I have used several types of Snake boots in the past including Danner. These are by far the best on the market. After about a few hours of walking they seem to mold to your feet and are very comfortable to walk in. I am comfortable that they are snake proof due to the quality materials they are made of. The only drawback is they are fairly expensive.
I have had these about 6 months now and used them extensively this past deer season. They seem to be holding up well.

12/1/2011 Update
Have worn these boots over 100 times since the review above. They are still in outstanding shape. Soles hardly worn at all. In addition they are still waterproof. I have worn these through 2 Turkey seasons and 2 deer seasons.They are the most comfortable boots I own. You will not find a better pair of boots. This in one case of you really get what you pay for.

PRIOR TO ORDERING THESE BOOTS, I TRIED ON OTHER DANNER BOOTS AT THE DIFFERENT STORES TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SIZE TO ORDER. THESE BOOTS STILL CAME WAY BIG AND HAD TO BE EXCHANGED. ONCE I GOT THE RIGHT SIZE, THE FIT OF THE BOOT WAS GREAT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR THE BOOTS ON THE INSIDE OF YOUR JEANS, THE CALF AREA ON YOUR PANTS HAS TO BE QUITE LARGE. IF YOU BUY A PAIR, YOU'LL KNOW RIGHT AWAY WHAT I MEAN. ANOTHER DIFFERENCE IS THAT THIS BOOT WILL COME UP TO JUST BELOW THE BACK OF THE KNEE--OTHER BOOTS I TRIED ON WERE MUCH LOWER. HOWEVER, THEY ARE STILL VERY COMFORTABLE. THE BOOT FEELS GREAT AROUND THE ANKLE AND THE FINISH OF THE BOOT IS WELL BEYOND OTHER MANUFACTURERS. EVEN THOUGH THEY COST MORE, THEY ARE WORTH IT.

When they say that right when you put them on,their comfy.....I'm tellin ya'll their right!Well worth the money in investing in your feets when it get out on the trail,Remember...just like a resturant that we walk in and sit down....if your not comfy in the first 5 minutes....your probably not going to be comfy!

As the others have said, these boots are quite comfortable for snake boots. I've tried other lace ups as well as pull ons and these worked better than the others I have had. Comfortable (hot, but comfortable) from the start.
However, I don't like the soles. They are slippery when wet under certain conditions. I am continually on and off a metal truckbed and during wet weather, I really have to watch my footing. If Danner could improve this, I'd say five stars easily.

These Boots are by far the most comfortable boots iv'e ever put on right out of the box!
It's great to be able to hunt the woods and grasslands without having to watch every step!
You can get these boots on fast and easy!

Not the most comfortable boots. I have had leather (US made) Danners in the past and these simply do not measure up. I broke them in for a week and they gave me a small blister on my little toe because of the placement of the "hinge" at the toe. It's hard to describe but the boots lacing begins too far towards the toe and the crease when the boot is flexed hit my toe instead of further back on my foot where my toes hinge.

Not enough of a problem to not wear them on my hunting trip for a week in the Alaskan bush, I just put a bandaid on that toe.

The leather needs dressing since the color bled out at the toes (it is rather wet where I live) even though I waterproofed the leather. The gore-tex held up and my feet stayed dry (yay). I wanted the tall boot for slogging through streams and muskegs and they worked fine for that but I only laced them ankle high for comfort. I will use them again but only rate them a so-so boot. Okay value I guess, you really have to spend about double to get a really good US made boot. Also, since I bought them online, I couldn't try them on for comfort ahead of time and I might have passed on them if I had.

Very good boots. The only thing this boot needs is a side zipper it is a real pain lacing them up every time you put them on and take them off.

I've owned a few pairs of snake boots in the past. They've always been uncomfortable and quite stiff. I could never even consider driving while wearing them, and every pair leaked after a few outings in the Florida swamps where most of my hunting takes place.

I decided to break this pair in on a couple hour scouting trip in a massive swamp. I assumed that my feet could only handle a short hike before they became too blistered to recover by the following week's opening archery day. Well, I ended up hiking all day.. wore the boots while driving home, and when I took them off.. no blisters.

For the level of comfort and waterproofing provided, I highly recommend these boots. If you buy these boots, one small suggestion from my lessons learned; the first time you wear them, while breaking them in, tighten them up around the ankle a little more than usual, and do not tighten the top as much as you normally would other boots. This will allow the boots to "break in" to the shape of your ankle and the way you like to walk.
