SNAKE BOOTS

[Houndstooth Game Calls]

What price were the russell boots in 2000 cause them turkey boots are $450.00 now. Wow but 13 seasons is impressive I have always liked danner boots till they quit making the boot I loved to work in. I have got a pair of danner pronghorns snake boots and they are decent but I wouldnt say I love them yes they seem to be durable boot but thats my feet ! Those russels I like but 450 is a stout price!

Let me also give my two cents for the Russell boots. Bought my first pair at the convention in 2001 have worn them every season since, and I mean worn them I hunt about 8 states a year and just over 40 days. Texas thorns, wyoming rocks, florida sand, Mississippi snakes, these boots have been through a lot. Best thing about them I can wear this boot the rest of my turkey hunting life..... I like them so much I got a pair of zephyr boots to wear everyday.

I have worn several different pairs of snake boots and the ones I am currently in are the best by far and not to bad on the wallet. They are the Cabela's Pinnacle here's a link Cabela's Pinnacle Snake Boots

I had these and loved them but eventually replaced them with the Cabela's goretex lace-ups because I wanted them to fit just a little tighter than the zip-ups did. 

One VERY important fact about the Cabela's branded boots is they carry a LIFETIME warranty and that includes leaking!  My zip-ups started leaking after 2 years so when I replaced them with the lace-ups the only cost to me was the shipping and since the new ones were a little cheaper that actually offset the shipping cost too.  I will never own another pair of snake boots other than Cabela's (and don't intend to ever pay for another pair either)  All snake boots will start to leak eventually (before they wear out) and my budget just doesn't allow me to purchase more each time that happens.

Great boots

Russells for me too.

Amortized over the minimum 10 year life of the boot, your annual foot wear cost is minimal..

Think about this- Russell's are HANDMADE in the USA , to your foot measurements, not some generic size XX mold...

It's a no brainer to me. I have worn my Russell Turkey boots to Mexico in pursuit of the Gould's turkey. And from coast to coast for many years in the course of my normal Spring hunting trips.

For me,  in Turkey hunting there are two things to never skrimp on - ammo and boots. I put lots of miles in every Spring and my Russells don't let me down.

Got a pair of danners last week going back 2moro poor fit hot and stiff

never tried the russells, but i have tried most everything else, rocky lacrosse, offbrands, and nothing comes close to the danner pronghorns gtx'x, love them, i hunt 40+ days a year and i wear the same boots, love them, a step above the rest in my opinion.  thankfully though i have never tested there snakeproofness.

How do the Danner Pronghorns run as far as fit goes?  Are they comparable to normal shoes, run big/small??

I have found alot of luck with irish setters and am getting ready to order another pair that just came out this january and they are zip ups. They are called outrider vipers , I cant tell you how comfortable they are yet but the other pairs I own have lasted and are very comfortable. Not alot of stores carry them yet , you need to check internet if interested. Just a idea.

Danner Jackal II. They feel like a tennis shoe. Light weight. They are a little stiff so Im wearing em every chance I get to loosen them up. They are feeling great.

I'll second the recommendation for the Irish Setters. I picked up these Irish Setter  Mt. Claw Viper boots as Sportsman's Guide and love them. Spent weekend-before-last hog hunting here in Central Florida, 12 hrs each day, and not one complaint about them.  Here's a link to the Sportsman's Guide page: Irish Setter Mt. Claw Viper
