After many years of hard use my LaCrosse Burly Boots have just about had it. The sides of the boots where they scrape along the bark on trees when climbing have grown thin and one boot just developed a small hole.
These are the original "Burly Boot" with light insulation and "bob" soles and I have been very happy with them. I am not sure if I should replace them with a pair just like them or try the newer "neopreme" style. Any input concerning the "neopreme" model, toughness-durability, or whatever would be appreciated.

The alpha's won't be as durable as the original burly boot but they are way more comfortable and also weigh less which makes walking long distances much more bearable. The alpha style boots are also much easier to get on and off which was abig selling point for me since I've got bad heels which kill me when I have to try and pry burly's off.

I'm a huge LaCrosseboot fan, and I'm on my third pair of regular Burelys as we speak. ButI have to admit, for very cold weather, I'd rather go with a Pak boot instead of the rubber knee high boots.LaCrosse makes the Ice king pak boot, andthis is what I'd go with for extremely cold weather when sitting in a stand for hours on end. Other than that, their rubber knee high boots are awesome.

I have the Burly ATS 800gr boots and I love them. They are very comfortable and they and depending on how heavy your socks are they work good in temp ranges from 0-60 degrees.
