What is Bogs Classic Ultra Mid?
The Bogs Classic Ultra Mid has its origins rooted in the pastures and barnyards. Farmers spend a lot of time moving in between mucky ground and slippery surfaces, so there was a need for a boot that could handle these conditions. Since most of us are not, in fact, farmers, but do find ourselves wanting warmth, traction, and comfort in a boot to be worn during winter months, this makes for an excellent everyman boot. It excels around the yard, out sledding, or running errands. This is still somewhat of a niche boot, and for the fantastic ease of use and comfort that it offers, it was not quite as warm as some other models. That said, this is a very utilitarian and user-friendly boot that is good for just about everything other than hiking, and makes a great choice for wearing before and after skiing or other winter sports.

There is no doubt that this is one of the least warm boots featured in this review, yet it has served us well on many long days of shoveling deep snow off driveways, decks, and roofs.

This model is only available in whole sizes though, so you may find going up or down a half size necessary if you are used to ordering the half size. Bogs hand-lasts these boots, which is the reason for their good fit right out of the box. This is necessary as the rubber outer and neoprene inner bootie will not conform to your foot over time. It will stretch but stay the same shape. Keep this in mind if you try on this boot, and it does not fit your foot well. Unlike a leather boot, there is no breaking this boot in. For a slip-on model without any laces, we had a relatively secure and comfortable fit without any noticeable heel lift.
