Customer Reviews Bogs Classic High

A nightmare for wide feet. I wear a size 15 in Nike Air Max (2010-2014) because I have wide feet. Other shoes a 14 wide will do me just fine. I wear a size 14 2E in New Balance 1540. Air Jordan Retros a size 15 always. I'm a big guy, 5'11", 345 lbs. I ride a Townie bike (to lose weight) and need a boot for wet weather. All things considered, this fits the bill except it doesn't fit. With a thin ankle sock, I put one boot on. The bridge of my foot was way too snug. Standing up, I could tell that the width was super narrow. It took me 17-20 minutes, and 4-6 different leverage positions to finally get that thing off. My foot was dry so that wasn't the issue. I have never felt so claustrophobic in my life (other than in an MRI machine). I don't think a size 18 would've been wide enough either. Felt it was unfair to give less than 3 stars because I don't know much else about the boot. Materials were nice. Neoprene felt like a quality wetsuit. But if that boot was wet on the outside, there's no way I would've gotten it off without calling 911.

All our family members have had Bogs for many years, and we all dearly love them. So when it was time for a new pair for my husband, I happily ordered a replacement. But this new pair is nothing like the old pair - the new boots are much stiffer, heavier, and don't fit nearly as well. We will be promptly returning them. Why, oh why, did Bogs mess with what used to be a great product?

Clunky and heavy. These boots do not compare favorably to other Bogs we have worn and we all wear them, men, women, children.

These boots look well made - extremely nice. I wear a 17 2E - 4E on most shoes. Ordered a size 17 and a size 18. I could get neither size boot over my ankle to even get them on my foot. My wife, watching me struggle, said "don't those boots have a side zipper? You'll never get them on without it." She was right. I was so disappointed. Looked like they would have been extremely nice, had I been able to get them over my ankles. VERY LITTLE FLEX at all, which might be nice ... if you can get them on your feet. Sadly had to send both pairs back.

Not waterproof! Socks get wet.

The look nice, for what they are, but they rub the back of my heel with every step. I bought these a size larger hoping that the width would be acceptable but it is still way to narrow for me. As far as standing goes I think that if they fit properly they'd be quite comfortable. I bought the to wear for the few days I'm working at the Stock Show & Rodeo... Wish I could return them.

I wear these boots for ranch work. They are great for keeping feet dry, however they are not very supportive or comfortable. I wore them to work cattle one day (involves lots of running back and forth through alleyway to squeeze chute etc) and at the end of the day, my knees, ankles and feet were in pain and swollen. These boots are like irrigating boots: fine to wear part of the day but tough to wear for an extended period (esp if you have arthritis or joint problems). Would not recommend them for everyday use except for a couple hours at most/day.

Durability is the issue here. These boots are beautiful, warm in the winter, even better in the summer (even when you think an insulated boot would cook your feet). I own a farm where we work outside a lot. Even though I gave these boots two stars, I love them dearly. My issue with them is simply durability. Scarpe up against a limb while walking, and touch a piece of wire, and you'll rip holes in them very very easily, especially in the soft, neoprene section on the shaft of the boot. Even the area where the foot rests has been punctured by limbs. Mine are less than a year old and full of holes that I have tried to patch, but patching neoprene isn't as easy as I would like it to be. Overall, I love these boots, but I'll have to find another substitute, as they simply don't hold up to the rigors of really being outdoors. Beautiful, comfortable, warm, dry, stable, are all words I would use to describe these boots. Unfortunately, durable is not one of them.
