and Danners are really narrow in the ankle. Chips just didn't last for me.Comment

Twisted X has two choices M & W but the wide aren’t like triple E’s by any meansOriginally posted by BRUTE 23 View PostComment

Ya... I'm in the Es on my width. I bought a pair of the Twisted X Ws and loved the weight and feel but they were too narrow. Ended up giving them to my son and going back to my Justins.Originally posted by Bucknaked View Post
I like tucking my justins under my jeans too. Looks just like a regular boot.Comment

Love my Lacrosse zip/lace ups !
Prob. is, they discontinued a few years back.
Tried a year ago to find a replacement, only to feel they all didn’t fit good. Not sure what to do now. Chips def felt the most uncomfortable of all.
I wear wolverine work boots all day, may just stay in those.
prob just as tough, as the ones on the market these days.Comment
