Thanks for the honest appraisal, not the boot they used to make, but still way to go. Thanks for the 800 gram vs.un-insulated split discussion, appreciated.
I once had a pair of Lacrosse steel toe work boots that were so comfortable and stable that I would wear them hunting! They just disappeared one day from my gear...hmmm. Thanks for the review, I was just looking this week for some good swamp boots, you have me sold.
Thanks for the review. Lacrosse boots are one of the best IMO, particularly the older ones like you mentioned. I still have a pair of Iceman pac boots my Dad purchased for me over 25 years ago that look good as new and keep my feet toasty in sub-freezing temps. I went with a pair of light weight muck boots (Wetland) this year for general scouting and hunting in warmer temps. So far so good, but I think I'll look into the Burly boots for next time.
Great video! Appreciate the honest review. I always wear out my boots on the inner heel area. I have the uninsulated version for spring turkey/early bow season. Thinking about getting the 800’s for colder weather whitetail sits. I don’t wear them every day but no signs of wear yet, they seem to be a little more slick on the inside vs the fleece interior in a Muck type boot. Maybe that will help me get more years out of these
Good stuff i have a real nice winter boot from them and i hardly have to wear them they are so warm and heavy duty, good quality brand i could climb a mountain with these suckers
I have a couple of pairs of Lacrosse rubber boots, and waders. I like what I have. but those vintage rubber boots of yours are very nice. I would love to get my hands on a pair of all of those rubber boots that you have, especially the pair in the middle, and to the right.
Gumleaf boots makes excellent 100% rubber hunting boots. I hear they are amazing. I have not tried them yet but might be exactly what you are looking for.
@@SamkoTradBow I will check them out. If by chance you ever decide you want to sell a pair of yours. I will gladly take them. If I was you I would not part with those vintage ones ever, lol. Really great looking rubber boots
@@SamkoTradBow I really like those vintage rubber boots of yours. If you can do another video sometime of you wearing a pair of them, would be great to see.
Love my mucks .. but seems like I walk the bottoms lick real quick .. usually in a little over a season ... and when they are slick .. they are deadly.. wanna try these
Mucks are good boots! But I think the quality, warmth, and durability of the lacrosse make them better and for me the ankle fit may be a pain to get on and off but the comfort and lack of fatigue is well worth it.
Having owned both lacrosse burly 1000g and the muck woody elites, I ended up giving my burlys away because they were wayyy to heavy and bulky and feet still got cold, the muck woody elites are the best imo I’m on my second pair first pair lasted me 9 yrs
Its good try to try both muck and lacrosse. Glad you found what works best for you. I did the same but went the other way. keep the lacross for hunting like I always used but bought to muck arctic pro to test out and all i use them for is plowing snow and yard work in the winter. Its great that there are a few good boot companies out there to fit the needs of everyone.
Thank you, your reviews are great. Wondering what you (or your viewers) think of snake boots vs. rubber boots in terms of protection from bites? It's hard to find a pair of insulated, waterproof, snake boots that can do duty from fall (when snakes are still active) through to the late season. Thoughts?
Many southerners wear lacrosse burly rubber boots in the cooler Temps and I don't believe snakes can bite thru the rubber deep enough to get ya. But many of those same people switch to actual snake boots in the warmer weather where chances are higher. For snake boots I love the lacrosse rubber ones.
Hi Jason, I just found your channel and I am really enjoying it. This was my first season hunting with a traditional bow. I was blessed to get two deer with a recurve and one deer with a longbow. After many years of compound hunting, traditional archery has made hunting fun again. Anyways, my question is what height do you prefer to set your tree stands for optimum shot angles while still not getting busted? I used to hunt 25ft plus with a compound but it seems that anything over 20 ft is too high for my longbow. Thanks for your input.
Glad you are enjoying the trad life! Your right that with trad bows if you go to high you get poor shot angles. I prefer to be no higher than 16-18 feet and often at 14. Just need to be high enough to get to the cover. Heck alot of the time I'm at 7 feet in a cedar or small pine.
Have seen the gumleaf boots in person. Kevin from the deer hunting podcast has and loves them. Next time I need to buy rubber knee high boots I might try the gum leafs. Right now though I still have 4 pairs of burlys that I need to wear out first..lol
fuck all that just buy some new ones they aren’t even expensive never have been i buy 18” grange and 32”inch grange hip boots whenever i need to simple man
@@SamkoTradBow yeah i forgot depends on where you live here Louisiana we don’t need the insulated ones the Grange will have your feet sweating bullets in 40° only boots i wear, can’t beat the consistency and price
Man that smile at the beginning sold me. That's a man happy to talk about the gear he's had a good time using.
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it.

Always the to-the-point reviews. I recognize his experience, me being just like him. Tells it like it is.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for your honest review because of your videos I brought my self a pair of keen summit and lacrosse grange more than satisfied!
Awesome! Glad you are enjoying the boots!

My step dad still talks about how great the iceman boys were!!!

I know exactly what you mean. Ive had that before too. then that heel area bunches up and causes hot spots fast too.
@@SamkoTradBow For sure, have you had that with the 800’s?
Good stuff i have a real nice winter boot from them and i hardly have to wear them they are so warm and heavy duty, good quality brand i could climb a mountain with these suckers
Yep lacrosse makes great boots

@@rhymeandreasoning yeah I baby my original pairs and wear them in "safer" areas. I use my new ones to trash and best up in the nasty stuff.
@@SamkoTradBow I really like those vintage rubber boots of yours. If you can do another video sometime of you wearing a pair of them, would be great to see.
@@SamkoTradBow All three pairs of those vintage ones are nice. The middle pair and the ones on far right, VERY NICE

@@SamkoTradBow this deer season is just about done... next year this is what I'm getting
What do you wear hunting when these aren’t needed? Thanks for the video
Keen leather boots. Pittsburgh soft toes for early season and revel 4 for later.
Having owned both lacrosse burly 1000g and the muck woody elites, I ended up giving my burlys away because they were wayyy to heavy and bulky and feet still got cold, the muck woody elites are the best imo I’m on my second pair first pair lasted me 9 yrs

@@SamkoTradBow MUCH appreciated ~ I'll check out the Lacrosse snake boots as well. Thank you.
I love Lacrosse boots but the quality went down when they left Lacrosse Wisconsin a went overseas! Quality sells
Agree 100%.
Thanks for the review. What temp range do you feel comfortable wearing the 800g?
I have worn them into the teens with chemical toe warmers and been good. But I would say 20s to be safe with 2 pairs of socks
Lacrosse Grange Green Rubber Boots are The Only Rubber Boots I wear. They are Very Popular Here in Louisiana"
Yep amazing boot. Glad they have not changed it in so long. It's perfect just like it is.
Un insulated speaking, the lacrosse is the best rubber boot imo
Agree 100%

@@SamkoTradBow Thanks!
I'd love to see a review on Gumleaf rubber boots. 85% rubber made in UK. 10% off with code BOWHUNT. You should check them out

Pretty
ankle fit is ok for you little guys, the only reason i don,t like them .....otherwise good vid.
Yeah I love the ankle fit when in the mud and muck
fuck all that just buy some new ones they aren’t even expensive never have been
i buy 18” grange and 32”inch grange hip boots whenever i need to simple man
The grange versions are great but uninsulated.
@@SamkoTradBow yeah i forgot depends on where you live
here Louisiana we don’t need the insulated ones the Grange will have your feet sweating bullets in 40°
only boots i wear, can’t beat the consistency and price
In other words... it’s garbage
Compared to what they used to be 25 years ago, yes. Compared to what's available today, nothing else comes close.
