The first pair of Lacrosse boots I bought were the Alpha Burly I believe. At first I didn't like them because I had a few snags in the rubber covered neoprene part of the boots. Swore up and down I wouldn't get another pair because of that, even though they didn't leak at all because of it. Since then I've tried a couple other brands and to this day I still find myself going back and wearing those Lacrosse boots. Most comfortable and warm boot I own. Been looking at a new pair of them, perhaps with a bit more warmth built in this time.
