Customer Reviews Bogs Urban Farmer

I purchased these to put on in inclement weather when taking our dog out for walks, etc. They fit well, seem well made and do exactly what they are supposed to do - keep my feet dry. My only minor complaint is that they are a little hard to put on because they are quite tight at the opening, but hopefully, as I use them more, this will loosen up and make it easier to slip them on and off. Once they are on they fit well and are comfortable to walk in.

OK, after 3 weeks and several rain storms in Dallas, I am ready to write this review. These boots are absolutely fabulous for rainy weather or in the garden, and I have received positive comments on their style. I wear a size 10, so I ordered size 10 AND size 11; kept the 10's. Warm and comfy, this boot is absolutely a winner.

After one year, many rain storms and much work in the garden, I'm ready to give these boots a huge 5 stars. The final convincing act happened this morning. I pulled up a large poblano bush by the roots and got leaf mulch and compost all over my legs and boots. NOTHING got inside. The boot is designed to hug your ankle, and it does that just fine. Another interesting feature is that the boot has a matte finish (not shinny), so you don't have to worry about the boot losing its shine, because it doesn't have one. They look the same today as they did one year ago. Mine are a gray-green color. Why is that no longer available? Yes, I will buy another pair when these wear out or start cracking (they are rubber don't cha know?).

Just the perfect shoe for wet and snowy conditions... especially in the mud. Can easily hose them off when done. Just the perfect work shoe.

I bought these for my husband to work outside since he's ruined several sneakers in the dirt/mud. He has a high instep so they are a little tough to get on but once on they fit nicely and don't slip. He's a happy camper!

You must own this shoe. I am a true 12, wide footed and have a couple of narsty arsy bunions. I fit squarely into a 12. I think people mistake the initial difficulty in getting these on and the nature of the material for a snug fit taken together. The material will mold out to your foot. Sit. Make sure your heel is in the heel cage. Now, press the tip of the toe box. See? Plenty of room. If no room, this is bad for air circulation, which is bad on cold days. As for cold, these are sleek, stylish, yet rugged and masterfully and durably soled shoes that are cozy! Not rain boots for all year. These are fall and winter gear. hey, that rhymed! I think a tall 100% rubbery boot with a nice liner is a must, but a lower cut one that feels snuggly is, too. After that, you should have a leathery waterproof boot and some "snow sneakers" as I call the shorty waterproof winter shoes and a snow boot that is somewhere between mid calf and ankle. You can find all of these and more at the brand I recommend and on this fine site. Incidentally, I have ordered about a dozen shoes in all in anticipation for Fall and Winter. I had a few issues. Customer Service helped a ton. Thanks, Zappos! Check out the Baffin Hunter. Order one whole size down!

Bogs rock! I can step in all the political bull crap in DC and these boots take it like a champ! Great for rain, snow, garden etc just slip on and off!

This shoe would have been great if it were easier to slip on. It took way too much effort to get it on and off. I'm looking for a shoe for easy on and off.

This shoe isn't suited for quickly putting on and removing. It required considerable effort to insert my foot into the Urban Farmer. Once I did the shoes felt pretty good, however. I sought a shoe I could get into and out of easily, so I could easily transfer between garden and house. I believe this shoe would be great for inclement weather, as the seal around the ankle is tight and nothing will easily enter it.

Shoe size is correct, but the mouth of the shoe is designed wrong--WAY too small--and you can barely get your foot in there! Bogs shoes look nice, but they do have a lot of issues with quality.

Sign of a truly good shoe is if they last. I bought these 8 months ago to walk my dog in the morning. This morning, I put them on and there on the top of one shoe, above my big toe joint, was a 2 inch long jagged rip. This has been the third or fourth pair of shoes (from different mfgs) that have fallen apart in less than one year. Is this the new normal for shoes? Look great, feel great, work great....but not for very long.

Had I known these were called "Urban Farmer"when I bought them at my local shop, I probably wouldn't have. I am an actual farmer and the sole de-laminated from the shoe after about 30 days. Really comfortable and convenient barn shoe, too bad the construction was not up to the task. An expensive experiment it was.

I ordered these boots Christmas night and got them on the 30th !! talk about being fast. Today is the 31st and it is still wet here in the Mid Atlantic area so I slipped these on. Wore them all day while mulching the flower beds and working the property. They kept my feet warm and dry the whole day. I bought them to wear in leu of my heavier work boot that have Vibram soles and always get a heavy mud buildup. these boots barely even attracted any mud at all. they are defiantly the right boot for everyday use around my property wet or dry. For those people who complained about they are hard to get on, it is obvious your not a country person. The neck of the shoe is small but that is by design to keep out unwanted debris inside the boot. To put them on turn the boot sideways so the toe points in, insert you foot without folding the material over then put your finger or a boot hook through the loop at the heel and as you pull back and up they pop right on. To take them off just grab the heal of the boot and push down and off or buy yourself a boot jack. Remember these are made of rubber and neoprene so they will not last for ever as the sun and other elements ages these materials so be ready to replace them in 3-4 years, sooner if you wear everyday all day.
