As befits a company that hails from the wet and often cold northwest USA---Bogs has been keeping agricultural and industrial workers warm, wet and dry with their 100% durable rubber boots. We actually have a slip resistant pair of their #1 best selling kicker - the Classic High ($88)-for years ---which pull on (easy btw-with four way stretch inner bootie/contoured EVA sockliner) ---and keep us protected against freezing winter temps at our place in a mountainous rural locale.

| Black high, black mid-comfort rated -40F |

| Self cleaning non-slip, non-marking outsole-classic rubber Wellington boot style |
Lately, Bogs has turned a flirty fashion corner---with several casual and city slick options like a fav-the Rider- for gals ...that protect feet from the elements but wear as comfortable as any walking shoe. Added plus-air channels that wick away clammy moisture---so feet are warm but not sweaty.
Some Highlights:
Nice- the same techy features, featured on styles with added fun prints/textures-including emboss rubber---like these Classic High $96-
 |
| Easy pull-on tabs |
AND- Made with the proprietary 7mm waterproof Neo-Tech™ insulation.
These green and black lace-ups-the Charlot $80- are very stylish takes on the classic duck shoe that seems to be back in vogue---and are, we think - great everyday shoes, especially for weekends mucking around the garden.
Made from 2mm waterproof Neo-Tech + 2mm Airmesh for warmth without bulk, durable hand-lasted rubber, four way stretch inner bootie, contoured EVA insole and Aegis antimicrobial protection.
