Rubber boots/snake proof?

[Silent Assassin]

The "Average cost" of medical treatment for snake bite is $25000.00.

Now that will put some serious perspective over a $100.00 boot for protection! Fo sho! Lol. Thank you for that. I appreciate it.

I do have a snake boot but not a waterproof. Never thought I'd need it and the boot itself says waterproof but I highly doubt it is a fully waterproof. It's gonna leak and not keeping my feet dry during the hunt. It's a Cabelas brand. Just regular snake boot. Maybe if I spray it with a waterproof the heck out of it but will still leak through the tongue. If u know what I mean.

I got a pair of these and they are a good boot for the money. Hopefully I'll never have to test out how snakeproof they are but they do repel mequite thorns quite nicely

I've had cactus thorns go through my rubber boots so I'm skeptical that they would stop a direct hit from a snake fang.

Would not trust a rubber boot to stop fangs. Slow them down, but not stop them.

rubber boots will not stop all/some/most snake bites, dependant on the size of the snake and where the snake hits the boot.

I was bitten in 1985 by a rattler, fangs went thru my rubber boot like a hot knife thru butter. One fang penetrated my calf. So I got 50% protection.....

Wear the snake boots...

I can tell you ive been struck a few times by cottonmouths wearing regular lacrosse rubber boots. Never got thru to skin but I did have a wet spot once where the venom got thru just a tad.

That wet spot would be from the pee runnin down my leg

They'll work.Regular boots and even shoes will stop a snake bite too.You just don't want to get hit above the ankle if you're wearing shoes.

Tell that to Chad Cross

Spray the waterproofing on the boots you have. Your feet will dry if they get wet and you will be better protected. The waterproofing will be your least expensive option. Oh, don't walk in the lake!!!!!! That could help too!!!!!!
Keep in mind most snake bites will be above the ankle.

You could stuff the tops with newspaper!

Have fun, be safe and kill some stuff!!

Those are uncomfortable, and you can get the Academy Defender II for the same price.

Dang! A mixed reviews and opinions! Makes it tough on me. Lmao! Well, I guess I can try using waterproof spray and lace it tight and try not to walk in water. I have no idea what it looks like over there! Never been there at all. Mike said to bring rubber boot so...I figure since a boat ride into his spot and walking through marsh or something. I guess I gotta keep asking Mike all the questions! Lol.

He may say dang all the $20,000? Just because of snake! Lmao.

I'd have a wet spot too. On the front of my pants from peeing myself!

You could get a rubber boot for the boat ride, and when you get out, then put on your snake boots . I used to do similar when deer hunting. One boot for deer hunting, and one boot for the boat ride. Now, I just wear rubber boots most of the time.
