Best Snake Boot

[Terry]

I know Basspro Shop has the Danner snake boot on sale for $99, and Cabela's has the Chippewa on sale for $159, ignoring the cost difference, which boot would you select and why

thanks

Well, neither. I'd buy the Redhead side zip snake boot. I've had a pair for years and it's the most comfortable pair of boots I've ever had. I wear it even when I'm not worried about snakes. I even bought another pair when they were on sale a couple years ago and just leave a pair at each ranch.

i second doc on the redheads. i have the lace ups though. 100 bucks at bass pro. and no break in needed i am in rough country alot and am never uncomfortable. and they are 600 gram insulated. they are a pain to put on and off though. 16 inches tall and a whole lotta laces.

I agree with TD but between those two, I would go with the chip pull ons. Tying snake boots is for the BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad ya said that Doc, I just ordered a pair of the Red Head side zip Saturday!

Amen on the "tying snakeboots". I've had two pair of lace ups and even with the military lace technique, they're a pain to lace and a pain to get on and off, especially compared to the zip ups.

I have a pair of both boots and I perfer the Chippewa by far, hands down they are extremely comfortable...and a lot lighter than those danners.

yea dont buy the laceups. wish i hadnt but oh well. they are great after the pain of gettin em on. the readhead brand is cheap and great. and i have never heard bad news about the chips either.
