Who It's For
Farmers, ranchers, utility workers, and outdoor laborers working in snake country, who need occupational-grade foot protection built into a waterproof hip wader. The Snake Protector Chap with Dryshod Steel-Toe Work Boot is the only Frogleg combo featuring boots with an ANSI-rated steel toe, multiple ASTM safety certifications, and genuine hand-laid rubber. When paired with Dan's triple-layer snake protection chap, you’re covered from boot to belt.
What Are Froglegs?
Froglegs are Dan's solution to hip-deep conditions. Each pair starts with a briarproof outer chap lined with water-repellent nylon that runs all the way down to the lower ankle. Dan's team then sews and seals that chap directly to the boot of your choice, creating a waterproof hip wader that also sheds briars and brush from boot to belt. Wear them pulled up and attached to your belt with the adjustable straps, or fold them down and snap them at the knee when conditions allow.

Why It's Worth It
- Lightest Boot in the Frogleg Line: At 2.4 lbs., the Steel-Toe Work Boot is significantly lighter than any other boot we pair with Dan's chaps.
- ANSI-Rated Steel Toe: Meets ASTM F2413-11 impact and compression standards — the only Frogleg combo offering certified toe protection against falling objects and heavy loads.
- Multiple Safety Certifications: Oil and slip-resistance ratings make this boot suitable for job sites where terrain and surfaces demand more than a standard hunting boot.
- Triple-Layer Snake Protection: Dan's most protective chap construction defends against snake strikes and thorns from boot top to belt.
- Insulated and Breathable: DENSOPRENE® foam keeps feet warm down to -20°F while the AIRMESH lining moves air to prevent overheating during active work.
- Hip-Deep Waterproof: The sewn-and-sealed chap-to-boot construction keeps water out from boot sole to belt.
- Hand-Sewn in the USA: The chap and sealing process are crafted in Ohio for superior quality and field-readiness.

Sizing Guide
- Chap thigh: Measure around the largest part of your thigh over your jeans and add 2–3 inches. Order 2–3 inches shorter than your normal inseam; 3 inches shorter is recommended. If between sizes, most buyers choose the shorter length.
- Boot size: Dryshod Steel-Toe Work Boots use unisex sizing built on a men's last. Women should order one size up from their normal women's size. Available in men's sizes 9–13 on this page. If you plan to wear heavy socks, size up.
