User Reviews
These boots are amazing! I ordered an 8 but sent those back and got a 9 and they fit perfectly! I wear a 10.5 in womens so I was a bit iffy on what size to order but it worked out great. They are so comfortable and warm, easy to put on and take off.
White Mountains, AZ. I wore these for almost two years before they started leaking. They are not super warm, but if you're active, they work. Not really great for standing in snow or cold water creeks for extended periods of time.I know it's Arizona, but it gets cold up here. I live at 7200' and I work at 8500'. This last summer, we had over two months of straight rain. Snow started in October. These are great in the rain and mud. The outsoles on these are good too! Enough traction - for sure.After about the first 2-3 months, there was a little separation between the upper and the sole on the right boot. I could tell the next morning when I slipped them on - when I put pressure on the right foot, water would squish out. However, both of my feet remained dry and warm enough, so I kept wearing them.I have worn them hunting and fishing in 15F degree weather. Like I stated - as long as you're active, your feet stay warm with a pair of heavy, wool socks.The biggest problem - but I deducted no stars, because I should have thought about it - are the openings on the sides at around the 12-13" mark. Now, I will say that these handles make them super convenient to carry and are great to pull your boots on...BUT snow and especially water come right in those openings. This severely limits the depth at which one can "wade". I can't fault the boots for this, though. The pictures make it clear, and BOGS never claims that these are for deep snow and water. They are insulated rain boots, and they work fantastically in that regard.I ordered a size 12 - this is the size I wear in every shoe I own. They fit perfectly. The handles on the sides weren't even necessary for me - they slip on easily and the kick on the back of each boot makes removal easy as well.I just noticed that my feet have started getting wet (and cold) the last couple of weeks. I did order a pair of higher, more insulated boots from another manufacturer, but I will keep these boots to quickly slip on for quick runs to the wood pile when it's snowy or muddy. I just needed more insulation and height for the things I want to do. Hunting/fishing/ice fishing.OVERALL: Great, affordable boot for their intended use.
Very comfortable boots. Can wear all day and feet stay warm and dry. Nice for wide calves or wearing layers.
Good fit, maybe 1/4 size small, but keeping them. Was worried about traction switching from Sorel Caribou that put a lot of sole in contact with the ground. Took a 1 mile walk with the dog last night in snow over ice conditions. No slipping. On the same walk I slip in Cabelas Snow Runners but not in my Sorels. These boots are easy on and off using handles to pull on over jeans and heel nub to kick off. I will couple these with my uninsulated Xtratuf pull on boots and retire the Sorels and Cabelas. Happy customer. I’ll add that my kid has been wearing bogs forever and they are the bomb for children.
These boots are comfortable,warm,waterproof and very durable.I would have given them 5 stars but the pull holes at the top are a joke.The second day wearing them on a southern Illinois farm and cattle ranch I stepped out of a tractor into the mud and the holes filled my boots with mud and water.i will go back to the regular high Bogs from now on
These are great rain and winter boots for men, my husband uses these everyday for chores. They keep his feet warm and dry and have great traction for walking in snow and on ice. We would definitely recommend.
Very comfortable, size was accurate. Pull on and off easily and are very durable.Would recommend
Durable boot for muddy situations.
