NAVIGATOR SERIES – NO BOUNDARIES

LaCrosse’s Navigator Series was born to take your hunt farther. Boots made to tame the untamable and explore the unexplored. LaCrosse took their expertise in rubber and combined it with the comfort and versatility of leather to develop a line of lace-up hunting boots with superior comfort, stability and durability in the field.

WOMEN’S

LODESTAR

MEN’S: $220 - $230 WOMEN’S: $230 Packed with premium components including a 100% waterproof breathable GORE-TEX liner and exclusive Vibram® outsole with omni-directional lugs, the men’s and women’s Lodestar aims to elevate your hunting experience. Serious stability and comfort are provided through LaCrosse’s new lightweight, full-length shank system, dispersing weight evenly underfoot and offering torsional rigidity to the boot for support on untamed terrain. A DuraFit rubber heel cup and HexGuard rubber toe ensure durability no matter the conditions you find yourself in. Feature rich and ready to hunt, the Lodestar is an ideal boot for navigating the backcountry.

NWTF SNAKE BOOTS

LaCrosse is proud to not only offer best-in-class comfort and venomous snake protection when it comes to turkey hunting boots, but to also partner with the National Wild Turkey Federation and create snake boots featuring NWTF Mossy Oak® Obsession™ camouflage. With every sale of these styles, a portion of the purchase goes back to the NWTF to further support wild turkey conservation and the continued enjoyment of turkey hunting for generations to come.

M/W VENOM II $230

With any luck, you will never need to lean on the protection of the Venom II’s ultra-flexible Snake Guard. However, if you happen to cross paths with a venomous snake in the turkey woods or on the farm, you will be glad to have it. The LaCrosse Venom II, available in men’s and women’s sizing, features a Dry-Core® waterproof lining to keep you dry when your hunt takes you into wet and swampy terrain. Built upon a lightweight, comfortable platform underfoot, the athletic feel will keep you moving forward.
