I've never owned a pair. Looking for as much information as possible from lace up to zipper, durability and being waterproof. All help would be appreciated.

Eric/ snakeboot
I have both zipper and lace up, I believe you would be better off with lace ups, as the zippers tend to mess up. I have both the Rocky brand and Chippewa brand and I prefer the Chippawas. Hope this helps. Dave

Check out the Irish setter vaprtrek. 17 inch Lace up and never had a leak.. $200 and worth every penny. But to me they run a little small. I'm normally a 12 and wear a 13 in these.

Lots. Here in NC you won't catch me in the woods in the summer without chaps or snake boots. Copperhead bit a guy here last year. He was wearing a regular old 9inch leather boot. One fang hit the top of the boot and the other got his leg.

That's why I wear snake proof hip boots.If a snake bites me it's gonna be in the butt. Then I won't be able to get anybody to suck the poison out. LOL
As a land surveyor by day and a coon hunter by night I've tried several different brands and pair of snake boots.
I use the dans snake chap/hip waders with the dans boot and are pretty comfortable but you will sweat your arse off in the summer wearing them. I have had the same pair for two years and they held up great, thankfully I am yet to test them against a snake. I did however have a coon bite through the boot and tear it narrowly missing my big toe. Man that was bad coon whipped two dogs then came at me.
I also have a pair of lacrosse zip up and lace man those jokers are uncomfortable. And have had Justin slip on/zipup they were awesome for limited wear but after a couple of hours they would start rubbing and that's a no go. Thinking off switching up to danner tried a pair on the other day and from the amount of time I had them on they were pretty light and seemed very comfortable.

i have never been bitten in the leg. i was struck by a 4 foot timber ratter . i can tell that the reptile badlands chaps i had on were well worth the money i spent on them . they are a little stiff and hot in the summer but i feel safe when i wear them .
