Customer Reviews Bogs Classic Tall Wide Calf

Have not used them yet, it's sunny, 80 degrees. Waiting for winter, will update stars then.

Unfortunately mine cracked at that bendy part on the top of the foot after only three season and Bogs will not do any thing about it. Waste of $100 or more

The Classic High boot was a huge disappointment after owning the Whiteout Tonal Camo. I am an 8.5 shoe and ordered a 9 in both styles. The Whiteout was perfect & roomy for an extra pair of socks. The Classic High footbed was not. The seam up the back inside the boot was rough and hurt my heels. Overall, a disaster. I am a horsewoman and really put boots to the test. I would not recommend. The Whiteout line is a better investment hands down.

I owned a previous version of Bogs boots that worked really well for me... they fit well and lasted me for several years. When the old boots finally became to worn to wear, I order a new pair - the Classic Ultra Mid boot. I'm not sure what changed, but I am really disappointed in the new boots. They do not fit well. I am between sizes, and the larger size was sloppily too big and the smaller size is too snug; at least the smaller size stay on my feet. I think part of the fit issue is the way the heel fits inside the boot. The heel seems to roomy and so does not seem to keep my foot in the boot. Even the smaller size is sloppy in the heel while being too snug in the toe box. I imagine it's difficult to create a slip on boot that allows room for sliding a foot in and out easily and creating a comfortable fit, but the previous pair of Bogs that I owned seem to find that balance. These Classic Ultra Mid boots are just too sloppy for me. Also, after wearing the new boots for a few times over a couple of months, they developed a leak along a seam in the toe box. The timing of when I discovered the leak was within the allowed exchange period, so Bogs allowed me to return the leaking boots for a new pair of the same style, which I appreciate. However, afterward I began questioning the quality of the construction. I have yet to see how long the new pair will hold up. With the ill-fitting style and the leak, I'm disappointed in these boots. I hope Bogs will redesign this type of boot for a better fit and with higher quality construction.

They are rated for -40 today was the first day since I got them that the temp got below 0. I was outside for about 5 minutes and my feet were already cold. They do keep my feet dry through the snow and slush. unfortunately the bottom tread has started to peel off already.

High recommendations for BOGS. These boots were too narrow for me. Needed wide calf.

Love the colors but the boot itself rubs my heel too much. Can only wear for short distances. Also, wish I would have known that the calf part is so tight. Would have loved to be able to tuck my pants down into them to keep from getting snow on them.

Loved them when I first got them. After 2-3 wears that padding wore out and now they are way to big but I can't even exchange them due to their policy.

I specifically chose these boots as I wanted a pair of bogs where the rubber went higher up. I had bought the navy green white out boots two years ago and they had started to sag down around the ankle area just above where the rubber stops. Unfortunately these new boots are a bit of a let down. The rubber is significantly harder and stiffer than my previous pair (this is blatantly obvious when you touch and compare the two) and as such after about 15-20 mins my ankles start to hurt from the pressure cause by the stiffness as well as some discomfort on the top of the foot. I even compared these new boots to a pair a family member has where the rubber goes higher up (The Mesa Winter marble boots) and the rubber is not nearly as stiff as my new ones. It's too late to return or exchange them so I plan on keeping them as a back up pair, but may just buy the white out boots again. They did last a long time and were far more comfortable. Keep this in mind when shopping. Really the only positive I found is the wide calf design is nice and gives a bit more room for bulky pants or socks.

comfortable, fit well, easy to get on and off. service was very good

Not at all happy with these. I've had a pair of Classic Cosmos for around 10 years now, and they really are the perfect boot for gardening, fishing, everything. But these? The second I put them on, I was disappointed. Gone is the nice, snug fit all the way up and the sleeker look. These are like....Herman Munster boots. They're big and clumsy, and the boot shaft is so large, there's a huge gap between the back of the boot and my calf. I can't imagine clodhopping around in these at all. I've been out in absolute downpours with my old pair, and the only part of me that's dry is a perfect outline of the boots. But this new pair has such a gap that water would run right down inside of them. The few steps I took with one of these on, it flopped against the back of my leg. I'm going to see if maybe my daughter will want them. If not, I'll be returning them.

