I wear rockies.. Make sure when you buy them you DO NOT GET THE ONES MADE IN CHINA.. the glue will let go.. Get the origional ones made in dominican republic. They are about 30 bucks more tho.. These we about 110.00 bucks.

My rocky hunting/hiking boots 8" lasted 3 years with heavy abuse then one sole came off, my Rocky waterproof snake boots 15" are still fine but I do not abuse them as much

Even when I was married I still wore the pants. I could skin a hog on the table and that's it. Happily divorced and will NEVER marry anyone ever again. I will most likely die all alone but will have some good snake boots sitting on the table.lol

Don't know what to tell ya man. Back in the 90's my old man was real big into wearing Wellington style boots. He loved the Rocky's, but the soles kept falling off. He would send them back, they would send another pair, and they would fall off again. He went through at least 4 pairs and the soles fell off every one.

During the same time I had a pair of snake boots (Rocky's), AND a pair of Corn Stalkers and the soles fell off both pairs. The soles on the corn stalkers decided to disintegrate on the top of a mountain in Colorado in 2003. :censored 6 pairs of boots with the same problem is an epidemic.
I'll never own another pair of Rocky's

I've hunted in Florida for most of the 60 years of my life and have never owned any sort of snake protection. As a matter of fact I can probably count my number of unintentional snake encounters on one hand. I say untintentional because I used to roam the Everglades hunting for snakes to sell in my younger days.

Look into the Lacrosse Alpha Mudlite Snake Boots. Waterproof like a rubber boot, but with snake proof protection. They are hot in the spring and summer, but that is worth the benefits of the boots being waterproof and snakeproof, IMO.
