Once again, I got to accomplish my Christmas shopping tasks for my loved ones, except for myself. My kids made more friends this year, and our extended families are growing. So my personal Christmas wishlist slid farther down my list of Christmas things to do. Not that I don’t have the time, it’s just that I have that meticulous tendency to go through every item in every store before I could choose that one personal gift that is worth my hard-earned money and all-out energy for finding it.
So when I received a new pair of winter boots from Bogs, I felt like I hit jackpot! The first thing I noticed when I saw them was the quilted design and its elegant oxblood colour. It was just love at first sight. Hello, my lovely Bogs Juno Lace Tall Women’s Insulated Boots!
I just love, love, love quilted stuff because they look so luxurious. These quilted red boots can instantly rock any ordinary outfit I wear, especially when I’m dressed down in plains or simple prints, or when I’m too pressed for time to dress nicely or wear accessories. I personally call these my secret mommy boots (i.e. mommy boots that are non-mommy boots in disguise) because they’re so chic, young, and sassy but surprisingly tough and seem made to keep up with my energetic kids.
Juno’s shaft is made of 100% waterproof quilted nylon, and its foot is made of natural high quality rubber. I have no worries when walking on snow during winter, and even when stepping on puddles on rainy days. The quick close lacing system uses a bungee cord that gives the chic boots an edgy look, and I find it very convenient for easy on-and-off for such tall boots when I’m in a rush. And the rugged, slip-resistant outsoles feature BioGrip technology for safe traction and stability.
The Bogs Juno Lace Tall uses Neo-Tech insulation to provide warmth for cold temps up to -20°F/-29°C. It also has a fur lining inside the shaft that uses Bogs Max-Wick technology to keep sweat away and keep feet dry, and also adds more comfort and warmth. The footbed uses Rebound technology to serve as a shock-absorbing cushion and foot support for lasting heel comfort. It also uses DuraFresh biotechnology to keep odours at bay. That’s a lot of comfort going on on the inside!
When my daughter saw me wearing these boots for the first time, she said they looked like an adult-sized pair of Barbie boots. That was a huge compliment for me! I felt like a sophisticated woman because of its classy design. But its true test lies on its functionality in the outdoors. I have been running smoothly in them because they feel lightweight, yet I feel safe and stable even on uneven ground. My legs and feet felt warm and protected all day given the cold temperature in my area right now.
Bogs is a leading maker of quality boots not just for winter and rainy days but also for all-season-long wear, and for tough working conditions particularly for farming, hunting, hiking, and other special purposes. That being said, you can tell that their casual boots like my Juno are of great quality and long durability. They offer great footwear for men and women, and even for children and infants. And if you’re jealous of my Juno Lace Tall, you can have one for yourself in a variety of colours: black, light gray, dark green, and oxblood. Juno has a mid length model too in more colours!
