Want to know how to pick out the right pair of snake proof boots? Read on to learn how to figure out which pair is right for you, and to avoid those that aren't.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • An Internet connection for research
  • Pad with the 3 questions on them
  1. Step 1

    First, recognize that there isn't any difference between "high end" and "low end" snake boots. They all work the same, so don't let a company gouge you. Second, ask yourself the following three questions:

  2. Step 2

    Question 1: What is my specific purpose for these boots? Are they hunting boots? Hiking boots? Can they be camouflage looking, or do they have to be kind of "nice?" Use this information to eliminate all the types of snake boots that don't match your description.

  3. Step 3

    Question 2: What terrain will you be seeing? If these boots are for wild turkey hunting in swampy area, then you want rubber snake proof hunting boots. Maybe even hip boots. If you're hiking in the desert, then those don't make any sense at all. Find boots that match your terrain need.

  4. Step 4

    Question 3: What's it cost? As far as effectiveness, one boot isn't any better than the others, so look for a good deal and don't fall for any "specially designed to be twice as thick" scams. Those boots are only more than twice as thick as they need to be.

  5. Step 5

    Hike or hunt carefully, and enjoy the added comfort and protection that snake boots have to offer!

Tips & Warnings
  • Check eBay, Amazon, or other auction sites for good deals on used snake proof boots
  • Treat finding a pair of good snake proof boots the way you would looking for a normal pair of functional boots, and you should be fine.
  • Some boots will say things like "rattlesnake proof boots" or "specially designed to protect against vipers." Don't pay extra. All snake proof boots are designed to stop a snake bite. All of them.
  • Snake boots can be a little pricey, so look around for a good deal.
