Looking for snake protection that can take you from the tool shed to the turkey blind? Check out the Alpha Agility Snake Boot, from Lacrosse. Designed with flexibility and comfort in mind, the boots have a lightweight, hand laid rubber upper with comfortable 5mm neoprene core, for quick movement over soft ground. Snake Guard material is also fully flexible, to the point you'll barely realize you're wearing a snake boot. Active Fit locks the heel in place while the back gusset is adjustable for a comfortable and secure fit around the calf. At the sole, a special LXA compound yields agility, and the durability needed for all-day use.
