Customer Reviews Bogs Neo Classic Wide Calf

I bought this boot for horse farm chores. They are about a half size too big, but they don't come in half sizes. They are a big, rather bulky boot, but the footbed is very comfortable, I had been worried that they would feel too stiff in the ankle and rub because they don't flex very much, but it's not a problem. there is enough taper in the heel area to keep the boot on your foot without feeling as though you have to grip with your toes to keep it on. If I bought them again I'd get an 8 rather than a nine. my true size is 8.5

I'm so glad that BOGS finally released a women's work boot with the same attention to quality and longevity as their men's work boots. I love BOGS for comfort and warmth, but in the past I have been disappointed by their performance. On my past 3 pairs, the sole has worn completely through after 5 months of walking. i will say that they kept me dry though! But this particular boot feels like it may last more than a single winter season! I am so excited by all of the improvements to product durability. I am a professional dog walker so I am out in all weather conditions, walking an average of 5 miles each day. These are wonderfully easy to take on and off, are a breeze to clean, and can handle snow and rain equally well without feelng like my feet are overheating. As other reviews have noted, this boot has a wider fit (but with thick socks I have no problems and feel comfortable); and there are some strange "nubs" inside the boots by your ankles, but I have not found these to cause any discomfort, rubbing, or blisters. I honestly don't even notice them much any more, and they seem to add a bit more ankle stability. These boots provide warmth, cushioning, and comfort even on the coldest, wettest days. i always get compliments and sing the praises of BOGS products. Can't wait to see how this pair performs this season!

These boots run larger than other Bogs I have purchased. A thicker footbed was added and thick socks make them work. I wear a 9 and a half so I went for the ten. They are VERY substantial and I think will last me many years like my last pair. I live and work on a ranch and my last pair lasted ten years with never a leak. They just got a bit worn on the bottom.

Love how lightweight these are however, the foot is bulkier than I had wanted. Not a huge deal at all, just a small critique.

I use these boots everyday out in the farm. They are super comfortable and well made. The only reason I gave them 4 out of 5 stars is because I would like them a little taller for more protection on my legs

The size 8 seems to be a little bigger and the upper shell a little flimsy compared to my other tall Bogs. Still gets the job done here in Wisconsin.

Well made but they have absolutely no give at the top when you're trying to slide your foot into the bed. High insteps?, don't even bother. So bummed I had to send them back.

Durable, well made. Unfortunately I had to return mine because I have a high instep and could not insert my foot into the foot bed due to the hard, rigid area on top where my instep rubbed. Terrible that there's no flexibility in that area. If you have perfect feet they're probably great boots.

I like these boots overall but they seem narrower and more constricted in the toe box than my older Bogs in the same size. The 4 H design is a bit garish, but I'm not dressing for fashion but to keep my feet dry.

I ordered a new pair, because my old pair finally gave out. The old ones lasted forever! I even hiked 100 miles with them w/out one blister or foot soreness. Unfortunately, the new ones are 1" shorter on my calf as well as tighter on my calf. I don't have large calves they only measure 13-1/2" So I can't imagine how tight they'd be if I had wide calves.

I was hoping to replace a pair of your Bog's women's snowboots that I have worn the tread off of the soles but I'm sad that the boots are a little snug and don't have the same fit/traction that my last pair did. That said, they are still an amazing all around product and I will replace my old pair the minute I find them again online. I'm in and out of horse stalls and goat pens and hiking up muddy trails to traverse back and forth, and BOGS are the only footwear that can accommodate getting wet and muddy and then hosed off afterwards. My old pair was an 8 (a little big) and this new pair is a size 7 (a little small) so I'm hoping you will make a 7.5 soon!

The boot is great if it wasn't so tight around the calf. This is the second pair like this. I thought it was a fluke with the first pair. Very disappointed

The calf is way too small. I prefer the neoclassic because they are better all around

Not for cold weather

Normally I love bogs but not the 4H pair. They are not warm enough for my feet in cold temperatures. They are okay for 20 and above. Nothing below that. Very disappointed. Plus one boot was 1/2 inch taller! If they were seconds they should have been labeled as seconds.

This is my favorite boot for farm chores. Any season. Problem is the neoprene split from the rubber so they're no longer waterproof above the tear.

The regular was too small in the calf, but the wide calf is HUGE! I can't win with these. I'm 5'7", wear a size 10, and couldn't get my calf into the regular size (never happened to me in any other boots), yet I'm swimming in these ones. The foot fits ok and is warm and super comfortable, but the calf rubs because its too big, especially when walking up steps or driving and pushing the gas/brake.

I was looking for warm winter waterproof boots for walking the dog and maybe working in garden in the spring. These are well made boots, but too bulky, and heavy for me.

Boot are very comfortable, but the top are tight and the stitching inside near the top gave me blisters on my legs. My other pair before these were great except they soul started to come apart in 6mo and filling out return form was horrible to resend, so my boots started talking after awhile, so the replacement boots.

Fit is far different from the original boots produced years ago. I tried three pairs before finding a comparable fit. The calf circumference varies from boot to boot. Also, the transition from rubber to fabric is higher, which creates a more snug fit. My main complaint is that the boots are not nearly as pretty as they once were. They looked better when the bottom half was a colorful print and the top half was solid.

They're ok, not as comfortable as my older ones, but the foot part comes higher up so hopefully it will not break like the older ones did. The calf is wider than the older model, which allows quite a bit of hay to get down them, not a fan of this. Got 40% off because the old ones broke, so I guess I'll wear these till they die too.

The sizing in these boots is extremely disappointing. 9's are impossibly small, 10's are practically falling off my feet and unsafe to drive in. This pair is going to sit in the coatroom. Also not loving the design but the choices for the warmest styles have become so limited that this was the best there was. Adored my first pair of Bogs but looks like it is time to find another brand.

I'm thankful these boots with a large calf opening are available. They fit just perfectly. Unfortunately, they did not keep my feet very warm at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. They are however very comfortable to walk in.

My usual size was far too big, so I returned for an exchange of one size down. It's been over three weeks of chasing down customer care to even begin processing the exchange request. I returned the original weeks ago with an additional exchange request included in the box. I submitted the exchange request form TWO times via email and they still claim not to have received it.

I was under the assumption that these were insulated boots. That is the reason for the return - I already have a pair and love to wear them. However, I need the warmer pair for the winter,.
