best bet is to go to shop and try both on. bring your hunting sock you use.walk the store with idea of WHICH FEELS LIKE IT IS HOLDING BETTER TO MY ANKLE.

this is why lacroose is so hard to get off SOMETIMES.my 1500 is easy to get off because it is 1 size bigger. my grouse ones i made same size as my foot and ITS A BEAR TO GET OFF but i need a tight boot to walk 3 miles hunting grouse.
if loose it would rub your ankle.
on 1500 i only walk say 1 mile to my deer stand.with HEAVY sock and 1 size bigger it is fine but if i wore that boot with light sock, it would rub.
so i have 2 boots for hunting and both LACROOSE ..........
