With over 125 years of experience crafting premium boots for hunters and outdoorsmen, LaCrosse Footwear introduces the Ursa ES—a high-performance boot purpose-built to meet the demands of early season hunts. Designed with agility, breathability, and lightweight mobility in mind, the Ursa ES enables hunters to move quickly, close the distance with precision, and cover more ground with less fatigue.
Engineered for versatility, the Ursa ES handles a wide range of early season conditions, including fluctuating temperatures, stream crossings, and long hikes into the backcountry. The upper is constructed from breathable nylon combined with rugged suede, striking the perfect balance between toughness and minimal weight. These materials not only hold up to abrasions and brush but also reduce break-in time—so you’re ready to head out right away. A GORE-TEX waterproof liner ensures complete protection from rain, dew, and shallow water, while remaining highly breathable to keep feet cool during the dry heat of late summer.
Underfoot, the Ursa ES features a bi-fit board that combines the shank, lasting board, and midsole into a single unified platform. This innovation sheds unnecessary weight while maintaining essential support and stability, allowing you to remain fast and confident even on rough or uneven ground. Additionally, a rubberized EVA midsole provides critical cushioning and shock absorption, ensuring long-lasting comfort mile after mile.
For optimal grip, LaCrosse collaborated with Vibram® to develop a custom outsole tailored specifically for early-season terrain. Using Vibram®’s high-performance Megagrip rubber compound, the sole delivers outstanding traction in both wet and dry environments, giving you the confidence to tackle steep inclines, muddy paths, and slick rocks.
As part of LaCrosse’s trusted Ursa Collection, the ES complements the Ursa MS (midseason) and Ursa LS/LS 400g (late-season cold-weather options), offering hunters a complete footwear system for every phase of the season.
The Ursa ES is available now at LaCrosseFootwear.com and select retailers nationwide. Retailing for $250, it comes in men’s sizes 7–15 (regular width) and 8–14 (wide width).
