I'm going to need to replace my snakeboots before spring turkey season gets here.  I currently own a pair of Rocky's.  This is the second pair I've went through and, unfortunately, a couple of years into service each of them began to leak slightly.
So, I'm looking to move to something that offers a little more reliability in the waterproof department.
Any thoughts?

I think that unless a boot is solid rubber, you may be expecting too much from the boot.

I'd say it depends on what you are most concerned about... wet feet or fangs.

Have you thought about using good gators along with your favorite boots?

I had some Chippewas that stayed dry for seven seasons of turkey and deer hunting.  I'd snow seal them to keep them soft. I walked and stood in a lot of water in those seven years.

I now have some Danners that have gone through two seasons of lighter use.  I have been using Alphs Burlys when the weather get colder and the snakes are gone.  So far so good, but I don't think they are as good as the Chippewa, they are one heck of a comfortable boot though.

I sometimes have to wade to get where I want to go so I ripped the liner out of my rocky zip up snake boots and cut tiny slits near the sole for the water to leak back out. My other pair I really keep rubbed down with mink oil.RC

I have a pair of Winchesters. Super cheap and have been in service for 5 years. Only leaks when I get water over the top.

Chippewa snake boots are the standard in South Texas...for snakes, thorns, cactus, and water...

Another vote for Chippewa's.... been wearing them since the mid 80's, not the same pair of course.

Agree with the Chippewa fans...outstanding choice.

I don't know about waterproofness but the new Rocky snake boots look to be really comfortable. Not stiff like the traditional snake boots. I usually just wear a good pair of leather boots and keep my eyes peeled lol

I use 16" Schnees pac boots.  Maybe not a true snake boot but I feel pretty safe, dry and comfortable in them.

I have a pair of Rockeys I bought this past fall. After what you said I am officially depressed. Don't have snakes here but I do like the height for the snow and streams waterproof and I hate rubber boots. Wore too many of them in the barn I get flashbacks.  

the best ones I have found are the zip up redhead snake boots. comfortable as a tennis shoe and very light weight.

I live in snake boots year round here in TX.  Either Chippawa as suggested or Justin.  Justin are tougher.  Chippawa are lighter.  I have both.  I tend to wear the Justin as my primary boot.  Screw all the lace up and zip up boots.  Just crap you don't need and a dumb idea.  They have gore-tex models.  I just get the normal and use snow seal.  If I know I am going to have a wet weekend I take a second pair just in case I need to rotate.  We have Justin outlet stores near where I live and can get them cheaper (Justin owns Chippawa so those included).  They probably don't have outlet stores in VA but if they do look there first.

Russell Turkey Hunters.

i like the bass pro red head ones. zip up. they are comfortable to walk a lot in and as waterproof as i need them to be(like crossing creeks and stuff... not standing in water all day). I heard somebody tell me one time that snake boots were bad for my knees-- but i think SNAKES are bad for my knees.

These are the ones to get.  I saw them at the Justin outlet store in Fort Woth recently for $120-130 pair.

Been wearing the same pair of Rocky side zipper boots for the past three years. Don't think they will make it thru next year.
Every time I seriously consider not wearing them, I bump into something that causes that thought to go away.

I wear the Alpha Burleys with Jeans and Carhart overals over them. Never had a snake latch on yet and hopefully the fangs arn't long enough to bite thru my jeans, carharts and boots. Did have a cottonmouth strike one time but fortunately for me his aim was as bad as mine.

I wear Danner GTX Jackels. I have only had them for two years. They haven't leaked yet. Very light weight but a little stiff in the ankle area.
I can walk all day in them and not develop any sore spots or blisters.
