Bogs  Arcata Leather Chelsea Rain Boots - Men's

Great boots and so versatile for many conditions. So good that I bought another pair for when my first pair wear out (which they show no signs of doing after a couple years of good use). They are true to size and comfortable out of the box. The leather is well conditioned and soft, though rugged and resist scrapes and water quite well. I love the ease of the Chelsea style pull on and they are handsome enough for casual outings when the work is done. I’ve used them in the California high desert all the way up into the PNW and the southwest Alaska coastline. I’ve never had an issue with cold feet (though I’m not often in sub-zero terrain) nor have I had any water make its way inside. Highly recommended as a daily wear.

My husband absolutely loves these. Fit is true to size and he love being able to just slip them on. The first pair came and there was something uneven about the sole of one of the boots. He said part of the tread on one of the boots was a little higher than the other, so it felt like he was on a ball on that part of his foot, but we are exchanging for a new pair. He loved him so much he almost didn't wanna send them back to exchange them. I made him because that can throw of your body alignment when you walk.

Construction seems good enough and the outsoles are definitely mud and muck-worthy, but the uppers are quite heavy and do not stretch or give — at all. When I tried one on, I couldn’t get my heel past the cuff. The elastic gusset didn’t have enough “give” to let me turn the corner. This is wearing a bootliner sock, with a pair one-half size larger than usual. An even larger slip-on would likely just flop around on my foot. I’d rate these as casual footwear, and *not* for the trail.

My husband really loves these except for the fact that both pairs we have ordered and tried have one that is uneven in the heal. Not sure if we're going to try for a third time or choose something different. Otherwise it's true to size and nice boot. He's never had this issue with boots or shoes before. Maybe machine needs to be tweaked? Or maybe my husbands foot lol.

These are well made but loose overall. If I went with a size smaller they would be too short, but these boots are made for a seriously fat foot or something. Not wide; fat. They are loose everywhere but length. They'll do the job for walking around the farm on wet days so I didn't bother to send them back, but these fit terribly overall and I wouldn't recommend them.

Just got these boots and I love them! I would describe them as a "business rugged" type of boot. Versatile and good looking. True fit size. Now I wouldn't recommend these boots for super cold weather and being outside all day in them but getting into the office or a quick field/site visit they work perfectly and look great

That's my second pair for myself and I wasn't sure to get them in the beginning because my first pair of Bogs winter boots' sole were really slippery. But I gave it a second chance and the sole of this has nothing to do with my old pair. So combining style and function being now checked, I recommend them a 100%!

I bought these to replace a worn out pair of Bogs. I find them difficult to pull on as they are quite stiff in the heel. I've only worn them for shovelling snow in temperatures around -5C. I can't imagine these handling -20C. They have good traction but I don't find them particularly comfortable.

Boot fits well, but not very well insulated. This is marketed as a winter boot but without warm socks your feet freeze. The ankle portion of the boot is very rigid and has caused scraping around the outside portion of my foot. Looks great, I just don't know if I would buy for winter.

These boots have the feel of a more comfortable hiking boot that could be worn daily. Definitely a lot less bulk that a typical winter or cold weather boot. These will come in handy when shoveling the driveway as the sole has nice traction and grip.
