I have a pair of the LaCrosse Ursa MS boots.
I have merely broken them in with 15(ish) miles on them.
They are a bit stiffer than my Salomon Quest boots, but not as stiff as a mountaineering boot.
I have used them in hardwood hills in the east.
They have solid traction when going straight up the hill (steep, to where your hand is touching the ground in front of you when climbing).
The ankle support seems solid when side hilling and wearing a 35lb pack.
I have narrow heels, there was some heel slippage.
I have installed a pair of SheepFeet, but haven't worn them yet.
When I resolve the heel slippage, the boots should be awesome.
More to come through hunting season.
