This pair of Bogs represents the 8th pair our famiy has purchased. We love Bogs! Personally I like the fit of the classic tall better than the rain boot, but I will still rate them a 5 star because the difference is a personal preference rather than a quality issue. We have a 14 acre farm and I am in my Bogs every day. I am very hard on shoes and my last pair lasted 2 years - which for me is amazing! They are comfortable, very well made - I can wear them with or without socks, I wear them in the summer, the rain and in the snow. I highly recommend you try a pair... I doubt you will be disappointed!
