I was surprised in the solid heavy weight of these shoes. They are thick rubber all around especially the bottom soles. They feel a bit on the heavy side when walking in them but then again they aren't meant for walking (just around the garden/yard). They fit pretty well, but are a little hard to get on as they are tight around the ankles. I think they may be made that way so water, dirt etc doesn't easily get into the shoe and if your in mud they won't fall off.

I like that the bottom soles are super thick as kicking the pitchfork in the ground hurts normally but with these shoes i did see a slight difference in the way they handled the impact. There's a little traction on the bottom too but not too much where they look like cleats. They are easy to spray off with a hose. I keep an old car tire brush near my backdoor so when I hose my shoes off i can brush them too.

Overall I like them better than an old pair of sneakers or work boots which never get clean and you really can't hose them off like you can with Bogs.
