LaCrosse Alpha Lite II Snake Boots

LaCrosse Alpha Lite II 16" Snake Boots – Mossy Oak® Original Bottomland

Step into the woods with total confidence. The LaCrosse Alpha Lite II Snake Boot is engineered for the hunter who refuses to be limited by terrain or threats. Combining the legendary waterproof agility of the Alpha series with a 360° Snake Guard, these boots provide a fortress of protection from fangs and briars alike. Wrapped in the iconic Mossy Oak® Original Bottomland camouflage, these boots allow you to disappear into the timber while staying fully protected.

Built with LaCrosse’s signature Alpha Construction, these boots feature hand-laid premium rubber over a flexible neoprene core. This hybrid design ensures a 100% waterproof seal that moves with you, rather than against you. Underfoot, the Quad-Core® technology and 4xBurly outsole provide the stability and shock absorption needed for long hauls through mud, muck, and rugged forest floors.

FEATURES:

• 360° Snake Guard: A specialized, flexible snake-protection fabric is sandwiched between the liner and the exterior, offering full-height protection against strikes without adding the stiffness or weight of traditional snake boots.
  
• Alpha Construction: Hand-laid premium natural rubber over an insulating neoprene core provides a seamless, waterproof barrier that is both more durable and more flexible than standard PVC or rubber boots.
  
• 4xBurly Outsole: Features high-grade rubber with aggressive, angled lugs that naturally shed mud and debris. The 90-degree heel provides a secure "brake" for climbing and descending steep banks.
  
• Quad-Core® Technology: A four-layer cushioning system designed to support the foot through every phase of the stride, delivering all-day comfort during long-duration hunts.
  
• Active Fit: Specifically engineered to lock the heel in place to prevent rubbing and blisters, while remaining easy to pull on and off.
  
• Moisture-Wicking Liner: The quick-drying jersey knit liner moves sweat away from the skin, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in mild-to-cool conditions.
  
• Kick-Off Heel Plate: A reinforced spur at the heel allows for easy, hands-free removal—perfect for the end of a long day in the field.

Sizing & Fit Guide:

• Last Type: LC-01-M. This last is designed for an athletic, secure fit that mimics a lace-up boot’s stability in a slip-on design.
• Sizing Advice: Fits true to size.
• Pro Tip: If you wear a half-size, LaCrosse recommends sizing down (e.g., if you are a 10.5, order a 10) as the Active Fit system is designed to be snug to prevent heel slip.
• Calf Fit: The flexible neoprene core allows for a more forgiving fit on larger calves compared to rigid all-rubber boots.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• How does the Snake Guard work?
  
  LaCrosse uses a bite-proof fabric made of high-tenacity fibers. It is tested to withstand the piercing power of venomous snakes common in North America. By layering it inside the boot construction, you get protection that is flexible and quiet—crucial for stalking game.
  
  
• Are these boots warm enough for winter?
  
  These are Non-Insulated boots, making them ideal for spring turkey season or early fall deer hunts. While the neoprene core provides some natural thermal insulation, they are best rated for "Mild to Cool" weather (approx. 30°F to 70°F). For extreme winter conditions, look for Alpha boots with 800G+ Thinsulate.
  
  
• What is "Original Bottomland"?
  
  Mossy Oak Original Bottomland is the pattern that started it all. It is designed to mimic the dark bark and shadows of flooded timber and deep woods, making it arguably the most effective pattern for turkey and deer hunters in forested environments.
  
  
• How do I clean them?
  
  Because of the 4xBurly "mud-shedding" lugs, most debris will fall off as you walk. To maintain the rubber, simply rinse with water and use a mild soap if necessary. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber from "blooming" or cracking.
