I've been needing a pair, definitely looking into the bogs. Thanks!!

[@brucenunez01]

Thank you for sharing your insights.

[@wilderlifehomestead]

Great content! I hope to see more from you soon.

[@hestiasgardenhomestead7562]

I wear the low rise bogs at work, I work for a pork processing plant. They do work well in that environment as well

[@yvonnekrause6806]

Love mine ♥️ I have 3 pairs. We farm chickens, cows, & have horses. In Delaware we have lots of mud and all 4 seasons of weather. Most times I wear them all day every day.

[@commercialconcepts2198]

Just bought some Bogs Bedrock II 8” composite high tops. Looking forward to to trying them!

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Nice!!!

I don't remember what our rubber chore boots were when I was a kid growing up on the farm, but they didn't have any breathable materials. My older sister has a farm and she uses HISEA Women’s Waterproof Boots.

[@kipcudd7253]

I've got the bogs also and I use a boot horn to get them off.

[@chadhutzell9543]

Idk if you've heard of the brand but kamik has a large line of rubber boots some of which are made in the us. You should totally check them out!

[@colinscoines144]

The exact same thing happened to me. Except mine are over 2 years old i need to look for an alternative.

[@MichelleJ..]

I have problems with my knee from an injury. I have to wear boots that lace up tight around my ankle to keep my leg straight so my knee doesn't hurt. But I will recommend my husband watch this as he is looking for some boots like that.

[@liz_bif6004]

I've worn bogs for 10 years about, thick wool socks prevents the rubbing.

[@AndrewMoorey]

Check out Engo blister prevention patches to reinforce that heel area.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🏡🎥👍👍👍

[@MrNathanh3]

Try the Bogs Bozeman boot. It’s seamless and 30% lighter with a -72 temp rating. Also another good option would be the workman seamless.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Oh awesome, I need to a check those out!

[@russellehrgood9835]

Most of my work shoes wear out the heal, after a year or so. So I started using a shoe horn to put on my boots, stopped the heal wear. I think that putting on the boots causes this problem. I also have a boot jack to take them off, so much easier. I wear a 13 wide and was wondering how the medium width fits? Could not find a wide in Bogs boots.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Yea a shoe horn would work GREAT!!!!!

[@danmoore5509]

You said you wear a 9.5 but Bogs are only full sized. Did you get a 10 or 9?

[@pennywillis8895]

🇦🇺Maybe you need a thicker sock to help with the heal ware in your muck boots.

[@jordanmercredi3740]

I have yet to try mine i have an opposite problem that most people have with thick soles most people likes that it makes them taller im almost 7 ft tall i really gotta watch when im wearing boots lol. Duck 2x as often

[@FabulosoSpray]

Would you find that these boots run a bit bigger/smaller or run accurate to normal size? Can't find any other boot to fit me, thinking about giving these a go.

[@marcspencer800]

Definitely smaller

[@FolstrimHori]

My company supplies bog boots but I always thought they had a durability issue, as after 3 months holes would start appearing in the sole and the waterproofong would be completely shot. Maybe my company just bought the cheapest kind of bogs.

[@christopherhughes46]

After 1 year the sides were blown out on my bogs. Severely disappointed. I'm trying mucks this time

[@TracyTsVideos]

I purposely buy boots a bit larger than I would like because I wear thick socks for extra cushion and for more insulation for Maine winter use. I just deal with hot boots in summer time. Marino wool socks are not cheap, but they are great for this purpose.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Us too!!! 😁😁

[@jaredr2518]

Wish they made a damn comp toe with the handles to put on

[@Faithfulfamily]

I'm using Dryshod. The steel toe version. The Bog boot wasn't bad that I tried but I think the Dryshod is better. The Muck was terrible! I went through 3 in less than 3 years and I tried a Bekina boot which I didn't have any success with either. Dryshod all the way!

[@lisasharples5654]

My husband's Bogs only lasted 1 winter...they now have a hole in the heel. Totally disappointed.

[@caverunbassmaster7659]

Best muck type boot I've ever owned 👍🏼

[@IGmeanwell]

I have the same Bogs as your original pair and after four years I wore down the heel. I still wear them from time to time but I decided to get a new pair which I have found to be way more durable. I have the workman low composite toe (I use for heavy duty work, tractor work and snow plowing) very warm not too heavy. Then I bought a pair of Bozeman Yulex for my wife who finds the men’s fit more comfortable but then her foot shape size changed while pregnant and so I wear those now as my main snow boot for play with my 9 year old. The Bozeman and workman both have extra fabric at the ankle just above the heel that kind of sucks your foot into place. I believe that was to limit the amount of foot movement while walking without making the boot too difficult to put on or step into; that may fix your heel problem (the classics don’t have this heel pad).

[@alextorkelson]

What are your thoughts on Bozeman vs Workman if you don't mind me asking? I'd assume the Workman is more work driven, but is it actually better?

