Can a rattlesnake bite through leather cowboy boots?

If I go rattle snake searching and wear my leather cowboy boots and snake-bite proof leggins, can the snakes fangs penetrate my boots? I’m not talking the sole of the shoe, Im talking about the rest of it. Please sight your sources so i may follow up on this.

If you are wearing “snake-bite proof leggins” (as you mentioned), over your boots, no, the fangs will not touch your boots. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to penetrate through your boot as well.

I don’t mess around after a six foot eastern diamondback bit through the outer tire and inner tubing of my mountain bike while I was trying to get him out of the road. I put the bike in between because I was wearing shorts and no shoes. And I was looking for a good stick (yes, true story). I used to wear U.S. army leggings over leather cowboy boots (very awkward and uncomfortable). Here is what I wear now (the best in my opinion).

Here are some other options if you’re concerned about being bitten above the knee (very, Very Rare with North American vipers biting adults). If you’re kneelin or squating while handling, then there is a chance, but I stand with my legs straight and bend over at the waist, unless dealing with corals, pygmies, massasaugas, or very small juvenile crotalus specimens.

However, Carhartt or Railriders over leather cowboy boots and heavy socks are also a good alternative. These are what my uncle wears, and he’s been dealing with rattlesnakes much longer than me.

I have been handling rattlesnakes and other venomous snakes for over two decades and I’ll still take the boots I mentioned above.

Sorry, can’t find any documentation of a snake biting through both snake leggings and boots.
