In this article I will use my boots to discuss Lacrosse boots sizing. We will discuss: How do Lacrosse Boots fit? Do Lacrosse Boots run big or small?What to consider when buying Lacrosse bootsReview of how my boots have held up How Do Lacrosse Boots Fit? Getting the correct sizing for your Lacrosse boots is critical, especially if you buy a traditional style that doesn't have an adjustable gusset for easy on-off. You definitely don't want boots that fit too tight, because not only will they be a pain to wear, but it will also take a team of people to pry them off your feet. Lacrosse boots are sized according to the Brannock device (source), which is the standard foot measuring tool for the world's footwear industry. If you've shopped for shoes in-store before, you've probably used one of these Brannock devices to measure your foot size. The takeaway here is that because Lacrosse uses the Brannock device to size their boots, it is safe to assume that their boots run true-to-size in most styles. Do Lacrosse Boots Run Small or Big? In general, expect Lacrosse boots to run true-to-size. Sizing and fit is something this company does very well in my opinion. Not only do almost all of their boots run true-to-size, many of them are very easy to get on and off, and have adjustable straps for secure fit. I actually own a more traditional-styled Lacrosse boot, the LaCrosse Insulated Mid-Calf Work Boot. Although my Lacrosse boots run true-to-size, if you are naturally in between sizes, I would recommend sizing up just so you have a bit of extra room to get your feet out of these boots. The snug fit is essential in helping to keep your foot warm and dry while working, but for the traditional style that simply pull on/off, getting them off is a bit of a struggle. This is the current price of these boots at Amazon (affiliate link takes you to Amazon.com). If you are looking for a dependable pair of rubber work boots, they will do the job. If you want to avoid the on/off struggle, just buy one of their pairs of boots that have the adjustable backside gusset for easy on/off. That said, I wear my normal sizing in these Lacrosse boots and the fit (and boot itself) are very comfortable and easy to work in. Are Lacrosse Boots Worth It? Personally, I love the feel and dependability of Lacrosse boots. I mainly use mine for outdoor work in wet conditions. I know there are other quality brands of neoprene boots on the market, but I will be sticking with Lacrosse. My boots are about 6-8 years old (can't recall exactly when they were purchased). Overall, they have held up well despite the fact that I use them quite frequently. I use them not only in wet conditions but also just for general house and yard work outside (you can see a bit of paint on mine). I feel like the bottom outsoles of my boots still provide quality traction even after years of use. Certainly there is a bit of wear on the tread, but not a lot: These boots are insulated and really do keep my feet warm in wet/cold conditions. I actually use these boots to shovel snow as well. They are dependable and check all the boxes (waterproof, warm, well-made etc). 4 Things to Consider When Buying Lacrosse Boots Coverage - What type of coverage do you need? Lacrosse offers ankle boots, mid-calf boots (that's what I have), knee-high boots, hip boots, and waders. This gives you several different types of coverage options so that you can pick what you need. If you are simply looking for a standard work or outdoor boot, I'd recommend sticking with the mid-calf or knee-high boots. Safety - Lacrosse does offer steel-toe rubber work boots if you need that. They also have chemical-resistant and and electrical-hazard boots. On/Off - As I mentioned above, the traditional pull-on rubber boots can be a bit of a pain to get on/off. They are ultra-comfortable, but pulling them off can be a chore. If you don't want to struggle with it, buy a pair of Lacrosse boots that have the adjustable gusset in the back for easy on/off. Insulation - Lacrosse offers a wide range of insulation so that you can find a warmth that works best for your region. This includes boots that have an "arctic" rating and can handle temperatures as low as -70°F. Click here if you want to read more about how their boots are tested and given a temperature rating. In conclusion, I strongly recommend Lacrosse boots as a go-to work and outdoor boot. Mine have stood up well over 5+ years and I feel like they still have decent life left in them. For my region (Kansas), they keep me warm during the cool winter months and provide waterproof support when I need to work outside. Where to Buy Lacrosse Boots?
