Like Bhwana, I have never seen a poisonous snake when turkey hunting  and I think the odds of getting bit are very low.  However, since I wear my snake boots, I don't have to really look for them so I have no idea how close I may have come.  Second, I have taken care of many snake bites in the ER.  They are nasty things.  I will always wear snake boots and put permethrin on my clothes.  One less thing I have to worry about and can focus on Mr. Tom

Danner Sharptail have been the most comfortable I have found but my options are limited because of boot size.

They are water resistant at best even after coating with camp dry.

I bit the bullet last year and bought a pair of La Crosse Venom II boots. Nice boots and are very well constructed, but I feel like Hermon Monster walking in them. Like MSM210 stated, "Arrived pretty quickly but I couldn't even get close to getting my foot in them.  Read afterwards this is not something new as many have had that issue".  I sent them back and had to order them, I believe a size or two bigger to be able to get my foot in them.
I don't care what it is whether it's my boots, seat cushion etc. I like to be comfortable when I'm hunting or fishing because I'll stay out there longer. Maybe once I break them in a little more, I may grow to like them, but for now I'm on the fence.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, tired, beat, thoroughly used up and totally worn out from chasing turkeys and loudly proclaiming; "WOW -- What a Ride!"
