I know it's been discussed 3,000 times. I've narrowed it down to the vaprtrek snake boot or the new muck blaze cool snake boot. I really like the vaprtrek's weight but I've read they have water leak issues. I've tried on the muck pursuit snake boots and hated them but supposedly the new blaze cool are better. Any of y'all own or tried on either of these? If so what's your opinion on them

Very comfortable and light weight but I can see my sole trying to separate in places

I wore mine at work today after seeing more cottonmouths moving lately and I have zero complaints. Maybe I got a lucky pair but they broke in easy and like I say after walking in dew soaked wheat all Am my feet were still dry.

Don't get those danged muck boots. I bought those rubber snake boots two years ago and the holes are so bad on the heels that I can't wear them anymore because no matter what I do I get blisters. Spend your $200 elsewhere

I also have lacrosse venom boots...they are really lightweight but they do leak. Other than that they are good.

I actually love my mucks, as do several of my other hunting buddies. Truly waterproof knee highs that are lightweight and comfortable as well as easy. i have the armors as well as the new "true" snake boots, both of which are expresscool

They all suck and will be replaces within two years if you use them.

Has anybody tried the Ariat Conquest? I really like the looks of it. I know they make fine cowboy and work boots but there's not many reviews on these yet.

i had vapretreks 8" boot, but not the snake boot. I used them on opening weekend and came home and ordered me some more danners!!! Those trianlge rubber pieces on the vapertreks by your toes rubbed the hell out of my foot, which i do have a wide foot. Got my danners in and loving them, plenty of room!! All i will ever wear from now on for hunting!! AS far as snake protection i wear those cabelas snake gaiters. Just buckle them on and go!! And when you get back to the truck you can just unbuckle and take them right off!! Once I take them off it almost feels like air conditioning on my legs if I have sweat much.

Danner's have been the best for me, but all snake boots will require maintenance to remain waterproof unless their rubber. To me the jackals wear like a tennis shoe and are the lightest I've found but will leak over time but a good once over with snow seal and ya good to go.

Yes, I love them. I bought 2 pairs and wished I would have ordered 10 pair and put them up.

You and me both! How old are they now 3 or 4 years? When i get home from work, i put them on and use them working around the house. I stood in a creek last week for over 10 minutes clearing some brush with no leaking. Easy on, easy off. I still can't figure why they stopped making those.

They discontinued that mossy oak brush or whatever it is pattern on them. They didn't quit making he entire boot at the time of the sale from what I remember. It was only one pattern. Only complaint I can think of is the loose fitting top let's stuff fall in them sometimes, but they are easy to dump out if so.

Danner Pronghorn! Going on 10 years. Replaced strings before this season. Spray them three or four times with the camping silicone spray before each season. Good to go.
