​All-weather boots from Bogs Footwear Canada


Bogs puts feet first because they know the importance of a solid foundation. They believe that where you begin signals where you are going. Where comfort isn't an option, but a requirement. Where inspiration comes from nature and sacrifice is out of style.

Canadians know the need for all-weather footwear! I'm not sure when the "gumboots" of my childhood went out of style, but it seems raingear is more fashionable than ever these days. Check out Bogs for some good, Canadian, sensible footwear fashion to get you through our changeable weather, in style! :)

Bogs is not ALL rainboots, they also offer hiking boots, sandals, and work boots. Footwear for men, women and kids of all ages.

A Cautionary Tale for Online Shoppers: If it seems too good to be true....
Fashion Flop - AKA: A Moment of Shame: People, I am not immune to falling for those super cheap fashion deals online, especially during my long years of financial hardship, and I am not here to speak ill of any particular website, but I have a feeling that, more often than not, a compromise on ethical shopping standards also means disappointment in other ways... I'm not sure if you can adequately tell from these pics, but the shapeless, ill-fitting item I received when I decided to treat myself to something different did not exactly meet my expectations... 

Fool me twice...
You know what they say... yes, it has happened more than once. At least in the first case the product got delivered! I am still waiting for a pendant I ordered almost 6 months ago... and shipping wasn't even free! So this is my little "all online shopping is not created equal" live-and-learn piece of advice for you: where you shop matters for more reasons than one. All of the websites and products I promote on artsciencespirit.com come with my personal seal of approval for customer satisfaction, and the added benefits of doing good in the world. (Yes, that delivery estimate says 176 days, so maybe it will appear one of these days!). Hopefully I have learned my lesson this time! (Nobody's perfect). xo
