I got a pair of chips and have owned several pair...they are not waterproof at all...maybe keepem dryish in heavy dew. The waterproof chips aint even that waterproof. Something else to note about them, they have several models but only like 2-3 styles are made in usa. The originals are and thats what mine are....i wouldnt have their china boots...not the same quality. The waterproof chips are ching changs...decent boots...but still...im strugglin with givin a chicom any of my money ever again. Id bout just aa soon do without.

I'll never buy another pair of snake boots. I'm gonna get some Turtle skinz leggings.

Mully, are those waterproof, if not how “water resistant “ are they?
The last 5 hunts I have hunted pastures with plenty of creeks we use for slipping around. I have kept the boots submerged in water for an average of probably 30min per hunt plus just regular dew and I have yet to get wet feet. My chips are the non waterproof but I put some mink oil on them right before season. My huntin partner has the same boots that are two years old and his arent leaking and he hasnt done chit to his. That's all I can tell you. It seems like some folks feet get soaked but so far mine have not.

2015 was my first season in my Chippewas. I'd hate to know how many miles I had on them, but they're still going strong. My feet did start getting wet mainly walking in tall grass with dew a couple of years ago. I started putting a heavy coat of Sno Seal on them once or twice a year and that solved that problem too. I won't buy anything else.

I’ve been wanting Chippewas for a while..... I just haven’t dropped the money on them yet.

This year I finally decided to buy some. I wear them over some uninsulated muck boots. The most comfortable snake boot you will wear...

I wear comfortable boots and the turtleskins at work. Pretty good combo for hard walking all day.

Saw one the THP guys wearing a boot called Dry Shod. Looked it up, they have hunting, work wear, etc. They do have a snake boot as well. Anybody familiar with these?

Got some Chippewas this year and really like them. Only negative is not a lot of ankle support if you are side-hilling
