Is there really such a thing as waterproof snakeboots? I have had a few pairs and all of them leaked. If any of yall have had long term success at any kind will you please post what kind. Thanks
I had several pairs of Rocky snake boots in the past that didn't leak for more than two springs each. I currently have a pair of Danner Pronhorn snake boots, this will be my 2nd spring with them so I can't say how long they will be waterproof.
I've got a pair of Rockies with a Gore Tex liner. Fourth season wearing them and so far they haven't leaked.
My Lacross did not leak for the first few years but I am on like year 7 with them and well, not 100% dry anymore
I just got a pair of Danners as well, but kinda wish I would have gotten the Muck Woody Armor for that reason

Muck Woody Armor boots were not what they were cracked up to be in my experience. They got extremely hot in spring season down here in GA, and halfway through their second season the back of the heel on both boots developed several small horizonal cracks. Four days of hunting later, both boots leaked like a sieve. That wound up my business with Muck boots. Currently using a pair of Lacrosse snakeboots that have been through two seasons, and still dry so far.
I had a pair of Rockys that leaked after about a week of hunting. Against my advise my son got a pair of Rockys and his leaked from the get go. I think you could spit near them and have wet feet.
I have had very good luck with the Cabelas snakeboots with the zipper in the front. Had them for 4 seasons and they have a bunch of miles on them. Each year, I spray them with waterproofer and ready to go again. No wet feet yet.
Good Luck and God Bless

Are you talking about the ones that look like Irish Setters? I've had about 6 pair of Rockies. THEY ARE GOING TO LEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its just a matter of when.
lacrosse Alpha Burleys won't leak and are snake proof enough for me.
I have a pair of Cabelas lace-ups with a Gor-tex liner that held up well with no leaks. I don't have to wade swamps and ditch's like some guy's though, just jump a few creeks walk through wet grass fields in the morning. The main reason I bought them is because I HATE THEM 'OL COPPERHEADS.
I have a pair of Rocky (first year they came out) and they are getting long in the tooth, but so far no leaks.
I have tried them all and now am looking at the the bogs copperhead boots ,heard some good things about them. They are for mild to cool temp and are snakeproof, you might want to investigate them!!!
Don't think there is such a snake boot that don't leak, I have tryed several and they all leak after the first year if not before.
Just picked up a new pair of Danner's, so ask me agina in bout 3 months, or ask BowHowdy, he is probly as hard on a pair as anyone I know
Rocky's for the first couple of years but after that no.......my problem is most of the time i get in water deeper them the boots are tall. ::)
BOGS boot .com offers a great waterproof snake boot ..style name is COPPERHEAD ..
I took the advice from a buddy & got a pair of danners. They are worth the extra money for comfort & they are waterproof from our experience in Louisiana
old leather danner (tan colored) are great, not sure about the new ones they are making.
So far so good with my danner pronghorns.
I got a pair of Danner Jackals, and have had them for 3 or 4 years, they now leak, however they've covered many a mile and have served me well. This year I bought a pair of Danner Pronghorns and have been trying to break them in. Did you guys have problems with them rubbing the back of your leg above the achiles tendon? I've put quite a few miles on them and they are still very uncomfortable to me.
One thing I do with a new pair of snake boots is put 2 or 3 coats of Kiwi Camp Dry water repellent spray on them. Combined with the Gore Tex liners, maybe that's why I don't have a problem with leaking so far.
So far so good with my LaCrosse snake charmers :you_rock:
