These boots are AWESOME!!!!!!!!! As you may have read before that I had a bit of a hard time finding a pair of winter boots that were not only warm but that work for my life, and just when I thought I'd figured out what pair I was going to buy I received a comment on here about a boot I'd never heard of before. Naturally I had to check it out because I'm a discriminating buyer. I poked around on a few sites that mentioned them and read reviews, I do that. I read a couple of each, the good, the bad, and the ugly just so I know. So when the weather was good and I had a day where I could take a road trip I headed out. I went to a place where I believed they had both of what I narrowed my choices to. Suffice it to say that because the sales clerk was rude and annoyed that I was not interested in camo boots and made a snide remark to my son about 'girls being different' I didn't buy the boots from him. Not the mention I was not able to compare the two pairs of boots as this particular store didn't have the tall boots I was looking for and the shorter style was not my size. To them women's feet only come in two sizes, 6 or 8 and the eights were gone. Bummed I walked out of the store and took my son out to lunch. I just happened to glance out the window while we were eating and saw another store that carried one of the two boots so after lunch we popped over to that store and went directly to the shoe department, found the boots and within .07 seconds of trying them on I decided they were coming home with me. The sales lady was super sweet and helpful and didn't make snide remarks to me or my son. The fact that they were on clearance (only like the best word ever! I was tempted to name one of my children that at one point!) was just icing on the cake!I decided on these because they are so comfortable that I've actually worn them all day inside the house! They are tall enough to walk through the deep snow in and snug enough fitting at the calf to not allow the snow to enter the boot. The fact they mold to my feet and are so lightweight is heavenly! I love the fact they can be hosed off when needed and there is no ridiculous fuzz anywhere in sight! I've been wearing them a while and in a variety of temps and my feet have been over the top warm and toasty! I love my Bogs!
I've wondered about Bogs. Do they wide or narrow? Many of my friends have and love Muck boots but they are way too roomy.
ReplyDeleteThe Bog boot I tried on at the store was a size 8, and normally I take anywhere from an 8 to 9 depending on the style of the shoe. And typically I have a narrow foor and prefer a snug-ish fit. I tried on the size 8 and had a difficult time getting it off, it was WAY too tight and would not have fit with a heavy sock if needed, (so far I have not needed any extra socks) I would have liked to try on a 9 but they were all gone, so I tried on the 10. It was perfect! It's not too big so that I'm sliding around in them and have room for that extra pair of socks if needed. They are spacious but I don't find them too wide, unlike the Muck which was the other boot I was going to get until I tried on the Bogs.
ReplyDeleteNice boots! I like the pattern on them! Perty!!
ReplyDeleteI was actually JUST thinking about my Bogs this morning, thinking about that quote someone said on here, about it's not how much something costs but how many times you are grateful for it that makes it worth it or SOMETHING like that. And then I come here and find out you bought Bogs! THEY ARE AWESOME. I am SO grateful for them. For the warmth, the ease of putting on, the height that means I can trudge through tall snow to get to the chicken coop and not get all wet, for their comfort, for their waterproofness. I LOVE my Bogs, and I'm so glad you do, too.
ReplyDeleteI've seen them on your feet, no boot could be cuter or have more function! Wicked nice! I love my bogs too..not the fancy print that I love like yours, but the boot itself, comfy!
ReplyDeleteThey are SUPER comfy! Thanks for letting me try them. ;-) I have really wide feet and these fit PERFECTLY. ;-)
