LaCrosse doesn’t publish a first responder discount of its own, but GovX lists exclusive Military, First Responder, Medical and Government discounts on LaCrosse Footwear, and joining GovX is free. GovX doesn’t print a percentage on its LaCrosse page, so the route is to verify with GovX and compare the price there against LaCrosse’s own.
LaCrosse says it began as the La Crosse Rubber Mills Company, and that its first footwear venture came later out of that rubber mill. Its history page credits Arthur S. Funk, the son of founder Michael Funk, with pioneering the development of synthetic rubber, and it says the company introduced the first double-insulated construction in the Iceman boot. LaCrosse puts its approach in one line, saying everything it makes is built with purpose. Its menu is built around rubber and leather boots: Rubber Hunt Boots, Leather Hunt Boots, Chore Boots, Deck Boots, Snake Boots, Duck Boots and Cold Weather Boots, plus a Work category.
How To Get The LaCrosse Footwear First Responder Discount
The route is GovX. Join, which GovX says is free for life, verify under the group that fits your job, and open LaCrosse’s page there. GovX describes the brand as “Waterproof boots for hunting, work, and outdoor life,” and it filters the boots by Waterproof and Water Resistant. That header tells you what you’re shopping for: LaCrosse is a wet-weather and outdoor boot maker, so this is a brand to look at if your shifts or your off days are spent in mud, water or cold.
When you join, GovX gives you a GOVX ID, which it says can verify your Military or First Responder status at partner websites with no documents to upload and no sensitive information to share.
Who Can Join GovX
GovX takes three kinds of first responder. Firefighters qualify whether they’re full-time or volunteer, at municipal departments or at the National Parks Service, US Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management. Law enforcement officers qualify at the federal, state and local level, from state police and highway patrol to sheriff’s and city police departments, correctional facilities, and agencies like the FBI, ATF, DEA, BOP and US Marshals. Emergency medical workers qualify too, including EMTs, paramedics, registered nurses and trauma nurses.
GovX also supports military spouses and dependents ages 18 to 24, and all full-time federal, state and local government employees can join, though not government contractors.
LaCrosse’s Own Membership Isn’t A First Responder Discount
LaCrosse runs a membership program of its own. It says members get free shipping on orders over $50, discounted 2-day shipping, a birthday surprise, free return shipping and early access to sale events. That’s open to any shopper, so don’t mistake it for a first responder price. It may still be worth having once you’ve found your boot on GovX, but it’s a separate thing.
Before You Buy
Neither LaCrosse’s own pages nor GovX publish a first responder rate for the brand, so compare totals. Pick the exact model on GovX and on lacrossefootwear.com, with the same size and width, and look at the final price on each. Check whether the boot is listed as Waterproof or Water Resistant, since GovX’s filters keep the two apart.
