LaCross and LaChemeu Chasseurs are no comparison. I wouldn't trade my wore out Chasseurs for a life time supply of a the LaCross granger boots...no real comparison one is a battle to get on and off and in hot weather wet and clammy inside the leather lined LaChemue is neither. Gil them zippers look cool....Russell talked me into letting them put a zipper in mine...guess what when I got them I put them on and laced them up un zipped them and they would not come off without unlacing them.
