Love at first sight (day zero); granted, I have only seen the Chippewa snake boots in action in Texan rangelands, and even the Chippewa crumbles to the rugged Tarrant soils. I have not worn the Danner San Angelo snake boots either, but I have had Danner boots for years and know the craftsmanship quality. Now, the Rocky snake boots out of the box look fantastic, and by that, I mean full-grain leather, 900 nylon snake shields, good soles, rugged zipper, and it was effortless to put them on.I have seen many reviews arguing that you need to break them in before you feel comfortable, and generally, I would agree with that. However, I went half size up knowing that that’s the way to go with hiking-ranching-fieldwork boots, and with thick socks, I see no problems walking around the house for three hours.I will take them to the ranch, conduct fieldwork, and prescribed fires, so stay tune for updates.So far, worth the $170 in my experience.
