5.0 out of 5 stars Best slip on Hunting Boot made!

These boots are the very best in comfort, workmanship, design, fit and feel hands down! I have used just about every slip on hunting boot out there over the years at all price ranges, and nothing beats the Bogs Co. We are a hunting family from spring turkey, to fall deer and elk and predator hunts, and we can count on Bogs boots to make our hunts enjoyable. These are enjoyably warm and the fit is true to size. If the temps are going to get much above 60deg you may find them a bit to warm, but we have tree stand hunted at 18deg with them and if you only use one quality pair of socks and slip a toe warmer in you will be good to go at that temp. The key is not to add extra socks like so many people mistakenly do, that just robs you of the air pocket your feet need to keep them warm. Better to add just a little heat in that air pocket instead, and you will be good all day long sitting. If you plan to be walking then just the one pair of socks is all you will ever need. If you are only going to use them for sitting in late cold temps they make another pair that are even warmer than the Bowman. My wife wears a woman's size 7 in all her shoes, so all we needed to do was order a size 6 in these and that makes them a woman's size 7. She says they feel better than her sneakers when walking and never wants her lace up hunting boots anymore unless it gets to warm. I agree. Enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT Boot....But...read on

I bought these boots based on their know quality, as well as customer feedback. Received them in the usual Amazon fast delivery mode which no company is as quick. At first glance my first impression was that they were of high build quality and appearance. I liked the fact that they were built and designed tough in a way that they stood up by themselves and didn't fall over or bend above the ankle area like cheaper quality boots. Boots that sit idol for a while that are not upright have a tendency to start to split and crack over time in this area. These won't. The tread design is great and not the usual wavy pattern which fails and provides poor footing on slopes and inclines. I liked everything about this boot, especially when I was able to buy it on one of the daily "lightening deals" for about $125 with my Prime account which is great by the way, well worth the annual fee.. I always order cold weather hunting boots one size larger to accommodate one or two extra pair of socks, and they are generally right on. This boot runs somewhat larger. I had ordered a size 13 , which these arrived as. I first tried them on with one pair of merino wool socks and they were really loose. I then put on a second pair of socks over the first pair thinking that would take care of the extra space as it always does. There was still more loose foot (toe area) room than I needed. The problem was that these boots fit so good around the ankle area that it prevented me from putting on a third pair of socks. So I figured no problem I will just call Amazon and exchange them for a size 12....This is where things went down hill and it's not really Amazons fault, it's just their policy. So I called customer service and had the normal language barrier thing which took extra time to decipher. Nice lady, just hard to understand. She told me she could offer a full return credit for the boots which was the good news.. The bad news was she could not just exchange them and send me a size 12 pair, and that I would now have to buy them on the Amazon website for the current price of $179.99, and not for the $125 that I paid. So I am stuck with the boots. Hopefully my toes grow about another half an inch or I have to stuff the toe area, or sell them. So guys just a heads up. No exchanges on lightening deals unless it is an error on Amazons fault or damaged or defective. If I had ordered the exact size for me being a size 12 they would have been perfect with two pair of socks. The only area I can see that might be an issue over time is the pull up handles which are actual cut aways in the upper material area, which over time MIGHT start to tear. Time will tell. One other issue is that the very top of the boots are very stiff which is good, but at the same time does not allow you to place your pant legs over the boots, unless you wear baggie pants. Other than that everything is great. Buy the boots!!!

Pro: Great boot, great design, high quality, Fit nice around ankles, sole is heavy duty. Great traction. Boot walls are sturdy design, stand up by themselves

Cons: Non really for the boots except they are snug in the ankle area which only allow for two pair of socks. The boot tops are firm and wide which prevents you from pulling pant legs over the top. Pant legs have to be tucked inside. not a real deal breaker. Finally I question whether the pull up handles which are material cut aways in the upper boot area will hold up over time and not fail. The ONLY true negative is BUYER BEWARE ON LIGHTENING DEAL BUYS...as you cannot exchange item for another size. Amazon will credit you and then you have to re buy at their regular selling price which is much higher than the lightening deal price. So bottom line order the correct size. Hope this helps out. Not blaming Amazon here at all. I just didn't understand or know about their "lightening deal " return policy....NOW I do... I would have given a 5 star rating had I been able to just exchange them.

I rated these boots 5 stars because they have proved to be excellent for what I wear them. I bought them for an elk hunting trip in Colorado and there was plenty of snow and mud to test them. They kept my feet warm and dry for the three days we hunted. Back here in North Dakota I take pheasant hunters out as a guide working my Springer Spaniels for them. I often walk 7 to 10 miles a day and these boots give me all the support I need for all day comfort. When I bought them I was concerned that the neoprene would cause my feet to get damp from perspiration. That has not happened and we have had some very cold weather recently - like 6 to 25 degree days when we hunt. The boots keep my feet warm and dry - and they are comfortable. I wear only merino wool socks which I highly recommend for anyone who wants warm dry feet. I have always warn gore-tex hunting boots and gore-tex is fine with damp to wet conditions, but when you walk in slush all day eventually the gore-tex lets moisture in. Not the Bogs! Or break through ice in boggy wet areas where there can be a foot of water and mud. The bogs keep your feet dry. I couldn't be happier that I bought these boots.

3.0 out of 5 stars I didn't skip leg day.

I had to return them because I calves are too big for these boots. I don't think my calves are even that big. I liked the boots, and the rest of them fit perfectly. I actually considered cutting off the neoprene (stretchy top) just to make the fit better. I really wanted to like them, and kept them around for a week to retry them, but no go.

Edit: My calf at its largest point is 19 1/2 inches around. This may be helpful for others that are considering this awesome boot. If yours is even an inch smaller, you'll have no issues, and can probably even tuck your pants into your boots.

After looking again at them today (just to write the review), I have to ask, what happened to the price? I paid around US 125.00 for them, and now they're around 200? I saw someone else mention price too. Why would it fluctuate so much?

These boots did not hold up. After the 60 day return time frame the bottom of one boot became split. They now leak and are no longer able to wear. They did not hold up at all. These boots have a great review at other retail stores and will take them back if they do not hold up. I would never buy a product from Amazon at this price knowing that you only have 60 days no matter what. For the price you pay they should of held up a lot longer.

Very nice boot, looks well made, I look forward to using them. On another note, when ordering from Amazon.ca you assume you are ordering inside of Canada. This is not the case with these boots which leads to a $40.00 delivery charge and drives the cost up to$328.00 for these boots. If I wasn't using a gift card for this purchase, I would have declined the purchase and bought locally for cheaper.
