Our Take on LaCrosse Grange 18″ Hunting Boots
When we first slipped into the LaCrosse Men’s Grange 18″ Waterproof Hunting Boot, we immediately understood why this rubber classic has stuck around for decades. The tall shaft and snug ankle fit gave us a sense of security trudging through cattails, creek beds, and muddy fence lines. They’re not plush or high-tech, but the simplicity is part of the appeal: waterproof rubber, aggressive outsole, and a design that shrugs off abuse. During our early-morning walks to the stand, our feet stayed dry and supported, though we did find ourselves wishing for more insulation when temperatures really dropped. These boots feel purpose-built for wet, sloppy conditions rather than deep-winter hunts, and in that role, they deliver a reliably no-nonsense performance.

Our Take on Extremus MudRidge Hunting Boots
When we first laced up the Extremus MudRidge Hunting Boots by KastKing, we weren’t expecting them to feel this comfortable right out of the box. The 6mm neoprene lining hugs the foot snugly, offering solid insulation without turning our socks into a sweaty mess. Trudging through ankle-deep mud and slick creek banks, the all-terrain anti-slip sole gave us enough bite to move with confidence instead of tiptoeing around puddles. We also appreciated that the rubber shell shrugged off thorns, farm debris, and errant hooks during quick fishing detours. While we’ll need an entire season to judge long-term durability, our early impressions are that these boots strike a practical balance between warmth, weather protection, and traction for hunters, anglers, and anyone who spends serious time in wet, cold ground.
