Cabelas Snake Boots

**DSGB** · 07-25-2007, 01:38 PM

I needed a new pair of boots for warm weather and was looking through my dad's Cabelas when I found these: Cabela's Gore-Tex Cordura Snake Boots. (Yes, they only come in Mossy Oak

) They are about the same price for regular Gore-Tex boots, so I said what-the-heck. Now I'll have peace of mind when walking through creek bottoms in early bow season and turkey season. All the reviews seem to indicate they are comfortable right out of the box. They should be here in a week, so I'll let ya'll know what I think of them.
The best part is, my dad bought them for me as a late birthday present!

Hope those are not made by rocky for cabelas. I have a pair of rocky low country snake boots, and about a year after I got them they begun leaking. They are comfortable, but walking through a field in the morning with any dew will leave your feet soaked.

Have looked at the cableas pinnacle snake boots and am considering them, if I ever get another pair it will probably be a pair that zippers up, the lace ups are a bit of a pain to deal with.

I had the same problem with Rocky's that William mentioned except the last pair I had started leaking within a couple of weeks. The last pair of Rocky's also had a sole that would squeak if I walked on damp ground. That meant every morning there was dew on the ground the squeaked with every step.

I switched to LaCrosse snake boots a couple of years ago. They have held up better, are still water proof, and were actually a little cheaper than Rocky's. They were out of zip up boots when I bought mine but like William, my next pair will be zip up (LaCrosse) snake boots.

I have the Cabela's snake GoreTex boots and they are great......I bought a pair for spring turkey season and they are comfortable and kept my feet dry and protection against snakes is a big plus...very good boot.
