snake boots

Snake boots are tall, heavy-duty boots designed to protect the wearer from snakebites, typically reaching to the knee or mid-calf.

The boots feature puncture-resistant materials—thick leather, Kevlar, or synthetic armor—that prevent fangs from penetrating.

Hunters, hikers, and outdoor workers wear them in regions where venomous snakes are common: I always wear my snake boots when I'm in copperhead country.
