LACROSSE FOOTWEAR REPORTS
THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Quarterly Sales Up 9%; Work Sales Up 29%;
Strong Military Orders and At-Once Demand in Niche Markets
Maintaining Strong Gross Margins

Portland, Ore.—October 27, 2008 — LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOT), a leading provider of branded work and outdoor footwear, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 27, 2008.

For the third quarter of 2008, LaCrosse reported consolidated net sales of $40.3 million, up 9% from $36.9 million in the third quarter of 2007. For the first three quarters of 2008, consolidated net sales were $92.8 million, up 9% from $85.5 million in the same period of 2007.

Net income was $2.8 million or $0.43 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $3.3 million or $0.52 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2007. Results for the third quarter of 2008 include expenses of approximately $1.2 million related to the establishment and operation of the Company’s new European subsidiary. For the first three quarters of 2008, net income was $5.0 million or $0.78 per diluted share, up 2% from $4.9 million or $0.77 per diluted share for the same period in 2007.

Sales to the work market were $19.4 million for the third quarter of 2008, up 29% from $15.1 million for the same period of 2007. For the three quarters of 2008, sales to the work market were $54.7 million, up 25% from $43.7 million for the same period of 2007. During the third quarter of 2008, the growth in work market sales reflects shipments of approximately $3.2 million to the United States Marine Corps and the U.S. Army, related to previously announced delivery orders. The Company expects to ship the $3.0 million balance of these delivery orders to the United States Marine Corps in the fourth quarter of 2008. In addition to strong military business, the Company continued to penetrate into a variety of targeted, niche work boot markets.

Sales to the outdoor market were $20.8 million for the third quarter of 2008, compared to $21.8 million for the same period of 2007. For the first three quarters of 2008, sales to the outdoor market were $38.1 million compared to $41.8 million for the same period of 2007. While the Company saw strong at-once demand in

certain segments and geographies of the outdoor market, the overall decline in outdoor sales reflected the sluggish retail environment.

The Company continued to maintain strong gross margins. For the third quarter of 2008, its gross margin was 39.2% of net sales, up from 39.1% in the same period of 2007.

LaCrosse’s total operating expenses were $11.2 million, or 28% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $9.5 million, or 26% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2007. The $1.8 million year-over-year increase in operating expenses reflects costs from the Company’s new European subsidiary, as well as increased sales and product development activities.

At the end of the third quarter of 2008, LaCrosse’s inventory increased $0.7 million or 2% from the end of the same period in 2007, reflecting additional inventory for the Company’s new European subsidiary and for recent military orders.

During third quarter of 2008, the Company paid $3.2 million in cash for inventories and operations of its former European distribution partner and a quarterly cash dividend of $0.8 million or $0.125 per share of common stock. During the first three quarters of 2008, LaCrosse has paid a total of $8.5 million in dividends. The Company ended the third quarter of 2008 with cash and cash equivalents of $4.3 million, compared to $4.7 million at the end of the third quarter of 2007.

“We are pleased with our performance and execution for the third quarter, despite continuing challenges in the retail environment,” said Joseph P. Schneider, president and CEO of LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. “The growth in our work business continued to be driven by shipments to various branches of the United States military and niche work markets, such as energy-related industries, mining and railroads. While overall retail demand remains slow, we continue to see strong at-once demand in certain segments of the outdoor market.

“We remain focused on executing our long-term strategic initiatives, including the establishment of our new European sales office in the third quarter, in preparation for expanding our international business over time. While continuing to introduce exciting new products and invest in our business, we have maintained strong operating efficiencies and a strong balance sheet, generated steady cash flow from operations and paid dividends. We believe LaCrosse is well-positioned to continue to capture market share.”
