Lacrosse. I have two pairs. My 400s have a lot of years under them. The soles are wore down to the point that they have no grip on them anymore. I have no reason to buy a different boot

I just found out my Mucks are leaking. I'll look into those aeroheads. Drake makes some nice stuff too, I'll check them out.

I have two pairs of boots right now.

I have a pair of mucks, that have gotten just ripped apart from the stuff I am scouting and hunting in. The tops of them look like I let a kid have a free for all with a pair of scissors.

The other pair, is a lacrosse aerohead boot. I absolutely love these boots. They are holding up absolutely great to the stuff im putting them through. The fit and feel of them is great. Feels like a shoe on your foot. These are my go to boots now.

X2 on the aeroheads. Still holding up strong after 2 seasons.

My lacrosses started falling apart within a month, I have been glueing or taping them for 4 seasons, never did leak just soles peeling off. Muck is coming out with a laced neoprene boot this year I may look at.

This year I used the Aeroheads almost every hunt. With barely any water to deal with it seemed unnecessary. But I came away impressed.
Comfortable and durable so far. The advice from here to try them was good, like virtually ALL ADVICE HERE.

I have a pair of Muck Arctic Pro's and a pair of LaCross Aeroheads 7mm. The LaCross are definitely more durable, comfortable and lighter than the Mucks. The Mucks are warmer and have a better tread on them than the LaCross. Thats the only complaint I have about the Aeroheads is that the tread sucks on them....especially when its muddy out!

I own 3 pair of mucks...a light early season boot, mid season Woody Max and Late Season Arctic Pro. Got a crazy deal a few years ago 3 pairs for 222$. With that said, they are decent. Mine have lasted because I switch them through the season. I don't scout in my hunting boots ever so that helps. I usually buy a cheap 50$ pair of Rangers for scouting and they last a couple years. My next pair will be the Aeroheads.

I've had 3pairs of muck boots(slow learner). They are comfortable but I've left the soles in the woods somewhere in muck with all three. I may try lacrosse this year. I've had bad luck with rubber boots so I have resorted to cheapest ones at tractor supply.

The mucks are warm but I doubt I'll buy another pair cuz they take so long to dry out. They're pretty easy for me to get the insides sweaty on a long walk

I picked up a pair EVA boots with a removable wool felt liner. Nothing fancy, but theyve held up for 2 seasons and are significantly lighter than straight up rubbers. I can leave the liner out on the hike in and out to avoid sweating up my boot and ive also started bringing a change of socks. Makes a huge difference in all day sits to have dry feet and dry insulation on stand. Especially now that I'm doing long hikes in with a stand on back.

I have been a Lacrosse boot wearer for years and loved them, with that said I bought a set of Irish Setter Rut Masters and they are fantastic. Lightweight. warm, and the traction is fantastic for muddy/slippery walks and on hills
