Bogs Men's Classic Seamless Mid Black Waterproof Boot

These seamless, rugged boots are truely waterproof. The treds prevent any slipping. They required a light break in period as the stiff tops struck my shins. After a few days of an extra sock stuck in front and now they are fine. Destined for duribility, Im sure.

I have been looking for a quality pair of waterproof boots for winter and mud season in VT. I initially thought these perfectly fit the bill. I have been surprised and frustrated that my feet have been getting damp with each use. I thought that they must be leaking, somehow. I eventually placed the boots in a sink of water, ankle high, and they didn’t leak. So it looks like the lining that’s used inside the boots causes my feet to sweat. I’m gonna try different types of socks to see if that helps.

Very comfortable. Better than moccasin boots or moccassin-style boots. Because it is seamless - it is lighter, more flexible and completely wraps around your feet, yet provides enough room in the toe box (so your piggles can wiggles). My feet feel great after wearing all day. Clean up is easy, I can muck around in the barn doing morning chores, then hose them off and walk inside to do home projects, like floor renovation. No stress on the ball of my feet when working on my hands and knees. I've done short hikes in these out in the national park, so comfortable. Only downside is your feet will get sweaty. Then again my feet also get sweaty in my Salomon Quest hiking boots or my Keen Cinncinati boots. If I could only choose one between the three it would be these since they keep my feet warm in the winter, waterproof and grippy in the rain, mud, or snow, easy to clean, lightweight, comfortable, and easy to take on and off - no laces. I appreciate the time-savings in urgent situations such as when coyotes or bobcats are attacking the chickens.

You don't need my bio but for review purposes I'm outside in cold and wet extremes for both short and long periods. For sizing, in my other shoes and boots, I always purchase an 11.5, sometimes in a wide, sometimes not. The Classic Mid is definitely TTS and enough width for Me. As far as the elements, the second i put my foot into them, I knew they were different than any previous rubbers I've worn. Straight out into 10-degree weather, and you can tell the "insulation" of the mid starts at the base and separates you from the element of the ground first, while the upper cuts the wind easily, and the waterproofing, barring any defect, is absolute. This is the boot; find the height you want and buy it. Size is TTS, I'll be wearing this pair a decade.
