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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I had to buy a new pair this year when my redhead boots soles came off. I bought the Vaportreks and love them. Feel like I am walking around in tennis shoes.

Before you commit to something, find some Chippewa waterproof briar pitstop to try on. They are a little stiff at first, but break in quickly and feel great. I'm on my 4th year with them, and so far they are holding up great and still waterproof. My only complaint would be that they don't have a very aggressive tread on bottom. https://www.chippewaboots.com/boots-and-shoes/Waterproof-Snake-Boot

They go on sale at Academy at the end of winter. I couldn't believe Academy carried them.

I climb hills in them and I get to where I need to go with them. Leaves and muddy hillsides can be a little slippery, but not enough to shy away from using the boot.

Ive got the vapretrek snakeboot i still wear them some but ive worn mine out an the ankles are collapsing, bout $200 some odd boot that lasted me about 6 months of wearing them nearly everyday. Mediocre boot at best theyre waterproof for bout 30 sec then theyre done an ur feet will get soaked but bout all lace up boots are like that. I wantvspend that much $ on them again when i could buy danners. The pronghorn is a heck of a boot, but if you didnt want a lace up i highly reccomend chipewa ORIGINALS. They had a few bad years id say probly 2010 to 2014. Tho according to the rep i talked to thats all taken care of now and i believe him. Im on my third season of hard use an they are still holding up very well. Also ive climbed up and over all kinds of terrain in south texas not to mention skyline wma i never had a problem

I bought the Rocky's from Bass Pro this week on sale for $80. They fell more comfortable and light than any other I have tried on. I have read reviews where some people said they were not water proof as stated on boot so I am going to spray a coating of silicone on them just in case.

I went with the vaprtrek's since I got such a good deal on them. So far i am liking them. Very light and comfortable. Haven't tested them for being waterproof just yet. We will see how well they hold up...

Hope you like 'em as much as I do, tho I worry about the strap and buckle, the strap seems pretty darn thin and the buckle is pretty chintzy, but I love the boots!!