[@IGmeanwell]

@@alextorkelson the short answer is the Yulex Bozeman I have are incredibly warm, flexible but not much in terms of protection. The Workman are aimed at protecting your feet, however they are still warm with more insulation in the bottom of the foot so if your on concrete or ice the cold takes much longer to carry through the rubber to your foot. Finally the workman has way more aggressive tread and in general more stiff from its hard toe. Both are amazing for the coldest conditions in the foothills of the Adirondacks where I reside but the workman are not great for play and the Bozeman are more aimed at work/play where you don’t need protection. Also the Bozeman feel more sneaker like.

[@alextorkelson]

@@IGmeanwell Definitely appreciate the reply, that helps a LOT! Thank you. I'm personally a residential electrician in MN so probably identical weather to Adirondacks, and I'm often standing on concrete for long periods of time for devicing. Composite toe hasn't been necessary for me, but cold carrying through the rubber sounds like Workman's maybe a no brainer lol. I'm tempted to buy both types just for testing purposes, I'm kind of hoping Bozeman + 'Darn Tough' (brand) boot socks do the trick.

[@IGmeanwell]

@@alextorkelson the workman plus the darn tough mountaineer socks are my go to below 0F and it’s super cozy. They also have a workman soft toe, well I only have the composite I can’t imagine the difference is that different other than added flexibility. I love Darn Tough socks, the main factory is about 90 minutes from us and we have a local outfitter. For the coldest temps I stick with their mountaineers or the hunters … haven’t tried their work oriented ones yet.

[@alextorkelson]

@@IGmeanwell Feeling like an absolute rookie right about now.. didn't even NOTICE heavyweight mountaineer exist, absolutely awesome lol - just ordered Mountaineer and again super appreciate it. Been using Darn Tough midweight, and as of today - midweight Darn Tough + Bogs Bozeman and feet were toasty while it was 25 out. Looks like I'll be having fun experimenting Mountaineer + Bozeman soon - potentially to find out Workman boots were a must..

[@FrankChesser]

in my opinion they are the best comfort on my feet. if they could stop the soles from wearing and gettin leaks before a year i will keep buying them unless that would be another 50 dollars

[@northwesthappz5033]

Put a piece of duck tape at that spot it will slide off and on better

[@bigpaul1170]

Wearing socks might help the heel problem.

[@tigar0485]

11 months doesn't sound like a long life for a boot BUT when you do the math to find out what you pay per use + the warranty, it's not so bad. $140/334 days = $0.42 per day to use the boots for 11 months

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Well, actually it’s 11 months TIMES TWO, sense I should be able to get at least another 11 months out of these brand new pair of boots. Which just came in! 😁

[@bewell4743]

I wonder if there is some sort of extra comfortable patch that you could lay on the inside heel section of the boot that could be replaceable and would take the brunt of the wear to extend the life of the booth. It also comes to mind that perhaps your lack of socks sometimes puts the wear directly from the heel to the boot. Where if you wore socks, that would act as the patch i described above, perhaps the boots life would dramatically be lengthened. I love this section where you mindfully thinking through the right foot and then the left foot then the left foot and the right foot, that was hilarious. Very refreshingly real videos.

[@Liofa73]

I guess because you're wearing them constantly, you're getting a lot of hours out of them for the price you paid, getting your money's worth for sure. Whether they can reinforce the heal with more stitching is something you'll have to take up with them. Because you're a heavy user they might listen. I wear the heals out in my shoes, there are some heel products you can fit into the shoes to stop that.

[@UkjentDimensjon]

I'm so confused.... this was a very positive review so why do you regret getting them??

[@BetterTogetherLife]

There was a “?” in the title. Sometimes you gotta get the KZbin audience’s attention. Not clickbait, just an attempt at an enticing title.

[@danwesson2485]

All slip on boots chafe the heel. It is the design.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Yea. 😕

Why do so many people say whenever instead of when? Anyways great video, great work

[@cmnr8487]

"when" is one time, "whenever" is more than one time ongoingly.

[@landylaura]

Try using a Dr Scholl's heel pad in the back. I mean they're not gonna send you a new pair every year, buddy.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

I know right!!!

[@brentolsenthanksformaking2528]

I wear them in Wyoming there pretty good Romans 10:9

[@666dynomax]

Buy Dunlop’s

[@cseanny]

I recently bought a pair of Bogs Madras boots and whilst they are extremely comfortable to wear, they are absolutely useless on mud! No traction whatsoever! I use them every morning when I go on a 4 ish mile walk with my neighbour. Whilst I’m slipping (and swearing!) my way along the trail he’s flying ahead in front in his £15 Dunlops! No issues at all. The tread design on the Bogs is so bad it’s ridiculous. My next pair of boots will be Dunlops.

[@alias_not_needed]

what a misleading video title...

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Did you see the question mark?

[@alias_not_needed]

@@BetterTogetherLife yes. but still a suggestive question in my oppinion. with such a question i would expect a different result of the review (if i were the first time on youtube) :D
