I wanted to share with you my recent experience with the newest bootLacrosse has added to their arsenal of fantastic products, the AeroHead Sport.  Let me preface this review with the fact that I reached out to Lacrosse regarding their footwear because I have been a user and believer in their hunting boots for 15 or so years now. 

As a matter of fact including the pair of AeroHead Sports in this review I currently own 4 pairs of Lacrosse boots;  an uninsulated pair of AlphaBurly’s, a 1000g Thinsulate insulated pair of AlphaBurly’s (which I’ve had forever), and a pair of steel toed rubber boots for the farm and industrial work.  None of which have failed in any way, shape, or form!  Now that I’ve given you my opinion on Lacrosse boots in general let’s get into the details on the AeroHead Sport. From the Lacrosse website:

“The AeroHead Sport completely changes what a rubber hunting boot can be by replacing the rubber shell with one made of extremely durable, lightweight, and insulating polyurethane.  Designed for optimal fit and flexibility, the waterproof AeroHead Sport is built for ultimate comfort and will keep hunters light on their feet.  Its Brush Tuff material stands up to unforgiving brush and briers while an abrasion resistance shin guard offers extra protection without added bulk.”

Initial Thoughts

When I opened the box and pulled the boots out all I could think about was sitting in a deer stand on a frosty fall morning.  The boots were a far cry from the old slip on rubber boots of my youth and the camoflauge pattern on the upper was clear and concise.  The AeroForm lower shell felt strong but not stiff and I liked the addition of the protective shin guards on the front of the upper.  Please note I tested the 7mm neoprene model.  They  are also offered in a 3.5 neoprene configuration.

Final Thoughts

I am looking forward to hunting in these boots this fall.  They are comfortable and I foresee them being as warm as any other boots I have hunted in if not warmer.  They will certainly move better with me on some of my longer hikes in and I won’t go change them when I have to pick up a blood trail that may or may not be a short one. 

I recommend these to any of you deer hunters or anyone who needs to stay warm and waterproof but yet have the ability to go mobile under the right conditions. 

Disclaimer:  I received these boots at no charge from Lacrosse in return for a fair and unbiased review.  I receive no additional compensation whether you choose to buy a pair or not.  I will say if I were going to purchase a new pair of hunting boots this year, these would have been it anyway.
