Best Bogs Boots
Standout Picks
Criteria Used for Evaluation
Comfort
The last thing you want while working outside or moving around in bad weather is to be wearing a boot that isn’t very comfortable. An ill-fitting shoe or boot will not only lead to painful blisters, but it can also affect your spinal alignment and throw your entire body off kilter quite easily. Plus, wearing uncomfortable boots is simply not something we enjoy.
By taking into consideration the comfort of the boot, you can determine how likely you are to actually use it. And that’s kind of the point of the best Bogs Boots, right?
You can also check the customer reviews as that will give you an inside look at how comfortable these boots were for other customers that decided to go ahead with the boots you have your eye on. Bogs are known for being comfortable but by looking at the customer reviews, you can confirm.
Durability
Even if you find a comfortable pair of boots, it won’t do you very much good if it wears out before the season is over. By their very nature, these boots are designed to withstand the harshest of weather conditions, including rain, sleet, snow, and mud while still keeping your feet warm and dry. It stands to reason that since the Bogs Boots company went to such great lengths to do that, they would also take the boots’ durability into consideration.
Thankfully, in the examples on this list, they did. Each of these boot styles has proven themselves to be able to withstand nearly everything that is thrown at them. While it should be noted that the rain boots aren’t exactly designed for cold weather use, they still do very well in most other conditions.
Style
It may seem a little bit funny to take a closer look at the design of the Bogs Boots when determining the best ones, but there is a very solid reason why. These boots have a purpose to them, beyond being just footwear. They have to not only protect your feet from the inclement weather, but they also need to help you keep your balance, footing, and move around in potentially dangerous conditions. Plus, if you look good while doing it, that’s even better.
While there were a few design choices that we probably wouldn’t have made, such as the pull on handles that don’t help to put the boots on or taking them off, for the most part, these boots are practical, safe, and an effective means of protection.
Value
It’s one thing to have quality boots to wear. It’s something else entirely to have quality boots to wear that you can afford. That’s why looking at the manufacturer suggested retail price is so important.
Thankfully, the people at Bogs Boots have decided to offer a number of different styles at a wide range of prices. So finding the right pair of boots within your budget is more than possible. And finally, it’s important to take into consideration whether or not the boots actually perform as well as they claim. Do they protect the wearer from the rain, snow, mud, and other hazards that they may encounter?
For the most part, the answer is yes. While the rain boots don’t necessarily offer much protection against the cold, they really aren’t meant to.
Top Ten Bog Boots
1. SOLID RAIN
If you’re looking for a great all-purpose rain boot that can keep your feet dry both from the weather and your own perspiration, this simple boot is a great choice.
Read moreComfort
Consisting of a simple neoprene upper portion and a rubberized sole, these boots are surprisingly comfortable whether your mucking around at the stables or taking the kids down to the park to have some fun jumping around in the puddles. It’s one of the lightest boots that Bogs offers, and the molded EVA footbed means that your feet will be comfortable and stable in many different environments.
Durability
Overall these boots are very durable and can withstand quite a bit of abuse from normal use. Short of taking a pair of shears to the neoprene upper, or trying to puncture the rubber soles, you’ll be hard pressed to damage these boots in any way. If you care for them properly, these boots should last you for years to come. When it comes to protection from the rain, these boots simply can’t be beaten. Jump in any puddle you like, or spend a few afternoons dancing in the rain. Your feet will remain dry, no question about that. However, these boots don’t offer much protection from the cold. So these boots are a great choice for warmer climes, but once winter starts rolling in, you may want to look at other choices.
Overall Design
Generally speaking, the Bogs Men’s Solid rain boot is very classic in its design. There are no laces or fasteners to get in the way. You just slip them on and off. While we aren’t very fond of the handle cut-outs that are designed for pulling them on easier, everything else seems to be solidly thought out, and solidly made.
Price
These boots are moderately expensive. However, considering how long they usually last-- more than a few seasons, they are well worth the price.
2. BOZEMAN TALL
If trudging through the snow of winter and dealing with the storms is on your agenda in the near future, the Bogs Men’s Bozeman Tall Winter Snow Boot is something that you need to put on your list.
Read moreComfort
Despite their relatively clunky look and simple overall design, these boots are remarkably comfortable. The rubber in the boot is designed to stretch four different ways to make sure that you discover the most comfortable amount of stretch for your feet, and the moisture wick lining keeps your feet dry and relatively free from perspiration. Not surprisingly, these boots are comfort rated to a respectable -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Durability
Made out of a combination of rubber and neoprene, and fairly simple design, these boots will easily hold up in the most frigid of temperatures and the harshest of environments. Not only that, they are easy to care for, and will most likely last through quite a few winters. These boots can easily help you survive and thrive in the harshest of winter environments. The rubber soles help you to keep your footing, and the neoprene upper portions not only help to repel moisture away but also insulate your feet and legs against increased cold.
Overall Design
The overall design of these Bogs boots shines forth in their simplicity. The rubber sole provides superior traction in snow and even on slick surfaces such as wet tile. The rubber and neoprene shell and liner provide a comfortable overall fit with the ability to repel moisture and cold rather effectively. Finally, the Dura-Fresh lining helps to block unpleasant odors. One thing that we didn’t like was the loopholes on the side of the boots that were designed to allow the wearer to pull them off or put them on easier. They effectively lowered the effective height of the boot and offered no real increased ease when it came to putting the boot on or taking it off.
Price
Once again, the price for these Bogs Boots is a little on the more expensive side, but considering how well they work in colder temperatures, they are a good investment.
3. CLASSIC HIGH
This is an original design from Bog, but it is still one of the best boots they have produced and is a classic for good reason. This boot has great ankle and leg protection and is easy to put on and take off, while at the same time offering great protection from nasty weather.
Read moreComfort
These boots offer the most comfort available and fit your foot great. The material of the upper part of the boot is a comfortable material against your skin and will keep you comfortable on long treks.
Durability
Like all Bog boots, these boots are manufactured to last and hold up to rough weather, so not only will you be protected but your boots will be protected as well. These boots are also waterproof to ensure that if they get wet no damage will come to them or yourself.
Overall Design
These Bog boots are their classic design but the basicness of these boots is all you need. They do a great job at protecting your feet from wet conditions and still look stylish.
Price
these boots are a little pricer but not no bad. They are a reasonable and fair price for the quality of boot you are getting from Bog.
4. KIDS' CLASSIC
If you’re looking for a pair of boots for your older kids that not only protect them from the elements but will also last for years to come, these boots may just be what you’re looking for.
Read moreComfort
These boots offer a fair amount of comfort and protection to older kids and it does so quite well from the damp cold of the winter. However, the Max-wick material used to line the interior portions is not always that effective with prolonged and repeated use. This can lead to damp feet, which can certainly be uncomfortable.
Durability
These boots were definitely designed with older children in mind. The rubber and neoprene combination can and often do hold up under some very extreme conditions that really can only be devised by kids looking to have an adventure. Unless your child feels the need to go swimming with his boots on during the winter months, chances are these boots will keep him relatively dry and warm.
Overall Design
Just like the adult versions, these boots are designed to be easy on and easy off. While we’re not fond of the cut-out handles at the top for reasons mentioned earlier, there is a little fault we can find in the design otherwise.
Price
Considering the durability and overall design of these boots they are very reasonable in their price.
5. BEND
This mid-level hiking boot is a great choice if comfort and stability are what you demand while transversing through the woods, or even hiking around your neighborhood.

