LaCrosse Burly Air Grip 18" Insulated Waterproof Rubber Boots

LaCrosse Burly Air Grip 18" Insulated Waterproof Rubber Boots

Since 1963, the Burly has been a cornerstone of cold-weather utility. The LaCrosse Burly Air Grip takes that classic foundation and adds a specialized, high-performance undercarriage designed specifically for the nastiest, most unforgiving terrain. If you are working in deep mud, heavy snow, or freezing muck that typically "clogs" standard boots, the Air-Grip system is engineered to keep you moving.

Built with premium ZXT Rubber, the Burly Air Grip is essentially a fortress for your feet. It features polymeric foam insulation paired with a unique Wool Felt Midsole, which provides a natural barrier against the cold rising from frozen ground while promoting air circulation. With the signature Ankle Fit™ design to prevent heel slip and a self-cleaning tread pattern, this boot is the ultimate heavy-duty solution for winter chores, farming, and late-season hunting.

FEATURES:

• Air-Grip Outsole: Features a specialized, aggressive tread pattern designed to be self-cleaning. It utilizes the flex of the boot to eject mud, muck, and snow with every step, ensuring you maintain maximum traction.
  
  
• Wool Felt Midsole: A natural insulator that blocks cold transfer from the ground. It also aids in moisture management and odor control, keeping the interior environment drier and more comfortable.
  
  
• Foam Insulation: A layer of polymeric foam provides reliable warmth for "Cool to Cold" conditions, making these ideal for freezing environments and active winter work.
  
  
• ZXT Rubber Construction: Hand-laid natural rubber is formulated to be ozone and tear-resistant, preventing the cracking and "dry rot" common in cheaper synthetic boots.
  
  
• Signature Ankle Fit™: A narrowed heel pocket locks your foot securely in place, preventing the rubbing and "slop" that leads to blisters during long days on your feet.
  
  
• Adjustable Top Strap: The gusseted collar includes a cam-lock buckle to customize the fit around your calf, effectively sealing out snow and debris.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• How does this differ from the standard Burly?
  The "Air Grip" version features a different outsole and midsole. The Air-Grip outsole is specifically designed to shed mud more efficiently than the standard chevron tread. It also adds a Wool Felt Midsole, which provides extra warmth and air circulation that the standard model lacks.
  
  
• Is this boot good for snow?
  Yes. The combination of foam insulation and the wool felt midsole makes it excellent for snow. The Air-Grip outsole is also specifically rated for traction in snowy and slushy conditions.
  
  
• Can I wear these for industrial work?
  These are excellent for farming, ranching, and outdoor utility work. However, they are Plain Toe boots and do not have a steel or composite safety toe for construction sites that require ASTM safety ratings.
  
  
• Are they heavy?
  At 5.3 lbs per pair, these are heavier than the standard Burly (4.5 lbs). The extra weight comes from the thicker Air-Grip sole and the felt midsole, providing more durability and insulation for heavy-duty use.
