Is there any good snake boots that are actually waterproof all the way up to the knee?

Rocky has their rubber muck style snake boots on sale this weekend but they seem to have horrible reviews of falling apart after short times of use! Anybody tried these? I really wanted to try them but after reading all the bad reviews I don’t know! I’m in ab my 8th season on my current pair of Field and Stream lace ups that should have been retired a year or two ago!

I have some Rocky’s that are dated but have held up great and water proof until you submerged them.

I wear the lacrosse rubber snake boots in wet environments. They work great.

And they all wear holes in the heels and end up giving me major blisters. No more snake boots for me.

Got a pair of the non zip twisted x. Like them a lot but would go with the zipper next time.
They were a mother to break in but now I can walk miles and miles and really like them

A waterproof snake boot doesn’t exist besides the lacrosse boots. I’ve had a pair of them, but can’t wear them due to wide feet. They are the most uncomfortable boots I’ve ever put on for me personally.

I wore the first pair I had out, but, they were 6 years old and went through early deer season, squirrel, scouting, turkey hunting, etc. they had a lot of miles on them.

My Irish Setters are currently waterproof but it required some Shoe Goo in a couple spots and yearly treatment with Sno-Seal.

If someone could actually build a waterproof snake boots they would have a gold mine. My guess is they would need to be Goretex lined making them hot.

Just get a pair of Lacrosse Grange and some gaiters. I quit wearing snake boots about 10 years ago for all of the reasons listed above.

I love my snake boots. They’re very comfortable and I get several years out of them. I wear them turkey hunting and bowhunting. I even wear them out West. No wet feet for me, either.

I love my Irish setter lace ups but they are not 100%waterproof. I dowse them down real good with snow seal and they'll handle everything but steady walking in above your ankle water. To me the comfort is worth dodging deep water.

I have 3 pair

Chippewa snake boots- 4 years
Hard to break in. Will randomly rub a blister on my heel. Still waterproof.

Muck wetland snake pro- 2 years
Waterproof but stiff and heavy

Lacrosse rubber snake boots- couple months
Most comfortable out of the box snake boot I’ve owned.

Danner lace ups, such as the pronghorns, still leak. I’ve got two pair and they both started leaking once they were broken in.
