ROCKY Men's Low Country Waterproof Snake Boots

First, I was excited to get these snake boots as I live in an area where venomous snakes are abundant. And zippered boots are convenient. I soaped the zippers upon receipt and every month thereafter. 3 months in (I got them March '24) the left zipper started coming apart down low. Was I happy. No. But I could still use them. And now today, July 20, 2024, the toe on the right boot separated from the sole. Now I've got to try and glue it back. The waterproof on it is say is shot. And these boots haven't been submerged in anything (ponds here have those slithery things in them and I don't walk into them in these boots-they we're not made for that). Needless to say I guess cost for unit versus quality and longevity of the product, now have fallen in line. 6 months and I now have this. Oh, and of course I'm outside my return window. I live on a 40 acre patch farming and raising cattle. They have worn well some wise. And no, they haven't been worn everyday. At first I loved them so much I got the wife a pair, just like mine, to use when she is in the field picking wild berries and checking cattle because I don't want her snake not either. To say I am disappointed after only 6 months of use is on the low end, the high end is off the chart pissed off. I'd like another pair of boots ( good luck with that thought)...... OR......... UPDATE!!! You'll want to HEAR THIS!! After thinking on this and what happened, I contacted the company, Rocky Boots, directly. I learned there is a Limited Warranty on these boots, well past the time they can be returned thru Amazon. The process was very easy and straightforward. First I had to fill out their form and submit photos of where the boots failed along with my proof of purchase thru Amazon. I also explained that the return date had passed for returning the boots thru Amazon. This was all also able to be conveniently done online via email. The company is very good, and prompt on reviewing the matter and staying in contact. Once done, they contacted me about the matter. I received a RMA number (return merchandise authorization) along with a postage paid mailing label thru Fed-X. All I had to do was box them up and drop the box off for return. Today is 11-12-24. I just received a BRAND NEW pair of their boots, replacing the first pair. I know we all live in a society nowadays where it seems like companies don't care about their products much less service after the sale or heaven forbid, making something right. This company DOES. I am, needless to say, shocked, and very happily surprised. I will recommend this company to absolutely EVERYONE I KNOW on this planet! Buy their boots. You won't be disappointed. I'm certainly not! THANK YOU ROCKY BOOTS! You've went a long way in restoring my faith in businesses!!

Fit is good and my husband said they are comfortable and easy to put on due the zipper

initial impressions are very good. like these so far, but have not hunted in them as yet. this is the first pair of actual "snake boots" that I've owned. I cannot at all support the numerous reviews herein that mention buying a half/one/two sizes larger. perhaps Rocky noted/corrected the issue at some point? I ordered my regular size and they fit quite well. I did order a wider size accommodate heavy winter socks and/or two layers of socks in cold weather and it's going to be just the right amount of extra room for me. the fit on the calves at the top is also very nice, not too tight nor too loose for my tastes. the zippers are also fine; I could see impatience being an issue with them holding up as it's a 16" pull. these zips feel about like the Rockys I wore at Ft. Lewis/Ft. Bragg. the color is a bit darker than pics online, IMO - which is good for me. I'll be in swampy woods most of the time, very verdant green w/dark brown woods and nasty black water. even the leather is a darker brown than it seemed to me on amazon. they are also lighter than I'd thought - yet another plus. as far as waterproof, I think that they'll be fine for reasonable expectations of a zip-up boot. TBH, around here if you're wanting to stay 100% dry all day in the woods and you aren't in waders, you're operating more so with hope than you are a plan. I cannot find anything to complain about with these boots; will update this review if that were to change. for $130, if you think that you have found better snake boots - I'd advise anyone to definitely go on and grab 'em immediately. otherwise, so far I can recommend these puppies.

Fit well

I bought these in May, 2021, and I am still wearing them to cut grass now in 2025. After a year or so, the stitching of the zipper came loose on one boot meaning I can't zip up the last 4 inches or so, but the velcro tab at the top keeps the gusset closed. These boots are heavy and hot! But they give me peace of mind, so I put up with them. Finally, the boots are stiff, hard to get on and off. After the first couple of wearings, I started putting a large plastic bag over my sock on each foot. This helps them slip on and off more easily, and keeps the boots from stinking so badly.

Don’t buy. I used them less than eight times in the month I have had them. Today I was trapped in the left boot for over 15 minutes until, I don’t know how, I was able to get the zipper down. Zippers look strong and functional but they stick often. I even tried silicone lubricants. I tried working the zippers (both are very hard to move) and now the left zipper is stuck at the top. Some reviews warn this might be a problem but enough others had no problem. I was almost ready to use a knife to cut my way out today. Now I’m unable to get the left boot on even if i wanted to try sgain. Made well but would also benefit if the boots had handles to help in getting on. NEEDS reliable zippers.

I highly recommend these boots. The fit was right on, they’re extremely comfortable. Zipper very easy to take on and off.

I am not one to write reviews very often, but am so impressed with this product I felt the need to write. Having to order a boot to protect oneself from venomous snakes is not a pleasant purchase, but is needed. I cannot say if they will protect from a venomous pair of fangs, but I can say they are surprisingly comfortable. True to fit of the listed size and the zipper up the medial side makes for easy ingress and egress. The toe and heels is solid and cannot conceive of a snake biting through either. The rest of the boot is a firm, thick but pliable material that I can only hope will keep out fangs. Price is outstanding. If they keep me safe, they are quite a good buy.

As good as I expected. Yet to be tested 😅 but they feel fine and give you the enough confidence to step into the unknown.

super

Very happy with purchase

Très légère et confortable
