I have a pair of Burly 800's and a pair of Rocky 500 (don't remember which model) in MOBU cost about $100 and would recommend the rocky's they are great boots.

I hunt all season in a pair of lacrosse burly 800's. Yea a little warm in the early part, but they keep my feet warm in the end. The cheaper uninsulated idea is a good one. My boots are fairly comfortable for my walk in and while standing in my spot. However I have had some instances where real long walks and/or drags really put a strain on my lower leg comfort level while in those boots.

Look at the Lacrosse Alpha line. I got a pair of these last year and used them all season. They're the most comfortable pair of rubber boots I've ever had. They dont make any contact above the ankle unless you wear thick socks. Last year during bow season, I would wear ankle socks with them and never got any blisters or anything.

Thank you for all of the suggestions/tips guys. I am going to print a copy of this thread and use it when I head to "belas" this summer to pick up a pair.

I'll never buy LaCrosse boots again, and I hope all of you follow suit. They say "made in America" but that is a lie. They shut down their factory in LaCrosse, Wisconsin putting about 800 employees out of work and moved to Mexico claiming "lower production costs will lower retail costs for consumers" I have only seen the price of their boots go up in the five years that they have been in Mexico. That means one thing and one thing only. The owners put 800 americans out of work so that they could put more money in their own bank accounts.
Boycott LaCrosse Boots!

have a set of lacross burly sports,, uninsulated,, wear them in the early season,, can't say enough about them,, comfortable, light weight, snug fit,
going to buy another set of them this year, insulated for late season hunting.. MOney well spent.. by the way i have found that if your feet sweat, spray them with unscented anti perspirant before putting on your socks,, really helps with cold feet..

I've only had one pair of boots and they were uninsulated Lacrosse Burleys. They were the only brand I could find that were wide enough for my feet. I really liked them at first as they were comfortable and warm in the late season with the right socks. This year they sprung a thousand leaks though and are pretty much useless to me now. I only got 1 1/2 years out of them so I'm a bit disappointed. The rubber cracked at the flex points and the seams started to come apart. [:@]

I wrote to Lacrosse and they said send them back for consideration on a new pair, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. They reiterated their return policy and said I may get a partial refund.

Frank, maybe if your sale is contigent upon how they treat my situation I'll get a new pair! I think I'll add that to the letter when I send back the boots........

Only one boot. LACROSSE ALPHA BURLY OR SPORT. Felt lining will keep your feet warm on colder days yet its amazingly cool and comfortable on hot days. I used mine for the first time this year from Sept. (upper 80's)
through January (upper 20's). They worked great and are very lightweight.

You guys disappoint me.
Their name should be changed to:
Las Botas de Mexico.

I have a few pairs of rubber boots (all Lacrosse, which are the best in my opinion). I find that I use the 1200's more then the others, but then again, it's pretty cold most of the time where I hunt. Most of the season is 20-40 degrees and I'm sitting in a treestand for much of it. I don't sweat much, while sitting in that temp.