While my old Bogs - classic Cosmos high with handles - are still my everyday go-to boots for everything after the better part of 10 years, I wanted to get another pair because of the fit, quality, and performance of my other pair. What happened? These are like Herman Munster boots & gone is the nice, snug fit all the way up. I have an almost 2" gap between the back of this new pair & my calf, & I have pretty muscular calves. I was very disappointed with these, and am hoping I can figure out if they still make one with the identical fit of my old pair. As a florist who grows hundreds of her own flowers every year, I can't imagine clodhopping around in these & having the back of the boot flop against the back of my leg all day. My old pair, I've been out in a downpour and the only part of me that stays dry is a perfect outline of the boots. But this new pair leaves such a gap that water would pool inside of them. I'll see if my daughter wants them; if not, I'll be returning them.

Cute but clunky unsure if comfortable as I returned them

I bought a pair of the classic ultra high boots a few years ago and they were perfect - better traction and foot support than normal Bogs, fit great, and held up for multiple years of farm work. When they finally died this spring, I bought these, but discovered the design has changed: now the rubber comes up significantly higher on the boot. While I understand the reasoning behind this (my previous boots wore out at the ankles where the rubber meets the neoprene), the new design were simply not comfortable for me at all - they rubbed on my ankles just walking around the house. I sadly had to return them.

I really wanted to like these boots but the back portion (where the two different fabrics meet) keep digging into my calves and bruised them.

Very disappointed! I have had for less than three months and I already have a stress crack on top. Spent the money for "good" boots that I thought would last. Obviously not the case.

I ordered my bogs and got the wide calf.. They appeared to be regular calf, so they were to small for me. I gave them to my daughter and she loves them.. I was disappointed but she was thrilled! Great boots for calving season!

I have strong athletic legs with big calfs so naturally I would want to order a wide calf boot. The size is very true to side and the calf width is perfect EXCEPT that this width extends down to just above the ankle so I have a boot that fits perfectly on the foot and at the calf with this AWKWARD large space between my calf and ankle. The only people this boot will fit perfect for are those whose leg is 17" wide from the ankle to the calf. I'm going to sacrifice the wide calf boot (meaning they will always have to be worn under the pant) in order to have a boot that is comfortable walking around in and serving a functional purpose.

I found this boot to fall short of my expectations. Considering I'm a US W 8.5, the 9 felt oddly short in the footbed. The shaft of the boot didn't flatter or comfort the curve of my calf. I like the look of the boot itself - it's sporty and solid - just not for me. Fortunately, I had ordered the Whiteout Fleck for comparison. The Whiteout Fleck was a total win. It's more of a 'looker' for town errands and social activities, but appropriate for winter sporting and mucking about, too.

Nice support in the sole. Wide calf does not seem very wide. I have a painful dent in the top of my right calf after wearing the woman's wide calf model.

Really wanted to keep these! But the calf was too narrow. I don't have large calves but they are athletic. Just needed to be about an inch wider.

I consistantly wear a size 9 in all brands. I ordered a 10 in these boots and they are too tight overall with no chance of stretching. Very disappointing.

I got a pair of Bogs about four years ago to wear while working at a barn and as a snow/rain boot. However, almost immediately I noticed that the inside of my boot always ended up damp even without submerging the full foot of the boot in any water, and without any evident cracking or damage. In addition, my feet end up freezing within a few minutes of being outdoors in any weather. Every winter I pull them back out in hopes that there will be a turning point, as everyone seems to rave about how warm Bogs are. My mom recently bought a pair and let me try those out for a few weeks as well, but both of us experience the same freezing feet and damp interior. Unfortunately will be continuing to buy other boots.

I wore these in the snow at 30F. My feet were so cold I couldn't feel them other than pain when I walked on them. I had to end sledding with my children early because my feet were so cold. I was really disappointed. They're comfortable and give you the flexibility to move around easily- just not for cold weather.

Boots started coming apart first time I wore them. I have worn them probably 20 times for less than an hour each time. they are separating where the soles meat the uppers.
