Bogs  Arcata Urban Leather Mid Snow Boots - Men's

We really liked these boots at first. They were for my son, and were very comfortable and good-looking. However, they lasted for less than three months. The top of the left boot came off the front almost entirely, due most likely to a design problem (the stitching placed too close to the edge).

First winter hike on a trail and the leather ripped! I didn't even remember banging against any rocks or trees or anything, but got back and there was a large gouge out of the side of the boot. Not for real world use. Seems cheaply made with inferior materials; Single stitching should be for fine tailored shirts, not boots! I was also disappointed that the waterproofing did not hold up for more than 15 minutes, with moisture getting in wherever the snow was melting in the creases and those creases joined stitching. I would not recommend other than city slicker use.

Very comfortable, warm boots for walking to work in New England, especially after the leather upper has broken in. Roomy toebox which is nice for someone like me with a wide forefoot. The sole is very comfortable and grippy, my only small issue is that the grooves in the boot that make it so grippy on snow also happen to be very good at trapping snow and ice when you bring them inside, much more so than other winter boots. Even after a few hard stomps and taps I still get a hefty puddle around the shoes once I come inside.

The boots are warm and waterproof. I get compliments when I wear them. They've done beautifully so far. Already making memories with them as they've helped me trudge through 2-3 feet of snow to cut down our Christmas tree. My feet stayed warm and dry. So far they've outperformed other very popular big brand boots I've owned. Also, I really appreciate the very roomy toe box. BOGS hit me up about doing an honest review product swap. I'm in the PNW and would love to put your boots to the test!

Really impressed with the look, feel and quality of this boot. It's appears well made and I expect it to last. I have not had it in very cold conditions but did wear it snow shoeing around 20F and my feet stayed warm. At 20F without expending that energy they were still good and warm, but I have a suspicion that much below that they would not be as warm as I would need. Other boots I have that perform well at those Temps are much thicker and seem to have more insulation, but like I said, no actual experience there yet. They are indeed waterproof and have performed well in heavy 30F rain and in slush. Typically wear 9.5 butt needed a 10. I also prefer shoes with a little more room in the toe box, these have it but 9.5 just didn't feel like enough space for socks and free toe movement. Good luck.

The boots are replacing some older Bogs that were 10-plus years old that I had been repairing but finally gave out. They are very comfortable, warm, and waterproof. I wear them every morning, walking the dog. Minneapolis can be cold, wet, and slippery. These have been great. They are lightweight but still feel very stable. The old version had eyelets all the up. These have hooks for the top two, which will last longer and make them easier to get on and off. I am very pleased with these
