I will never own another pair of these leaking arse boots. I bought a pair of High Ground boots 2 years ago and had to send them back as soon as I got them as one was an 11.5 and the other was a 12.5. Boots leaked from the get go. Sprayed them with waterproof spray and they still leaked. Sent those back and got a new pair. We're ok to start with but I sprayed with waterproofing spray anyway. Olcountry has a pair too and we spent the last 4 days in MO with wet ass feet!!! Do not waste your money on these boots unless you want to have wet socks. Looking for recommendations on non leaking boots. My buddy had Muck boots on and his feet stayed dry so I may go that route.

Lacrosse Aeroheads have been great for me, very comfortable and not as bulky as Muck's.

I bought a pair of the 300 something dollar danner snake boots before season started. So far they've been comfy and dry as a bone. I'm waiting patiently for them to start leaking though. Every pair of snake boots I've had eventually have

I bought a pair of the Steadfast. They have been waterproof, but the size was wrong so I sent them back. They sent me the same size, so I'm returning them. I'm gonna opt for the Lacrosse rubber snake boot. That's what I had before, but started leaking after about 3 years due to a small crack. They're the best combo of waterproofness and comfort that I've found.
Irish Setter Vapr trek are the most comfortable walking snake boot that I've ever worn. However, one leaked within a couple of outings. I'm sending these back to swap out. Irish Setter admits a design flaw with these that they are correcting. I told them that they would have the snake boot industry locked up if they could keep them waterproof and stay as comfortable.

About impossible for feet to stay dry wearing non-rubber boots...creeks, swamps, wet grass will do it...

I have a pair of Danner Pronghorn snake boots I've had for 6 years no they are not waterproof but my feet do stay dryer than wearing a muck rubber boot from my feet sweating... Part of my vest kit always includes an extra pair of socks, but that's just the old Soldier in me...

I sure hate to hear that about the Irish Setters!! Those are what I was looking at. Back to the drawing board I guess.

any goretex boot will leak given the right time and moisture. at least that has been my experience. Some are "better" than others but eventually they all will let moisture in.
like said above. I had a pair one time I could cross a creek with and stay dry. One walk through a wet field and you were soaked.

My Danners started coming apart at the seams after 2 years and I didn't do anything but turkey hunt in them. I won't buy anymore.
I bought a pair of the Meindl from Cabela's this year and they've been rock solid thus far. They are comfortable and easy to break in. We'll have to wait and see if they stand the test of time.

Wet grass hasn't made them leak. I'm gonna give them another chance because they're so comfortable.

I had the Irish setter vaptrek 2 years ago and they leaked so bought the danners this year and they leaked within 2 weeks. I wound up saying screw it and have been using my muck boots all year. If any company ever makes a truly waterproof snake boot they'll make a killing.

Chippewa!!!! Comfortable, snakeproof, waterproof! Worth the money.
The first time I wore them they hurt my feet and I was ready to get rid of them. The second time I wore them, they were broke in and comfortable. Awesome boots!
