Wearing Your BOGS°

Is the footwear intended for summer, fall or winter?

Bogs can be worn from one season to the next. There are varying levels of insulation, but generally they can be worn from temperate to sub-zero conditions, introducing new technology that helps wick away moisture for added comfort.

The taller style boots such as the Classic Highs are generally more comfortable from September to May. These are insulated with 7mm of Neo-Tech™ and lined with Max-Wick, a wicking fabric designed to rapidly move moisture leaving you feeling dry and comfortable. Some of our other styles feature light-weight insulation, so you're going to be comfortable year-round.

Any Bogs boots without a temperature rating are not meant to be extreme cold weather boots. You could wear these styles inside all day or outside on a chilly rainy day but they are not meant to be worn in any extreme cold weather.

What is the calf circumference of a Bogs boot?

The circumference in the calf on our Classic women's boots is 14 inches. The boots are constructed with four-way stretch Neo-Tech, accommodating a larger calf than standard rubber boots. For even more calf room, we recommend the mid height boots or lower profile shoes. To find exact measurement, review the product details.

How thick is the Neo-Tech lining?

Bogs Neo-Tech™ insulation is designed to keep your feet warm and comfortable. For more temperate conditions we offer a lighter weight alternative with 2mm of Neo-Tech and 2mm of Airmesh and for colder conditions, we offer 7mm of Neo-Tech lining that's comfort rated to -40F below. The four-way stretch SCUBA-like material is 100% waterproof and is designed to add extra cushioning and protection from the elements.

What Are BOGS° Made Of

Which materials does Bogs use to make their boots?

Natural, high quality vulcanized rubber that's durable. Bogs are insulated with Neo-Tech™ a four-way stretch inner bootie for added comfort and warmth. The Classics are constructed with a waterproof upper made out of this same material which is 100% waterproof - all the way to the top, just below the handle. Bogs are comfort rated from temperate to sub-zero temperatures, depending on the style and level of insulation. To learn more, visit http://www.bogsfootwear.ca/shop/technology.html

Will the coating on the sole wash off?

The coating on Bogs soles was added to protect the rubber. It will wear off right away on any rough surface like asphalt or just a few times worn outdoors.

General Product Questions

Is the neoprene portion waterproof?

Yes, Bogs Neo-Tech™ is a flexible synthetic rubber which is 100% waterproof. It helps insulate as well as keep you dry.

What if I have PVC or Latex allergies?

Bogs are PVC free, but some are made with latex for stretch and comfort.

Can I wash these boots in the washing machine?

Only Baby Bogs and B-MOCs, can be cleaned in the washing machine. To do so use a gentle cycle and wash with cold water. Add half the usual dose of mild detergent. Remove your shoes from the washing machine and allow them todry in the sun, stuffed with paper or similar to preserve their shape.

What socks would you recommend for optimal warmth?

We recommend wearing one pair of medium-weight, moisture wicking socks with your Bogs. Wool is the best. The air surrounding your feet is what keeps them warm. Bogs are designed to capture your body heat and insulate it from the outside elements. Layering socks potentially inhibits air flow within the Bogs and circulation in your feet.

How do Bogs fight foot odor?

Bogs feature DuraFresh – an all-natural, organic bio-technology that activates to fight odor.

Do you carry wide sizes?

At this time, Bogs does not offer wide sizes.

Do you carry half sizes?

Starting in Fall 2014 we will carry half sizes in select styles.

How do you determine Bogs temperature ratings?

Temp ratings are a guideline to communicate warmth. It’s important to note that each person is unique and has a different circulation that impacts warmth.

To assign the temperature rating, we use a cold box test method. This test puts stainless steel balls with wire probes down inside the boots. The boots are then put in a freezer and the temperature is reduced every 30 minutes. When the boots show more than a ten degree variance from the ambient temperature, then the boots have reached their warmth limit.

Are Bogs knock-offs at certain retailers comparable in quality?

No, Bogs knock-offs typically contain no natural rubber, which in turn leads to no insulation. This means they typically offer no warmth to the foot.
