Ask DS - Lacrosse Alpha Lites

Need a new pair of boots. Thoughts from the brain trust?

I threw a pair in the trash. The stitching in the heel rubbed my foot so bad, I would get blisters after just a short walk. Company would'nt do anything. I won't buy Danner/Lacrosse any more. Customer service is terrible.

Just got a pair of Under Armour H.A.W. rubber/neoprene boots, and like them so far. Less slipping in the heel than others (like Mucks) I tried on.

alpha lites made it through 2 rabbit hunts and I had 2 holes in each boot where the hard rubber meets the neoprene.

I wore mine probably a dozen times. Only complaint i have is that i have a wide fat foot and they are a little tighter than the old rubber ones.

I have a pair and they are the best fitting boots....and most comfortable that I've ever owned. They truly feel like tennis shoes on my feet.......just heavier. I will say though......the neoprene is pretty weak and will tear if you walk through briars or anything rough. I have the 7.0s.

i have a pair and love them. not so warm for me but bow hunts and mild days they are good. left them in back of truck for a week this summer upside down and the soles came off. emailed them and they said they cant do anything about it. but did give a $25 gift card good at their online store.

i love my mucks way better. or the older rubber burly in 800 or 1200 for cold or non-insulated for bow hunting.

My Muck boots are 4 years old now I think. I punched a hole in them with a piece of metal, which was my fault. other than that, i've been pleased and are still wearing the mucks with the hole in them...
spend another few dollars and go with the muck boots.
