This is a good short boot pull-on style. It feels flexible and the sole is well designed for safe walking. The green color is soft and lovely. The interior has support and a comfortable feel.

Sleek, beautiful shoe, but I had to return two sizes because I need a half size. Please consider making half sizes, Bogs!

Good looking shape. Size Shoe comfortable everywhere except the rim hits the bottom of my ankle bone. I solved the problem with a Dr Schol type insert to raise my foot just enough. These are good for all the barn chores I do - sturdy and waterproof so able to rinse them .

Bought this as a replacement for another style that after a year was falling apart! This is closest to the Rue model I've worn for years and I believe is discontinued.

Wind-proof and water-proof which makes them ideal for winter beach walks in New England. Sand doesn't get in! Look stylish and not clunky like some other Bogs designs can be. I did not find them too tight as other reviews stated. Not super warm though.

I really like the comfort of the shoe. I wear them when gardening and any outdoor chores when the ground is wet. I have some trouble getting hold of the tab on the back to pull the shoe on. Maybe it could be a little longer. The fabric around the top is great at keeping soil out of your shoes. I wish there was a tab on the top/front to help keep the liner from from rolling in to the shoe when you put it on. Will definitely buy them again.

Quality footwear. I found them to be a bit sloppy, too wide for my liking since I have a narrow foot. Thought about getting a smaller size but already had the smallest one available. I am keeping them anyway since I desperately need boots that work in the mud.

These are fantastic for rainy days and light yard work. However, they are not as comfortable as my previous bogs. Recommend more cushioning.

I've had the regular Chelsea shoes in the past, but they never seem to go on sale. They developed cracks in both shoes after only a few years. Bought the Painterly instead, on sale. They are more difficult to get in and out of and the footbed feels a little less stable than the regular Chelsea. But I'm getting used to them and they'll do fine for working in the garden and walking the dog on rainy days. Interested to see how long these last before developing cracks.

I really wanted to keep these, but the 9s were too big and the 8s too short. I probably would have kept a pair if they came in 8.5.

I feel bad giving 3 stars, so maybe it does need 4 or 5 stars. I had to return them since they were too large for me. I normally wear a 6 -6.5, but Bogs 6 is way too big for me. I wanted them to fit since they are exactly what I need for going back and forth to the barn. Quality and functional

Although the shoes look great, I have yet to be able to wear them. I have a wide foot and a high arch. They will not fit without some serious stretching first. The description said they accommodated a wide foot, but I can not get them on as is. I am hoping to get them to stretch in the shoe stretcher I just ordered, and be able to wear them this spring. I bought them on sale, therefor I would lose the $13 shipping I paid and have to pay to return them. Just not worth it. If I can't stretch them, I will find someone to give them to.

I don't love these shoes. They're not very comfortable and it almost feels like one of the shoes is different than the other -- both in sizing and structure (like the sole is uneven on the bottom). I plan to get some better inserts and try them instead of what the shoe currently has. They are also VERY snug on the top opening, so putting them on is a 2-hand job. They're not a 'slip on'. The super tight opening is great for keeping out the cold & rain, but makes them hard to put on without effort. Despite all this, they look great. They definitely keep out the rain/snow. I'm hopeful new inserts will make a difference. I bought them on sale so I'm not going to complain too much about them because I got a great deal. But now I wonder if they were such a great deal because they're not such a great shoe. I primarily wear Dansko's, so perhaps I'm just used to a well structured & supportive shoe.

Great looking shoe! They fury my feet. I volunteer at shelter, and we are on our feet a lot cleaning and walking dogs. We have had a lot of rain, and my feet never got wet. Woohoo

This was a replacement pair my original pair split at the seam where the sole and boot meet. Bogs sent me a replacement pair...hopefully these will be fine.

I was excited to have some waterproof slip-on shoes for warmer weather instead of relying on my tall BOGS boots, but...these did not work for me. The top of the shoe is kind of like gasket and it rubbed my ankles uncomfortably. I would need to wear high socks to tolerate that pressure point without getting a blister, and my intent was to have shoes I could slip on in ankle or crew socks. These also don't just slip on. You need to pull them on. There is a fabric hook which makes it easier, but these definitely require at least one hand to pull them on. I returned these and will continue my search.

I've been buying this boot for many years to work in the garden. The first pairs lasted until I wore the tread off them. The last 3 pairs I've bought have had various issues - the boot separating from the sole, the top cracking and the arch in one shoe breaking. I'm disappointed that the quality seems to have deteriorated.

I love these shoes! I have a pair I bought a few years ago that I've worn to death, so I ordered a new pair and was heartbroken to find they don't fit the same. Now the same size (9 ladies) is too loose in the heal and slides around. 8 would definitely be too small, so looks like I'm out of luck unless they start offering a half-size.

I bought these boots for gardening and lawn work, etc. around the house. I got them to replace my last pair of Bogs gardening boots, which lasted 14 years. So I really like these and I highly recommend them! They're cute, supportive, waterproof, and comfortable even on hot days.
