I live and work on an exotic hunting ranch in west Texas. We have rattle snakes, cactus and lots of other brush that can cut you. I wear snake boots year round. I have tried other boots in the past and have to buy a new pair every year. This go around I purchased the WORKHOG SNAKEBOOT WATERPROOF COMPOSITE TOE WORK BOOT - EARTH. I have been really pleased by the fit and feel. The boots have held up in wet locations and the steel toes have saved my foot on a couple occasions. The boots are are however a little heavy compared to others I have worn. This is not really a big deal just something to get used to. Throughout the year I will be in the cleaning room with blood and fluids all over my boots and the WORKHOG SNAKEBOOT cleans up well. When I wear jeans that the legs are wide enough and will go over the boot, they look like regular square toed cowboy boots. I like that! I hope they last more than a year since I have only had them for about 4 months. I would recommend them to any one needing a pair.
