Snake guard Ain't snake bite proof, it's there to make you feel better about the boots, never want to see anyone get bit,

It does make me feel better. I've never been hit. So I can't testify to the effectiveness...........but it's gotta be a combination of the materials in the boots and the angle of the majority of snake bites.
I know FOR A FACT that a pear thorn will poke straight into a "snake proof" boot.