Durability
While the Bogs Woman’s Bend Hiking Boot is of good quality and will withstand a great deal of use in the outdoor environment, there have been reports of the shoes lasting less than a few seasons. So if you do choose these boots, make sure to take care of them adequately. The combination of the nubuck leather, rubber soles, and waterproof breathable mesh lining combine easily to provide great protection from the elements. While we would have liked to see a little bit thicker material on the outside, for the most part, these boots will serve you well.
Overall Design
The overall design of these boots is fairly straightforward, but there are a few features that we found to be welcomed additions. The rubber sole features BioGrip anti-slip technology, so you won’t lose your traction under most circumstances. In addition, the dual-density EVA molded footbed is designed to create a very stable and comfortable environment for the foot. And finally, the boot itself weighs just over 1.5 pounds, making it one of the lightest hiking boots on the market today.
Price
These boots are moderately priced, and most people who enjoy the occasionally enjoy a nice family outing to the movies would be able to afford these boots without any real issue.

7. B-MOC QUILT PUFF
These boots may look like they belong on a fashion runway, but the truth is they are very durable, surprisingly comfortable, and can easily keep your feet warm and dry as you move through the winter landscape.
Read moreComfort
One of the best things about the Bogs Women’s B-Moc Quilt Puff Snow Boot is the quilted lining and the waterproof textile outer portions which combine to keep your feet warm, dry and extremely comfortable. Add to that the Max-Wick technology and the molded footbed and chances are you’ll forget that you’re even wearing them. Our only complaint is that they can be a bit bulky, which can lead to unsteady feet in a more wilderness environment.
Durability
These boots are very well put together, and with proper care can easily last beyond three or four seasons. You’re more likely to want to change your fashion tastes before you’ll have to replace these boots. Overall these boots are a great choice to protect the wearer from the cold and snow in the city winter, although we probably would look into other options if we were looking for protection while hiking through rough terrain, we probably would consider other options.

Overall Design
Like the song by Nancy Sinatra says, these boots are made for walking. And in that regard, the overall design shines quite well. The rubber sole and outsole provides great no-skid traction, the high-quality fabric, and rubber calf material provide great protection from the elements, and modern styling fits in just about anywhere you’d want to go.
Our main complaint, really is that these boots aren’t designed for sitting as well. Often, depending on the person in the boots, sitting down for any length of time means that the top of the boots rubs against the back of the knees
Price
These boots are certainly on the more expensive side of the spectrum, but they are also very well made and with good care, they should last more than a few seasons.
