Bought a pair of rocky long range snake boots from cabelas a couple of weeks ago. Best snake boot ive tried, and ive tried a lot of them. They were on sale for $140 (normally 220).

Wow, didn't know this would turn into such a heated thread on here - ha! BUT, here's why I posted it; like 'em or not, I'm a fan of a rubber boot for turkey hunting, and LaCrosse has been my go-to for deer hunting... Every pair of "snake boots" I've ever tried have been GREAT in the beginning, & then the waterproofing wears off (both my high-$$ Chippewa's & Irish Setters did this)...
Has anyone tried the Lacrosse snake boots on here? If so, how did they work out for ya? That's the other option I personally am looking at, and they're even cheaper than the Muck's... I've had my Muck's 10 years & have never had a problem with them, btw, but ... Can't say that I've been extremely rough on 'em either...

I've come to the conclusion that your not going to find a boot that will last for very long anymore because they are all made oversea's. Even a lot of Danner's are imported now. Now if you wear them ever now and then, then they'll last a long time, but if you wear them turkey hunting, bow hunting,rabbit hunting, and doing habitat work, then they are going to take a beating. I've decided to buy a new set thats on sale about every 3-4 years.

it ain't hard to beat mucks quality, my last pair lasted 6 months.... x2 Maybe good for going from the golf cart to the shooting house.  Climbing mtns and wading cutovers those things are pure junk. The top part of mine was torn to pieces half way thru their first season.

BGD I've been wearing the Lacrosse rubber snake boot for about 3 years. I've developed a small leak in one of them this bow season. They've been a good boot. I've put alot of miles on them in the hills and bottomlands.

They actually had a snake boot before called Woody Armor, stopped making them and now coming out with the cool version. I've got a pair of the previous ones I'm not a big fan off. They pretty much sit in my garage. The woody armor was never marketed as a "snake boot". It was only marketed as "puncture resistant" (think briars, sticks, etc). I almost bought a pair but didn't for that reason.

How on earth do yall get 4 years out of a pair of boots? Short answer: multiple pair of boots. I don't "wear out" just one pair - much to my wife's disappointment. Depending on the conditions & the area I hunt, I might wear one pair of boots over another.

Mucks are ok but I'm still waiting on a warranty claim with that bunch.
Had to have some so I went with Bogs, personally seen a friend of mine swap a pair of Bogs in for a brand new pair. No questions asked.

How on earth do yall get 4 years out of a pair of boots? x2 Brent. I just plan on wearing a pair out every 2 years. Knock on wood I'm on the third year with my boas. But I don't look for them to last till next season.

If the whole fiasco was an accident by an employee of Muck then Muck corporate could have came out and shown their support for any number of organizations that support the outdoors; they did not do so nor did they publicly denounce PETA and their kind. Therefore I won't spend my money with them.

How on earth do yall get 4 years out of a pair of boots? I usually only get about 2 years before they go to leaking, and by the 3rd year the bottoms are coming off.
