I was forced to replace my Lacrosse grange boots from 2007. Their new boots feel like they are made out of plastic and very boxy feeling. The Le Chameau's have a great return policy after trying on two sizes. The pros - the rubber is a very good quality and does not seem like they will crack easily. The cons - they do not feel comfortable in the foot bed. My old Grange boots felt like tennis shoes walking. These boots feel ok, just more room for your foot to slide around or heel to come up in the boot. I use the boots for field work walking through wetlands and farming so we will see how they hold up.
