Review: Bogs Footwear
The mission statement for Bogs says it all:
“Our mission is to provide the most comfortable footwear for the most uncomfortable conditions in the world. We put feet first because we know the importance of a solid foundation. Comfort isn’t an option, it’s a requirement. Life is difficult to measure so we’ve prepared. Like our footwear, we don’t take shortcuts, we do not nap. We are tough. We don’t avoid obstacles, we overcome them. Because our lives demand it, we are versatile, we are dependable, we meet every challenge. We push forward. We dare you to work harder and play longer. For wherever you go and whatever you do, bogs are ready. WE ARE BOGS”
Enough said.
The Plimsoll tall is like original Bogs Classic on steroids. Consistent with the classic it is 100% waterproof. The durable hand-lasted rubber is non-marking and self-cleaning. However, this boot has struts a sneaker-like fit for a sportier, sleeker fit for a go-get-‘em kind of day.
It was so comfortable to throw on and wear for the entire day- from the farmer’s market to strutting around town, to walking our canine critic, to working in the yard.
During the end winter months, the sneaker-like fit offered a little more traction and stability than the classic while still keeping my feet dry and remarkably warm. I was a little apprehensive about my feet being too warm once the weather changed, but the Bogs Max-Wick lining really works and kept my feet dry and comfortable.
And you CAN wear them everyday thanks to the Aegis antimicrobial odor protection insole- 60 days of wear in cold, wet, warm weather and still no stink!
Overall a great waterproof, incredibly comfortable boot!
