I always wear my Chippewa snake boots when hunting. Very comfortable once broken in. Mine are the leather lined non insulated ones. They are plenty hot enough most of the season and I have not as of yet needed waterproof. I would as soon my feet get a little wet on occasion vs sweltering all the time.....but that depends on your own situation and make up.
Most guys in your neck of the woods that I have hunted with wear some kind of snake boot. I never had any problems with poisonous snakes deer hunting in Carolina but the height of them is great for keeping ticks and briars off of your legs. You can figure that in the low country snakes are going to potentially be active all season. I saw a big old cottonmouth sunning on the side of the road one year between Christmas and New Year on the way to a hunt.
