Ever notice how sometimes the most comfortable footwear boils down to simple design and comfortable fit? Since 1897, Portland, Oregon-based LaCrosse Footwear has produced a line of rugged, durable footwear for outdoor pursuits, whether you’re working on the farm or splashing through puddles.
Their footwear is categorized into work, hunt, waders and outdoor boots, so you can select a pair based on how you best engage with nature.

From colourful wellies to thermal boots, there’s a LaCrosse style and colour to suit both taste and lifestyle.
We selected these Aero Timber Top Shearling Boots for their classic rustic brown suede/dark olive duck boot style, ease of tucking into straight jeans and ability to work into leisure wardrobes. In fact, they have a loose fit so that jeans won’t have a problem tucking right in!
They’re lined with waterproof, soft shearling and feature a side zipper, back pull tab and grippy rubber outsole for good traction on uneven terrain.
I originally found these boots to be a tad narrow (I started off wearing them with cotton socks), but after several wears with medium-thick wool socks, they expanded in width to fit!
The Aero Timber Tops sport a suede leather upper that’s naturally water resistant. The shell bottom is made from AeroFrom, a newer technology, that replaces rubber with polyurethane to make for a lighter weight boot with increased flexibility, durability and waterproofness.
Another benefit of AeroForm is that it won’t transfer cold surfaces to your feet, so you can enjoy autumn and winter walks in cozy comfort.
