Austin - Snake Proof Bison Hunting Boot
"My son Austin almost got bit by a rattlesnake (curled up ready to strike) while we were hunting in the Hill Country, so I decided to build the best snake proof boots in the world" - Chris (owner).
- 15" Tops with Snake Proof Liner
- Shrunken Bison for Years of Abuse
- Rubber Lugged Hunting Sole
- Zipper for Easy Access
- Oversized Calf to Tuck-In Pants
These are lined with a special snake guard liner that is light weight, but impenetrable. It's surrounded by oil-tanned calf which can be conditioned to bring out the classic character of the boot. The vamp is made of tough bison for years of abuse.
The sole is Vibram Rubber with is lugged for grip out in the harsh terrain. It is waterproof to a certain degree (as long as you're not standing in water for hours). The strong zipper is for ease of getting in/out. The calf is 17" to allow you to tuck in your jeans when you are in the thorn country.
We use no synthetic material and every part of it is handmade (which is why this boot will last a lifetime). These details are important. These are the perfect boots to wear at the office, the ranch and everywhere in between.
Lux-calf interior for glove-like comfort. Full leather insole (for breathability and custom shaping to your foot). Heel is leather stacked 1” with Vibram lug caps.
Our stock boots are 'true to size' in order to conform perfectly with your foot, but this makes them more of a custom feel (slightly tighter). Other companies tend to oversize their boots, so if you want a comparable fit then go up a half size (if a 10 in other stock boots, order a 10.5) - Its free to exchange if something is off!
Ladies these are also for you - size down 1.5 sizes (if you are a size 10 in ladies then order this men's size 8.5).
Our Full Leather Insoles allow the Width to be Modifiable! They are built on a EE base and have a full leather insole that (when inserted) makes the boot a D width (normal). So, simply remove this leather insert for EE (wide) width, or keep it inserted for D (normal) width. They will conform comfortably to your feet either way.

Customer Reviews
Decided to try buying my husband’s snake boots here. He loved them immediately, loved the look and then after wearing, said they were much more comfortable than what he’s been wearing. I ordered straps with his initials, they shipped boots since straps wouldn’t be in for a bit. Once straps were ready, they emailed postage return label for me to send boots back with. Republic was very patient, my husband didn’t want to give up his boots and wear his old ones, so we waited until we went on vacation to send them back for the straps. Boots arrived back home, just about same time we did!
These boots fit like a custom set of boots! That is a RARE THING since my foot is a 15E...
Could NOT be HAPPIER with the comfort and QUALITY of the boots construction!
Spoke with a sales rep over the phone:
1) described my fitment problems with other boots from other companies
2) very, very knowledgeable about his product and sizes
3) hit the PERFECT FIT the first time!!
4) AND offered to replace the boot with another size if we were not successful in our over the phone decision (shipping free of charge BOTH WAYS! )
You feel welcome and at home as soon as you walk into the door. Very laid back atmosphere and 100% attention to customer service. Will be back and will recommend to everyone I know. These guys really set themselves apart from the average ole boot store!
This is my second pair of boot from Republic! This second pair won’t be my last. I am looking forward to many hunts wearing these Austin- snake proof hunting boots. Nice heavy Bison leather. YKK zipper and 15” calf skin tops. I haven gotten to hunt in them yet, but so far they are very comfortable.
