Customer Reviews Bogs Sauvie Slip-On Boot

I was in the market for a pair of simple slip on boots for the winter months. I live in the north east USA in a rural community. I am in and out of the house very frequently throughout the day. I needed a pair of boots to just slip on and go outside for choirs, dog walks, yard work. First off, the boots were very difficult to put on. It is not a size issue, it is related to how the boots are designed. Now, a good fit around the ankle is a good for walking through deep snow. But, it is very difficult to put the boots on. The pull tab or thumb tab at the back of the boots (ankle area) are very poorly designed. I can not fit a finger through the loop to pull up the boots. One needs elf like small hands to pull the tabs. Second issue, the second time I tried to put the boots on, the pull tabs broke off on both boots. Not only that I do not have any easy way to put the boots on, the area were the tabs were attached to the boots got busted pretty bad. Ot separated the fabric part from the rubber part creating an irritating spot right behind the ankles. Now if I wear the boots for just a few minutes, I get discomfort behind my ankle. If I wear it long enough, I have no doubt this will lead to blisters. When the boots are on and I can walk around, this is a delightful pair of footwear for the purpose. It has very good outsole. Traction on wet surfaces, including snow and ice, is excellent. Excellent fit and a pair of high quality insole makes them very comfortable. I have only worn them for a few days, but they have been water tight and nice to walk around in. They also look decent and not bulky at all. Currently I am using a shoe horn to put the boots on. It is snowing off and on and the ground is very slushy. I can not afford to buy another pair of boots. So, I am stuck with this. I hope the boots hold up and does not start to leak as my previous Bogs did. I wanted to save some money by getting the boots on closeout. But, if it does not work properly, it is not much of a saving at all. Buy at your own risk.

I wear a 10 1/2 so I thought the 11 would be great. Not true. I could barely get it on after several tries and then I had to immediately take it off as it was smashing my foot. No idea if it's a good boot, only that this is the only 11 that I've had that is too small

Customer service was very good but the back pull tab pulled out after the third time of pulling them on. I have ordered another pair and awaiting the arrival- hopefully it won't happen again.

Absolutely rubbing my shin raw

Was expecting to get the same kind of comfortable fit that I got with your camo boots that I got for hunting. These are not that. They are extremely hard to get on and once on they are just average for comfort. I am sure they will loosen up after some use, but so far have not done that. I surely will not be ordering another pair in the future. To be fair, some of the discomfort is probably from the socks bunching up and distorting while trying to get these beasts on. Never the less the rating is a two.

impossible to get on. will not be worn much but will function well in the winter.

Very comfortable to wear, were my favourite boots until cracks started to form on the top where the boot creases from walking. Also started leaking where the boot meets the sole. Can only wear them in dry conditions now so not great.

New version runs small. Not comfortable would return but ripped putting them on

The foot part of these fit quite well, but I had difficulties simply putting them on and taking them off. The ankle portion of the boot was extremely narrow and even using a long shoehorn it was a problem putting them on and taking them off.

I had to return these boots because of difficulties in putting them on and taking them off. The foot part of the boot was comfortable. However, the ankle part was much too narrow. Even using a long shoehorn I had problems putting them on and taking them off. Other Bogs footwear I have are fine.

I loved my urban gardener clogs (that are no longer made) and had to replace them. Opted to go over the ankle. These would be a five star if the pull-on straps worked. They are way too small and ineffective. After a month one of them is about to come off completely. I am going to reach out to customer service and I hope I can replace with something else.

The loop could be bigger to get Mens fingers through them.

Not like they used to be. This boot is manufactured in the Dominican Republic (prior model was made in China). Sole/instep is less supportive. Pull-on loop on one boot blew out the first time I put them on. Not nearly as comfortable as my last pair which I raved about.

Hard to get on. The loop in the back isn't big enough to get a finger through easily, and it doesn't seem sturdy. The insoles are also very thick and very soft. Walking long distances gets uncomfortable.

Pull loops were way too small. Fingers did not fit in.
