Does 2 inches really make a difference?

Those are top notch boots, I've worn them for several years of hard tromping through Florida swamps and scrub and love them. If you are a short legged feller they may be a problem but for the average guy they're  great. And not to mention the only 100% water proof snake boot I have had. They're a little stiff at first but one scouting season to break them and your good to go.

Are the as hard to remove as a lot of reviewers say that they are?

Not to speak of, my heel snaps in pretty good and keeps them from riding up but they slip off fairly easy, way better than the aggravating lace up boots I have had before. Now they only come in whole sizes so trying them on before buying is not a bad idea.

I was just going to go a size up so I could fit thicker socks during the cold months.

I have actually thought about that, but could you imagine how hot they would be?

I wear snake boots but they are not the end all to snake bites. they are definitely good insurance. I got bit on my thigh by a cotton mouth while turkey hunting 25 years ago. in the long run more is better imo.

Cottonmouth bites hurt like hell. I was bit by one about 5 years ago.

And to think 2 weeks ago I was messing with one until he got plum pissed. He struck at me 3 or 4 times, but when he charged at me is when I realized I better quit playin around. My wife hates it when I play with copperheads and cottonmouths. She still hasn't learned to just be quiet and let me concentrate. Seems like every time I almost get bit she's talking to me.

I have been wearing them for the past 2 years and they are definitely waterproof,  and definitely HEAVY!!!! I wear a size 12 and the pair of them weighs 6 1/2 pounds. When they are new they are so stiff you cant drive with them on as you wont be able to mash the accelerator. As long as you are not walking really long distances they are the best option I think.
