Customer Reviews Bogs Classic Tall Wide Calf

I ordered a pair and wore them on two short walks and good chunk of the tread wore off. I returned them and received another pair (had to pay for shipping) and have only wore these one the snow so far. The tread does not grip on snow or ice. I wore them outside in 20 degree weather while being active and my feet were freezing in minutes. They also gave me blisters.

I have to say I'm thoroughly disappointed. I can't imagine how the other boots feel because these are heavy (to be lightweight). I bought these for a recent trip and these are not comfortable travel shoes. I wore them to travel so I wouldn't have to keep them in my luggage, but I am disappointed in how heavy they were wearing them all day. They were fine for the first hour or so but while trekking through the airport I was mad at myself for buying them and even more upset I can't return them (as they've been worn). They also came in larger than I expected. If you're a half size, order down. The description says order up, so that's what I did (which I regret). I'm an 8 and I always size up to am 8.5 or 9 with boots. I ordered the 9. Even with my thickest socks on, there was plenty of space in the toe box and I could've gone down. I have a wide foot and it feels pretty wide, even for me. I'm away now, but I honestly don't even want to wear these shoes on the trip back home and I'm not enthused about wearing them during the trip, now.

These boots appear to be very high quality however the fit is not good. The top is tight around the calf and the rubber shape is molded forward so it is uncomfortable. I am 5'9" and 130 lbs and I typically wear a women's size 0 or 2. I have normal proportioned legs and calves. I have never had to wear wide calf boots before, so I ordered the regular calf size Bogs boots. I was very surprised to find that while my normal size 9 fit perfectly for my feet, the calf was too tight and it hit at an uncomfortable spot on my calf. It was very annoying to walk and feel this with every step. Even standing it dug in because there was no wiggle room around the calf and the boot is also molded forward. I was also disappointed to see that this boot is not offered in wide calf. Very disappointing that Bogs is not more inclusive of all body types. They also don't seem to do testing with a range of body types because the proportions are just wrong.

Bad customer service. Boots were worn a few times a week for four months during the summer in Alaska. They still look brand new. Then they were stored inside. This summer when I put them on they leaked. The seam is not the issue it's leaking from the top of the boot above my foot. The warranty expired one month before I contacted Bogs and they would not refund me. This is the second pair of boots I've purchased that have leaked. I will not buy anything from this company again.

Your boots used to be great. Now the circumference of the ankel and top opening would necessitate me doubling my body weight! So wide the ankles make me trip and the top so open that when irrigating my fields I have to dump the wheat out of the boots. FIRE your designers

despite your size chart recommendations, size 10 was still a bit too big, and the heel slips. Size 9 would be too tight,, incidentally, my wife Amy had the same problem, had to send hers back twice. Also i had problems with the "postage free return", had to pay $25 to send back. I ended up buying a pair of Muck boots.

How does bogs not make the most common size for women? The 8 is tight and the 9 is floppy. Would love these boots otherwise.

I've worn Bogs winter boots for years (daughter too). Last year I bought a new pair of classic tall, took them on holiday trip to Portland per usual. After an hour hike up Mt. Tabor, the skin on my right front shin had been worn off and walking became painful. After bandaids, then moleskin, same. I studied the boots, and realized that with the new taller rubber shaft, the boot upper was stiffer and did not "give" when I walked. Very sad, I've LOVED these boots, but literally cannot wear them anymore. Just be aware.

These boots are super slippery. NOT safe for icy conditions. First day out in them I slipped and fell. Not winter boots!

Bought these to replace my original 10 year old Bogs, which were the most perfect boots ever. Same size but my big toe rubs on these. Calf too wide, stuff falls down into the foot. It also hits the back of my calves, leaving red marks. Knitted boot toppers to address the problems when I wear breeches but when I wear jeans and just want to tuck them in, I have to suffer through.

Not worth the money. Very flimsy

I had to return this boot because the heel curves in and rubs the back of my ankle. I have two other pairs of Boggs that I absolutely love! I was hoping to love the wide calf but did not.

