BOGSMen's Classic Ultra High M Wellington Boot, Black, 7 M US Men

White Mountains, AZ. I wore these for almost two years before they started leaking. They are not super warm, but if you're active, they work. Not really great for standing in snow or cold water creeks for extended periods of time.I know it's Arizona, but it gets cold up here. I live at 7200' and I work at 8500'. This last summer, we had over two months of straight rain. Snow started in October. These are great in the rain and mud. The outsoles on these are good too! Enough traction - for sure.After about the first 2-3 months, there was a little separation between the upper and the sole on the right boot. I could tell the next morning when I slipped them on - when I put pressure on the right foot, water would squish out. However, both of my feet remained dry and warm enough, so I kept wearing them.I have worn them hunting and fishing in 15F degree weather. Like I stated - as long as you're active, your feet stay warm with a pair of heavy, wool socks.The biggest problem - but I deducted no stars, because I should have thought about it - are the openings on the sides at around the 12-13" mark. Now, I will say that these handles make them super convenient to carry and are great to pull your boots on...BUT snow and especially water come right in those openings. This severely limits the depth at which one can "wade". I can't fault the boots for this, though. The pictures make it clear, and BOGS never claims that these are for deep snow and water. They are insulated rain boots, and they work fantastically in that regard.I ordered a size 12 - this is the size I wear in every shoe I own. They fit perfectly. The handles on the sides weren't even necessary for me - they slip on easily and the kick on the back of each boot makes removal easy as well.I just noticed that my feet have started getting wet (and cold) the last couple of weeks. I did order a pair of higher, more insulated boots from another manufacturer, but I will keep these boots to quickly slip on for quick runs to the wood pile when it's snowy or muddy. I just needed more insulation and height for the things I want to do. Hunting/fishing/ice fishing.OVERALL: Great, affordable boot for their intended use.

Wow

I have only just received my boots, and I am very impressed.I like the handles to help pull them on, and as a dog trainer I spend a lot of time outside in all weathers and they are war and dry. Very comfortable and soft underfoot.I have only had them for two days.I am normally a 10.5 / 46, and I order a 12 in these boots, they are slightly too big, and I thought my feet would get cold, but they did not, with a single pair of socks and being outside in -3 my feet were warm.Great boots

High quality, warm and waterproof

Great boots for Alaskan winters. They can be snug on the calves but the neoprene makes that comfortable. Warmth rating is relative - we don't hesitate to work outside in these at <-10 F. Insoles get sloppy, soles do wear, and they have a wear point on the back (from stepping on the boot to take it off). But still, I have another pair I've been slopping around in for 4+ years and they're just starting to get pinhole leaks.BOGS CO: Please, please introduce some cool guys designs!
