These Boots Were Made For Walking (In Nature)
When you live in the woods, certain gear is essential. Anytime you leave your home, you’re going to be out in nature, and that means having the right footwear is paramount. While hiking boots are great for certain adventures, at home you’re going to want something you can easily slip on and off and always have at the ready. That’s where a magnificent pair of farm or work boots comes in. I’ve tried several brands and nothing comes close to the quality, comfort, and performance of work boots by BOGS Footwear.
Here are some things I think you should know about the exceptional products made by BOGS:
Comfort
These boots are super comfortable. Whether you’re going on a short hike down the trails, working out in the pasture, or working around the house, your feet will thank you. The support they provide is stable for this type of boot, and I always look forward to slipping my feet into them.
Convenience
Because these boots are so versatile, they are convenient to use anytime you go outside. They literally slip on and off in seconds. I keep mine right by the door and probably put them on and take them off a dozen times every day.
Durability
BOGS boots are super durable and last a long time. After fifteen months of hard daily use, all the stitching and seams look completely new. And, on those rare occasions that I take the time to rinse them off, you’d swear the boots just came right out of the box. The interior of the boots also looks brand new with no visible wear. The same goes for the bottoms and tread.
Waterproof
These boots keep my feet dry. Whether I’m taking a stroll through the pasture in the morning dew, hiking trails in the rain, or standing in the middle of the creek, my feet never get wet.
Support
The inner design of these boots is outstanding. While they are a slip-on form of footwear, BOGS did a great job of making them comfortable and supportive. I can wear them for hours while walking through the woods or working on the property.
Warmth
North Carolina can get cold, and when the temperature drops, I know my feet will be warm and dry. If you’ve never worn a pair of farm boots and you hate having cold feet, then you’re in for a treat. I’m also impressed that I can use these boots in the hot, humid summers without feeling like my feet are overheating. Lastly, the odor-resistance of the inner boot is impressive.
Protection
Protection is the main reason I need a high-quality pair of work boots. When I’m out trekking through the forest or working on the property, I know my feet are safe. And when my feet feel safe, I feel safe. I’m not worried about stepping near a snake or about walking through the thickets and brush. The soles are also extremely slip resistant. I have large boulders that I walk on, and my boots always grip them without slipping. I’m able to inch my way up and down at an incline with no worries about falling.
Design
Some things that work really well in life don’t look pretty. BOGS boots, however, have a stylish design that exudes quality. Not only are they functional, but they look great too. My wife is a minimalist, but she still has two pairs of BOGS boots. To me, that says it all.
Maintenance
I’ll be honest and admit I don’t really do much to keep my boots looking good. I put them on and take them off. They stay a little dusty until the next time I walk through the rain or dew and when they’re wet, I just let them air dry. Still, they look remarkably new, with no scuffs, tears, or scratches.
Value
Some will say the price tag is high, but for the quality, performance, and sheer awesomeness of this boot, it is a real bargain. When you buy a pair of BOGS boots, you will neither regret your purchase nor ever be without a pair.
Conclusion
I never recommend mediocre products. If you live out in the woods, or just need a good pair of boots for working outdoors, look no further than BOGS Footwear.
