Why to wear leather boots in the wild and in the Karoo

There is a simple reason for wearing leather boots in the wild. Protection. Most scorpions can not sting through thick leather and some dangerous snakes can also not bite through leather. Scrorpions usually aim for the heel and as long as your heel is covered you are more safe. I am not talking about one layered shoes. You get shoes that have several layers of leather and those are the shoes that you should wear. Simple tip but it helps.
