went scout'n this sunday and had a great time. the boots were very comfortable. my feet did get sore but only after 7 hours of non stop walking. i did not find arattler or cotton mouthto test the "snake proof" aspect of the boots out but there is plenty of time for that. i did find the complete skeleton of a 10 point buck within 150 yards of my favorite hunt'n spot. the rack had 6 points on the left side and 4 points on the right side. i also found a shed with 4 points on the side.
