Three Reasons to Wear Snake Boots

By Harry Benjamin Watts

If snake protection is an issue, you should seriously consider a pair of snake proof boots. While hunters from swampy or marshy areas are probably already familiar with them, you might not know that snake boots are an option. Snake proof boots are designed by several different companies, but all of them are designed to protect you from getting bitten by any type of common venomous viper.

Snake boots haven't completely caught on with the mainstream fashion world yet, but hunters and hikers can already attest to their popularity. These particular pieces of footwear come in many different designs, and are great protection against any likely venomous snakes that you will run into.

While this article only covers three great reasons for looking at the possibility of using snake proof boots, there are many others beyond this. Still, to keep things easy these three general reasons are ones that virtually any consumer can relate to.

Out of all the reasons to get snake boots, the first one should be obvious. This footwear protects you from snake bites - whether they are rattlers, cottonmouths, coral snakes, or copperheads. If you live in an area with even a few of these slithery little guys, then you might want something extra to keep them away from your ingredient.

A second reason to consider snake boots might be surprising at first glance. The financial savings that this footwear can bring you is incredible. Consider that an ER visit to treat a venomous snake bite in the U.S. will cost you up to twenty grand. That's right, twenty grand. And that's only assuming that there are no complications, which in over half of the cases there are. Wearing a good pair of snake proof boots could prevent that type of traumatic physical and financial trauma.

The third reason to wear snake proof boots is the peace of mind. Even people who are terrified of snakes can rest easy when they know beyond a doubt that they are protected all the way from the knees down. The far majority of snake proof boots cover from the knee down, and almost 95% of all snake bites happen in that same area.

There is a wide variety of good reasons for wearing snake proof boots. As this article shows, these reasons can cover a wide array of topics, but the end result is the same no matter what line of reasoning you take to get there. This footwear is worth the small extra cost for the protection provided.

In the end, the decision on whether or not to wear snake boots is up to you. At least with this article you now know that there are some great options in footwear when it comes to defending yourself from snake strikes. - 29959
