Great choice for snake boots! If you live and hunt in the south you will need them.

In AZ we have rattlers. 3-4 years ago while hiking with my brother and a friend, they called out “Rattler!” I couldn’t hear it, and I was leading! I immediately stopped, the snake being about 4 ft. away. I decided right there to get protection. Snake boots aint cheap. I ended up with some puncture resistance industrial “hikers” and some hard shell gaiters. Do-able. Last year, finally hearing aids.

I don’t blame you for the snake boots, but snakes are usually less of a threat than people think. Most snakes try to avoid us. I spend a lot of time outdoors. I rarely see snakes.

Rocky boots are comfortable, affordable, and they work great until they fall apart within a year. I’d love to find some good boots that can last longer than a year.

A few hours of horseback riding will induce some serious soreness if you aren’t used to it, especially if you aren’t very limber.

There are also products called gaiters that strap around the lower leg (covers from ankle to the knee) with a loop under the sole of whatever boots you have.

In reply to LifeSavor. Water moccasins have a well-earned reputation for having a nasty attitude. I'm more leery of them than rattlers... :(

And I thought water moccasins were a type of shoe for traversing swampy areas.

Good info. Had never heard of snake boots.