Was really disappointed. The boot hits several inches below the knee and I am not a tall person. And the opening is too wide. Both unattractive think Puss & Boots and not practical for walking in fields where bugs, straw can fall into the boot. I called and it seems they have redesigned the classic boot.

Did not like the way they look on me. They run HUGE. Returned them for the same size in the "Bogs snownight" boots. My new boots fit perfect.

Not 17 inches in circumference as advertised! Only 15 inches measuring from the out side! These are a Christmas gift for my daughter but I doubt they are going to fit since they are 2 inches smaller than what the description gives - so very disappointing! I bought eight (8) pairs of these boots this year for family members for Christmas - hopefully the others are as described. I bought because the ones I bought my husband last year are great and warm. I recommend the web site be updated with accurate information! I would not recommend for someone looking for wide calf - can't explain how frustrated and disappointed I am.

I don't know, Bogs. It's -5 C out, I am wearing wool socks and my toes are still cold in these boots. They were cold for most of past winter in these boots as well. And I live in frigid temperatures. Seriously shopping for a warmer pair of boots now because I don't want to spend another winter having to resort to toe warmers to feel comfortable.

I'm very distressed about THIS pair of bogs I received. I've worn Bogs for 10 years (that's how long my first pair lasted!!) but this pair seemed "short" for the size 9 that I ordered and received. (My all-time standard size I've worn for 25 years...and the same size as my last identical pair of bogs boots) Thinking they would be the same....I cut the tags off and began to wear them without realizing the right boot seems smaller than the left boot. The odd thing is...ACTUALLY my left foot is a half size LARGER than my right. There's the proof that the boots are not cut the same. I can't wear them due to getting a blister on my large toe due to the rubbing from the boot. I'm so disappointed.

The boot leaked across the front terribly. I thought it may have been a lemon pair because I have always purchased Bogs. I sent them back and the second pair leaked as well. It appears it leaks on the top of the boot around the steel toe. Would I purchase from Bogs again? Absolutely! I think there may be a flaw in the sealant, maybe? I don't know but I hope Bogs can figure it out. My husband loved this boot! He needs steel toe water boots so I'm back in the market.

Sizing is inconsistent; return policy a joke. Back story: Bought my daughter the 'Classic Tall Badge' size 9 Women's from the farm store near us. She liked them well enough; shes not fussy. I also needed new boots but didnt buy them from the farm store because they didnt have a different color. I try on her size 9, they fit me perfect. Head to bogs website, find the 'Classic Tall Matte' size 9 women's, on sale plus 10% off but I pay shipping. No big deal, still cheaper than my Muck boots were in 2010. Turns out, it was a big deal. Sizing says size 9 but feel a solid whole size bigger than the other size 9 we just bought. In fact, everything about this boot is bigger. Longer. Wider. Taller. Obviously my mistake for thinking the 'Classic Tall Badge' & 'Classic Tall Matte' would fit the same. And my mistake for not reading the return policy before making a purchase. I cannot return OR exchange a pair of boots that were purchased on sale. So I'm stuck with a pair of boots that are too big and not very warm despite the 40 below rating. The only thing going for them is they are lightweight and match my jacket but who wants to clomp around in boots that are too big? Not me. Do not buy these boots.

I have worn these boots 3x since purchasing them and each time my left foot aches within 5 minutes of walking. The last time I wore them, I had gone out on a puddle jumping mission with my toddler, when I took them off the pain was so intense I had to sit down. If you can't wear a shoe to walk, what is the point? I purchased these to wear outside, during the winter weather. My son loves his bogs, and I wanted to love mine BUT they hurt my feet!

The front runner bends into the shin when walking. Otherwise, it would have been a wonderful boot.

I bought these three years ago and they now leak. Some rubber has pulled away from the left side of the left book. Disappointing.

These are called wide calf but they just aren't all that wide.... would have loved if they had fit but if you have truly wide calfs, skip them
