I perfer Lacrosse rubber snake boots. I have the Vap'r treks. They're lightweight, but have not proven to be waterproof and tend to bow in at the ankle causing serious rubbing.

I had to buy a new pair this year when my redhead boots soles came off. I bought the Vaportreks and love them. Feel like I am walking around in tennis shoes.

Before you commit to something, find some Chippewa waterproof briar pitstop to try on. They are a little stiff at first, but break in quickly and feel great. I'm on my 4th year with them, and so far they are holding up great and still waterproof. My only complaint would be that they don't have a very aggressive tread on bottom.

Chippewa 25110 Men's Snake Boots

Yep, they're good, just got mine broken in. They go on sale at Academy at the end of winter. I couldn't believe Academy carried them.

For the guys with the Chippewas.... Do any of you do much climbing in them? The areas I mostly in the TNF are hilly as all get out and the soles on the Chippewas don't look very aggressive. Just curious to how they hold up to climbing up and down hills all day. Appreciate any of your feedback.

They're not aggressive. My dad has them and he likes that mud doesn't stick to the bottoms.

I climb hills in them and I get to where I need to go with them. Leaves and muddy hillsides can be a little slippery, but not enough to shy away from using the boot.

Same here. Easiest boot I have ever broke in.

Ive got the vapretrek snakeboot i still wear them some but ive worn mine out an the ankles are collapsing, bout $200 some odd boot that lasted me about 6 months of wearing them nearly everyday. Mediocre boot at best theyre waterproof for bout 30 sec then theyre done an ur feet will get soaked but bout all lace up boots are like that. I wantvspend that much $ on them again when i could buy danners. The pronghorn is a heck of a boot, but if you didnt want a lace up i highly reccomend chipewa ORIGINALS. They had a few bad years id say probly 2010 to 2014. Tho according to the rep i talked to thats all taken care of now and i believe him. Im on my third season of hard use an they are still holding up very well. Also ive climbed up and over all kinds of terrain in south texas not to mention skyline wma i never had a problem

I bought the Rocky's from Bass Pro this week on sale for $80. They fell more comfortable and light than any other I have tried on. I have read reviews where some people said they were not water proof as stated on boot so I am going to spray a coating of silicone on them just in case.

I went with the vaprtrek's since I got such a good deal on them. So far i am liking them. Very light and comfortable. Haven't tested them for being waterproof just yet. We will see how well they hold up...

Awesome!! I'm glad it worked out for you. Hope you like 'em as much as I do, tho I worry about the strap and buckle, the strap seems pretty darn thin and the buckle is pretty chintzy, but I love the boots!!
