I have been bit twice without snake proof boots
bit once with them on, BUT I was stomping a cottonmouth so the bites were no surprise.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Once while wearing snake boots and once while wearing snake chaps.
Both were in Alabama.
83% of all statistics are made up.

I've been stomping around in the woods since I was 5 years old (now 45). I've encountered several snakes over the years but knock on wood, the only one that ever bit me was a King snake. He got pissy when I accidentally ran him over with a 4 wheeler while seeding fields and clamped on to my blue jeans.

I was hit in South Carolina by a moccasin . He hit me mid calf with a pair of Rockys on. Scared me to death though still. I shot him immediately after . I hate freaking snakes.

Always wear them. Never been bit just close encounters with cottonmouths ready to strike.

Only once, copperhead walking out after roosting a gobbler had snake boots on and damn glad I did. Was a mile from the truck and 30 miles to the closest hospital. Wear snake boots all of the time I am in the hunting woods. I really don't need that kind of adrenalin rush!

Never been bit (thank god). Hope to never have to test my snake boots
In your darkest hour when the demons come, call on me brother and we'll fight them together.

Had one rattle by my foot one time. I had snake boots on and the dang thing was maybe 6 inches away. Never struck at me though.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.
