    Check out REI. What you’re looking at is an average hiking boot. Avoid the ones without ankle support, but don’t go for an all leather boot. A Light hiking boot with ankle support or a stiffer boot with a synthetic upper will do fine. For Snake Proof, check out gaiters. They come in three basic heights, you’d probably use a medium or high (the higher cuts tend to be more durable).
