I have never owned a pair of Chippewas and considering going with them this year. Be a man of principle. Fight for what you believe in. Keep your word. Live with integrity. Be brave.

I not only use mine for turkey hunting but I wear them cruising timber before I do understory burning and checking for cogon. So mine have some miles on them. I've had a couple pairs of rocky, redhead, and lacrosse, 2 seasons is about all I could get before one of the boots would start leaking.

Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time. NRA Life Member

Also some Lacrosse Alpha4X snake boots. Both are good. I lust after the leather Danner lace-up boots but don't need another pair.

This is true and the sad part is they use to be really good snake boots. Stay away from Redheads. Buddy ha a pair and the sole came off of one with less than 1 years use.

The mid to cheap Chippewa's are made in China like everything else. BTW I really like my crappy Rocky snake boots...

The Chippewa boots were tough but heck to break in. Then Russell's are as good as it gets when it comes to snake boots but they're pricey. But they are 100% American made and can be resoled, restitched, and repaired. So they'll outlast anything else you're gonna find. Plus they're custom built to your personal feet measurements so they feel great. Sent leaning against a big oak in knee deep water

I found these and really like them!! And when your not in the woods and back at the truck you can easily take them off to cool down before going into another spot!! http://www.cabelas.com/product/FOREVERLAST-SNAKE-GUARD-CAMO-SHIELDS/1913640.uts?searchPath=%2Fbrowse.cmd%3FcategoryId%3D734095080%26CQ_search%3Dsnake%26CQ_st%3Db#tabsCollection
