2008 Incentive Compensation Program

On December 21, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Company’s 2008 incentive compensation program (the “Incentive Program”). Executive officers and other employees who meet certain conditions will be eligible to participate in the Incentive Program. The Incentive Program provides for payment of incentive compensation equal to a percentage of the employee’s base salary. If Company goals are met, the employee will receive 100% of target incentive compensation. The percentage of annual base salary that is paid as incentive compensation increases in the event the Company achieves greater than 100% of the goals. The Incentive Program is based on minimum threshold levels for revenue growth, operating profit, and inventory turns. In addition, if the operating profit minimum threshold is not met, there can be no incentive payment. The Incentive Program description as distributed to the Company’s non-union employees is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Incentive Program does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

Exhibit 10.1

LaCrosse Footwear, Inc.

2008 Annual Incentive Compensation Plan Document

Objective/Overview

The LaCrosse Footwear Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan is designed to reward performance based on the achievement of desired annual corporate results. The LaCrosse Incentive Compensation Plan seeks to drive positive performance by targeting our greatest opportunity to increase shareholder value, which we’ve identified as profitable sales growth while maintaining a healthy balance sheet. The financial metrics for 2008 are sales growth, profitability and inventory turns.

LaCrosse funds the Incentive Compensation Plan solely from Company profits. The Company must achieve at least 75% of planned/budgeted 2008 operating profit dollars in order for any Incentive Compensation payout, regardless of the achievement of any other performance metric. Our Board of Directors approves the budgeted net sales and operating profit annually.

The guidelines for the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan are as follows:

Plan Year and Eligibility Requirements

The incentive compensation measurement plan year runs from January 1^st through December 31^st. All non-union LFI employees are eligible for the Incentive Compensation Plan unless the individual is on a Sales Commission Plan. No employee can be on more than one incentive compensation plan. Employees hired during the Plan year are eligible effective with their date of hire.

The employee must be actively employed by the Company on the payment date in order to receive any incentive compensation. Incentive compensation is not earned until paid. Payment date is anticipated to be by the end of the first quarter of the following year, but is at the discretion of the Company.

An employee must have a minimum individual performance rating of “3” to be eligible to receive any incentive compensation payout. An employee whose last overall performance rating is “1” or a “2” or is on written warning, will not be eligible to receive incentive compensation until such time as the associated corrective action plan has been successfully completed.

Incentive Payout Calculation

The actual incentive compensation payout, if any, is based on pro-rated annual base pay.

An individual’s incentive target compensation is set as a percentage of annual base pay. The incentive target compensation level for each employee is commensurate with his or her duties and responsibilities within the organization. The target levels are reviewed annually and employees are notified of any changes. Changes in target incentive compensation percentage are pro-rated for the months each rate is in effect.

Communication

To assure the success of our Incentive Compensation Plan, we will inform each participant of their target compensation percentage and the specific corporate performance targets. In addition, we will provide an update of the Company’s operating results and incentive compensation targets on a quarterly basis.

Company’s Discretion

The Company has full authority to modify, change, amend or terminate this plan at its complete discretion.

FINANCIAL COMPONENT

The financial component or metric will be computed at the corporate level as follows:

40	%	net sales growth OR manufacturing variances (for Portland manufacturing department only)
40	%	operating profit
20	%	inventory turns

40% — NET SALES GROWTH

Incentive payouts will be computed according to budgeted Net Sales.

Results versus Goal	Incentive Compensation Amount
< 94% of budget net sales dollars	No incentive compensation payout
Equal to or > 94% of budget net sales dollars	I.C. based on an incremental scale. There is no cap.

Exception: Portland Manufacturing has incentive compensation based on targeted manufacturing variances in-lieu of the net sales growth factor. There is a payout cap of 120% of variance target.

40% — OPERATING PROFIT

Incentive payouts will be computed according to Corporate Operating Profit.

Results versus Goal	Incentive Compensation Amount
< 75% of budget dollar amount	No incentive compensation payout
Equal to or >75% of budgeted Op. Profit $	I.C. based on an incremental scale. There is no cap.

7

20% — INVENTORY TURNS

Inventory turns will be based on the number of inventory turns computed for the full fiscal year and will be equal to standard COGS (no variances) for the year divided by average inventory. Average inventory will equal the sum of each month ending inventory divided by 12.

< 93% of planned inventory turns	No incentive compensation awarded.
Equal to or > 93% of planned Inv. Turns	I.C. based on an incremental scale. There is no cap.

Extraordinary Items and Board of Director Approval:

Extraordinary items will be evaluated by the Compensation Committee of the LaCrosse Board of Directors on a case-by-case basis as to the impact on incentive compensation. The definition of extraordinary items are items/events which are non-recurring and are not reflective of the on-going operation of the business as well as considered beyond management control.

LFI’s Board of Directors and Management reserves the right to change, alter, terminate, or modify this incentive compensation program as the business environment changes, or is deemed necessary. All payments are subject to Compensation Committee approval, after year-end financial statements have been audited.
