About LaCrosse Footwear
LaCrosse Footwear has crafted rubber and leather boots in Portland, Oregon since 1897, producing hunting boots, work boots, and specialty footwear known for waterproof durability in the harshest conditions.
Heritage & History
LaCrosse Footwear was founded in 1897 in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where the company spent nearly a century crafting rubber overshoes, work boots, and hunting footwear for Midwestern farmers, hunters, and laborers. The brand became particularly known for its rubber boots — the kind worn by duck hunters in the marshes of the Mississippi flyway and farmers working muddy fields.
The company relocated its headquarters to Portland, Oregon, and maintains American manufacturing capabilities for select lines including its premium hunting boot collection. The Alpha series of hunting boots, manufactured in Portland, represents the current pinnacle of LaCrosse's American craftsmanship.
Made in Portland, Oregon
LaCrosse Footwear produces its premium Alpha hunting boot series at the Portland, Oregon facility. The Alpha series uses 100% waterproof neoprene construction, meaning the boot itself is made from neoprene rather than having a waterproof liner inserted inside a non-waterproof shell. This construction method creates a boot that remains flexible in cold temperatures while providing complete waterproofing from sole to top.
Portland sits in the Pacific Northwest, where wet conditions year-round create genuine testing environments for waterproof footwear. The boot builders at the Portland facility work with hand-cutting and lasting techniques that have been refined over generations of American production. For hunters who wade cold marshes and anglers who work wet wading in mountain streams, a LaCrosse Alpha boot built in Oregon represents decades of waterproof engineering.
