Customer Reviews Bogs Holly Chelsea Rain

I really loved this boot. It was warm, completely water proof (which I needed bc I purchased for possibly walking through ankle deep puddles,) and looks good enough to wear to dinner. I have to give 3 stars because even with a sock up to my knee, the boot really ate up, to the point of bleeding, the skin of my ankle/leg at the sides where the rubber opens to allow for the stretch of the side panel. I read many reviews and only ONE other mentions getting cuts. I had hoped my anatomy would not put me in that category, but it did. I am working on creating some sort of cuff or padding to add on by sewing or glue bc I wore the boots with bandages covered by moleskin on my out of country trip, so they are not returnable. I had worn them around the house, and could feel a little scratching, but I assumed a sock would cover the spot.

BOGS Footwear was so helpful, efficient and great quality shoe. I'm going to get another pair, this time for myself.

Very comfortable and waterproof. True to size. I have two different colors and love them.

These are the only rubber boots I have ever liked. They are so comfortable and cushy! I went a size up so I could thick wool socks with them when needed

I use the boots to take my dogs for walks when it's raining - I just recently purchased them, so I'm sure they will come in handy at other times as well.

Very comfortable and light. Love the style and will wear for a long time.

These are cute and seem good. But I don't like the way my foot sits. I'm used to the way the other one felt and this is too high.

Very comfortable to wear but a bit difficult to pull them on as my boot does not just slip on. I must wriggle and pull them on in a sitting position.

Overall it's exactly what I wanted -- I can walk in it, it won't overheat for warm-but-not-sandal-weather, and the orange color gets so many compliments. My only complaint so far is that the top is stiff and rubs painfully against my lower calf. Other reviews have said that will break in with a few wears, so I'm padding with socks and leg warmers for now and hoping for the best.

My only complaint is that they are narrow around the ankle so unless you wear higher socks or tuck your pants in they can rub and be uncomfortable.

Tried to exchange but don't offer half sizes. Had to pay shipping to return. Sad because they were highly recommended

While the boot looks cute and I know would have worked for the purpose I bought it for, they were too narrow for my feet.

I bought mine almost 2 years ago. I use them to walk the dog during our wet season. Water now comes into a gap in the 'seam' of the inner arch sole.

They are comfortable and fairly stylish but the pull tab to pull them on broke off the 3rd time I put them on. They definately get the job done but feel a little flimsy.

Shoe looks and functions just fine, with one problemthere's a lump in the footbed near the edge of the shoe that you begin to feel after walking for half an hour or so. It's only in one boot, so seems to be a defect. It does get annoying.

It was too difficult to put on and take off because of my instep.

They look great and are waterproof but were tight at the top, in ways that other boots that size are not. after a day of wearing them it was not comfortable.

I got these boots for gardening. I wanted a pair that I could hose off without soaking through, and indeed, I can do that, which is great. I don't love the shape of the soles. I feel they are somehow very unstable, though I can't pinpoint why that is. I have rolled my ankle numerous times wearing these around my yard. What I dislike the most is how hard these rub the back of my legs. Even with thick socks they rub so hard my legs are on their way to raw after wearing and will burn in the shower. I have other Chelsea boots and I know that some running is a little bit of a hazard with the style, but unlike my other, leather pair, I don't think these will ever break in or loosen up. And my goodness, it just really hurts.
