I usually wear rubber boots turkey hunting. I hunt areas that can experience some high water at times. I use to own a pair of Irish setter snake boots that were about 16” high - lace up. They were comfortable but not water proof in the least. The sole separated from the base of the shoe after year two. For those of you that have purchased snake boots, what do you recommend? I like the idea of the turtle skins, just not sure how I would go about the water- probably have to find alternate paths. I’ve had a couple run ins lately that have made me think about it. I’m not trying to spend $400 on a pair of boots. What say you?
