What the LaCrosse Boots Reviews Include

We will base our LaCrosse boots reviews on a few factors: the materials the boots are made of, the safety features, water-resistance and insulation, the price, and any unique features the boots may have. We won’t be discussing style much, as it always comes down to your personal preference, so there is no reason to get into it.

We should note that when you are looking for work boots, you shouldn’t be asking the question: What are the best LaCrosse work boots?, but, what are the best LaCrosse work boots for you? The features you need in warm-weather work boots are not the same features you want in cold-weather hunting boots, so your choice should be based on the situation you will wear them in.

 

LaCrosse Men’s Alphaburly Pro 18’’

 

We will start off our LaCrosse boots reviews with their premium hunting boot. The Alphaburly Pro is designed for day-long outdoor use in cold weather. It is a sturdy hunting boot that combines durability with comfort.

Materials

 The Alphaburly are made of natural rubber over insulated neoprene. The materials allow them to be relatively lightweight and flexible, but still durable. The neoprene gusset accommodates different calf sizes, adding to the comfort of the boots. The liner will wick away moisture and allow air circulation, which will keep your feet from sweating excessively and help keep you comfortable during a long day’s hunting trip.

Safety Features

These rubber boots come with no special safety toe, reducing the weight, but that doesn’t make them a good choice if there is a high chance of objects falling on your toes and injuring you. The Burly Pro outsole is designed to offer excellent traction in wet and muddy terrain, and it allows you to shed muck and mud as you walk, helping you stay light on your feet.

Water-Resistance and Insulation

LaCrosse Men’s Alphaburly Pro 18’’

The Alphaburly’s are fully waterproof and as they stand at 18 inches high, there is no amount of water that you need to fear. With 800G of insulation, they will keep your feet warm in anything but the harshest conditions.

Pros

  • Provide comfort and durability, good for day-long use
  • Waterproof and insulated, excellent for cold-weather hunting
  • Very good traction in wet and slippery terrain

Cons

  • Middle of the pack price range for LaCrosse rubber boots
  • No protective toe, thus not intended for construction or similar wok
  • The 800G of insulation can make your feet sweat if worn in warm weather

 

LaCrosse Men’s Alpha Thermal 16’’

As the name implies, the Alpha Thermal is a tried and true winter boot. These boots allow you to trudge along in any winter conditions – be it snow, ice, or sleet. Whether it’s your job that takes you outside, or you simply like to spend your time outdoors, the Alpha Thermals are an excellent choice.

Materials 

These boots are made of natural rubber over insulated neoprene, with fleece lining for additional insulation and comfort. The neoprene gusset and active fit design will keep your feet comfortable and allow you to take them on and off easily.

Safety Features

These work boots come equipped with a composite toe – while not offering as much protection as a steel toe, it weighs less and doesn’t transfer heat, making it more suitable for cold weather. The Antarctic outsole is specifically designed to provide the best traction on slippery winter terrain.

Water-Resistance and Insulation

The Alpha Thermals have 7mm of insulated neoprene and fleece lining, which will keep your feet warm in almost any temperature. This pair of boots is waterproof, but as they stand at 16 inches high, very deep streams may be a problem to cross.

Pros

  • Exceptional insulated and waterproof winter work boot
  • The composite toe provides moderate impact protection, while adding minimal weight
  • The Antarctic outsole is perfect for slippery terrain

Cons

  • Middle of the pack price range for LaCrosse boots
  • Can be uncomfortable if worn in warm weather conditions
  • At 16 inches, may not provide enough protection when crossing very deep streams

LaCrosse Men’s Alpha Range 14”


LaCrosse Alpha Range boots are meant for warm weather, providing exceptional protection and comfort. These tall boots will keep your feet dry even when walking through shallow water.

Materials

These waterproof boots combine premium ZXT rubber with neoprene to provide comfort and functionality at work. Thanks to that, they offer the required durability and flexibility when the temperature starts to rise. They are built with more natural rubber than most other work boots, resisting ozone and tear year after year while neoprene gusset adjusts to various calf sizes, making it easy to slide the boot on and off.

Safety Features

LaCrosse Alpha Range boot features composite toe making it rugged yet lightweight enough to meet ASTM standards. More comfortable than steel and alloy toes, composite toes don’t conduct cold, heat, and electricity. Moreover, they feature Active fit keeping your feet in place while on the move and going on and coming off easily.

Water-resistance and Insulation

These boots have a quick-drying and moisture-wicking jersey-knit liner, keeping your feet dry and comfortable. Their versatile outsoles are built to shed the muck and mud, while their construction ensures they won’t ever separate from the boot. While waterproof, these boots aren’t insulated, making them ideal for warmer climates.


Pros

  • These boots are tall and waterproof, allowing you to even walk through shallow water while keeping your feet dry.
  • The composite toe will protect you without sacrificing mobility.
  • Active Fit technology will keep your feet in place while on the move.

Cons

  • The high-end price range for LaCrosse boots
  • These boots aren’t insulated, meaning you can’t wear them when temperatures start to drop.

LaCrosse Men's Aeroguard 16”

This hunting boot will keep you hidden from your prey in virtually any green habitat due to the Realtree Xtra Green pattern while keeping your feet warm and dry. Four layers of cushioning and support offer nothing less than an all-day comfort. We expect nothing less from a premium hunting boot 4xAlpha is.

Materials

These hunting boots are built with premium, durable rubber keeping your feet dry and comfortable. Their full rubber gusset adjusts to different calf sizes, making it easy to slide the boots on and off, while neoprene provides warmth.

Safety Features

The 4xAlpha allows you to tread the most challenging terrain with a 4xBurly outsole. Its high-grade rubber with angled lugs does an excellent job at shedding mud and muck and providing exceptional traction on slippery surfaces. Moreover, Active Fit will keep your feet secure while on the move.

Water-resistance and Insulation

Apart from keeping your feet dry thanks to the waterproof lining, these rubber boots will keep them warm due to 3.5mm insulating neoprene. However, these boots may not be your best bet in the coldest of conditions.

 

Pros

  • Blending with green habitats
  • Durable and comfortable thanks to the quality materials
  • Insulated and waterproof

Cons

  • Not ideal for extreme cold
  • Not casual-looking, you will hardly use them for anything else except for work or other winter endeavors.
  • Plain toe won’t protect your feet from impact

    This boot is built with premium, natural rubber specially formulated to be tear- and ozone-resistant while keeping your feet dry. The Alpha Range offers durability, flexibility, and comfort while keeping you cool when temperatures start to rise due to the flexible neoprene. They dry fast and are easy to slide on and off.

    Safety Features
