Lacrosse Men's Alphaburly Pro 18" Hunting Boot

After one year these boots completely fell apart. I'm a forester in Louisiana so I use my boots and need them to work. My last Lacrosse boots lasted almost 7 years. They were warm and held up so I had no reservations about buying another pair. However, this pair has soured me. The soles have separated from the boots and they leak like a sieve. I'm nowhere near impressed, a cheap $45.00 pair could have worked just as well. Lacrosse has lost my business, I guess I will have to check out alternatives...

Just received these so will have to report back later on the durability, but so far, very comfortable with good traction. Heavier than cheap rubber boots but still quite lightweight overall. Prefer the fit and overall feel to muckboots. These are less insulated than regular muckboots, and slightly snugger around the ankle and wider at the toes, so they stay put and don't squish my toes. In comparison, muckboots felt too loose around the ankle and too tight around the toes. I have low volume feet that are wide around the toes and with small heels (like a flipper) and need to use a thicker insole with arch support to help eat up the extra volume in my Alphaburly Pros, otherwise the fit is a little sloppy. But size is definitely true to length. A lot of people claim these fit "too big", but that a volume issue, not a length issue. Boots like this always fit much looser than running shoes. Order your shoe size, and use thick insoles and socks to help keep your feet in one place if they're a little loose.Update - After significant use working in the bush, I can definitely say these boots hold up and perform incredibly well on rough terrain. They do get hot though - the neoprene layer makes them comfy but insulates. I'd prefer a pair with a thinner liner, but this might make them fit more sloppy. Ideally they'd have a removeable liner that can be dried out.Still, these are by far the best rubber boots that I've had the pleasure of wearing.

I am quite happy with my purchase of these boots. They are much easier to get on and off compared to a much older version of LaCrosse boots I have worn out, I don’t struggle at all. I have only worn these one time out deer hunting in rugged terrain I thought would be muddy and they worked great. I normally wear 10-10.5 in most footwear but these seem to run big and I probably should have returned for a size 9, they don’t come in 1/2 sizes. I have already recommended to friends and bought my wife a different pair of LaCrosee boots since my purchase.5 month Update - I have worn these on a weekly basis since purchasing. They are my go to boots while doing outside work in the winter; shoveling, snow blowing, walking the dogs in the country. I am very pleased with my purchase and the LaCrosse brand.

I got these because I have big calves. The description didn't say a how big if the circumference was with or without the gusset being opened. I was very pleased that I could fit my fat calves and pants leg into the boots. The gusset is actually a collar at the top of the bootleg and you can tighten it it has more than enough room to accommodate big calves and pants leg. However you should get a boot puller it was hard getting them off. That's a good thing because I wear the knee-high rubber boots when I'm on the side of the Hill brush cutting and it helps if they're tight so that I don't twist an ankle.

Have to start off by saying I was never a rubber boot fan but these defiantly were worth every dime I spent on them. Wore them six days straight driving deer in the swamps of Southern New Jersey feet stayed 100% dry and warm (weather was mid 30's) probably logged a good 10-15 miles in them over the course of the week no blisters and the neoprene uppers were very comfortable & fit great on my legs and very easy to get off at the end of the day. Only thing keeping me from giving the boot 5 starts but absolutely would not stop me from buying them again was that the camo pattern did not hold up very well to 6 days of walking in the brush look at the pic I attached you can see clear difference between the upper portion of the boot that was protected by my bibs versus the toe and foot areas again this really isn't a big deal (too me anyway) as they are a hunting boot & meant to take abuse

Comfortable, easy on and off, room for jeans inside -it takes some maneuvering to make that comfortable. They're rated 0 to 70 degrees F which is partly why I choose this model so I can use them year round on the horse ranch. I think they'll be great in the spring, summer and fall. Below about 20-25 F they aren't warm enough, even with wool socks. I added Reflectix (foil covered bubble wrap) under the removable insole and that helped some -got the idea on youtube- but it won't get me through a northern Minnesota winter so I bought another pair too- Alphaburly Pro 18" 1600G insulation. They arrived today so I haven't worn them yet but there is a big difference in weight and the diameter around the toe - they're a lot bigger which I hope translates into warmer. I have four pair of LaCrosse boots including a pair of Alpha muddy which are great and Ice Man -heavy and clunky but warm- I only use them when I don't have to walk much like plowing snow or standing around for the farrier. I really like these Aphaburly Pro 18" boots. They'll keep my feet comfortable and my pant legs dry.

Sooooo I searched and searched for a warm weather waterproof boot and finally decided to give these a try for my husband. We are in Hawaii and my husband is a hunter as well as a yard maintenance guy so we def needed something durable, safe, and waterproof. These so far have been great for him and he was super pleased. I sure hope they hold up and will try to update. It was hard for me to choose size since there were mixed reviews BUT he is an 11EE since they do t offer width in his size I went with the 12 and he is pleased with the fit.

Finally the rains have arrived and I can use my boots and offer a review. I bought these instead of replacing my "Dunlops" STSP PU Cold Weather and saved $100.00 can.First off- 4 out of 5 stars as I could not rate durability and wear. I will report back in a year or sooner if the boots fail in any way, or remain in good condition after the "working" I am about to put them through. I gave 4 stars for my initial impression (construction) and fit (perfect). I also love the "Realtree" design. The "Made in China" Lacrosse boot is definitely not the boot made in Europe last century, and its construction is not the same. Everything is glued (as one would expect on the bottom), including the cinch strap at the back of the calf. It will be interesting to see how the back holds up after taking the boots off 100+ times. I like the tread, good grip and it does not clog up after walking in mud. The rubber on the body of the boot seems pretty decent and reacts well when walking. The neoprene inner also seems pretty decent and is quite nice in the cooler weather ("wet coast" rain). The cinch strap at the back is glued into place on both sides and that will be one of the first places, along with the back of the heel, that I will look for wear and failure. The plastic tab on the cinch strap has a decent locking feature, and so far, holds the strap in place. I sure like the extra room offered by loosening the strap when tucking in the pant into the top of the boot. The 'action' (folding in front) when walking is OK and so far doesn't rub or cause any concern. We will see if that holds up after walking many "klicks" during hunting season. I have used the boots in "the back 40", hiking (+crossing streams/creeks), and some basic homesteading, and so far I am pleasantly pleased. A very comfortable boot. I hope it lasts.

This Lacrosse boot fits extremely well, walks well on uneven ground and keeps your foot snug without rubbing. The only comment in a negative way is that being a "rubber" boot, my feet sweat when doing a lot of walking. None the less, an excellent buy and great product! Thanks Lacrosse

The best rubber boot I have ever bought. Fits well, with enough room for wool sock. Has held up where other rubber boots have split and leaked on me. 1 year of daily use and going strong. Only complaint is if you dont do up the gussets they can and will clip your boots together on you.

Très confortable et j'aime bien la hauteur de 18"pour les endroits plus profonde. Je les recommande.

Great boot! Comfortable for long walks with a backpack on open country. Great fit around the ankle preventing the boot from coming off in wetlands but allowing easy 'intentional' entry/ exit. Easy break in. Nice flex in upper with ample adjustment around leg. Nice sole with good traction.
