The Bogs Sauvie rain boots are a perfect example to illustrate the difference between a casual and a rain boot. Made entirely of rubber to keep out cold and moisture as well as to give an excellent experience like a cushioned sneaker underfoot.
As the boots contain a heavy rain boot look more than the leather ones but we can assure you of these boots not being discolored under harsh treatment or in deep mud.
The Bogs Sauvie is one of the best in the lineup of comfortable shoes providing a long-life and toughness. With the perfect stiffness to cushion ratio, these boots are exactly what you need from your desired boots.
Bogs Sauvie Boots Model
The boots are designed with highly thickened cushioned-insoles that are designed with a plastic shaft in the insole. The shoes also have moderate neoprene insulation which makes them a comfortable choice on a wide range of occasions and at different temperatures.

The shoes easily slip on and fit snugly with almost no slipping.
Performance in the context of weather
As noted the Sauvies are waterproof up to a respectable 5. Besides the neoprene stretch panels(which are also supposed to be waterproof), the Sauvie boots are made all from rubber. When tested, it was found that the rain boots undesirably leaked a bit that was a bad sign.
When an immersion test was performed that was done without wearing socks, it was found that after 7-10 minutes, the boots started leaking from somewhere, and the feet felt damp. When observed repeatedly, it was confirmed that the boots were conducting moisture through their footbed.
Performance in the context of comfort
When it comes to comfort, the Bogs Sauvie is at the top of the table. The boots have a well-cushioned bottom and one can use them for all-day without facing any issue. Though soft-cushioned shoes are too flexible and dizzy to use on rough surfaces or terrains, the Bogs Sauvies are shaped in a proper way to provide you total comfort.
The boots contain one of the best insoles we have ever found. Being extremely thick, more than an inch and some even have a plastic shank designed to provide longitudinal rigidity, the boots do not let you feel any pain or feeling when stepping onto a pointy object.
Performance in the context of Tracking
We can’t say that the shoes are perfect for hill tracking but they do beat almost all the ordinary shoes available in the market.
The boots come with a Biogrip slip-resistant outsole that protects you and keeps you safe and secure in muddy places and wet uneven terrains. However, the heavy work boots beat these ones when it comes to providing high-grip in slippery places.
The selection of the boots depends on how muddy the area you are going in and what the conditions will be when you’ll want to test your boots.
If you are looking for a low modeled pair of boots to use in a sufficient wet place, we will surely suggest buying the Gobs Sauvie.
Performance In the context of warmth
There will be only a few shoes that fit comfortably in hot temperatures and the Sauvies have proved to be one on the list. The shoes come with a standard comfortability in warm regulation.
Being low-lengthened boots, the Bogs Sauvies do not hold in the heat and warmth that strongly, and the 3mm Neo-tech waterproof insulation is used to give you a feel of comfort in different temperatures.
Being tested from 30-60° F, the boots proved to be a great choice for places with a moderate climate. And if you desire to have temperature-changing shoes, you should look out for climate-specified shoes.
The boots contain a 3mm Neo-tech insulation that means that they just fit right into the middle of the item and protect you from cold ice(but only for a few minutes). When tested, the boots comparatively lasted a few minutes more(without giving us sensation to cold) than bare feet.
However, as per the research, the Bogs boots start leaking after about 7-8 minutes of starting the experiment and the staff felt cold and dizzy.
If you have to use your shoes even below 30°F, you should look for some burlier boots.
Bogs Sauvie boots are quite stylish
We can easily compare the Bogs Sauvie with the Bogs Carson, which recently won the award for their high-rated looks and style.
The Bogs Sauvie continues the tradition as well as adds on some more toward the rainboot aesthetic with its high-class molding. The rainboots still beat out most of the rubber shoes when it comes to style, and this is also a nice choice to use them casually.
Bogs Sauvie Boots fits for most of the sizes
When a pair of 13 number Bogs Sauvie boots were tested, it was found that the boots were a bit snuggly with remaining less than a quarter-inch for the space forward and backward.
The boots can be said to be a bit narrow for D-width feet but they are still comfortable as they fit under the D-width feet.
We suggest the boots to the folks with narrower feet and if you got a wider foot, you should check out Steer clear.
Bogs Sauvie boots Value
When it comes to value, we can say that buying the Bogs Sauvie boots can be a great choice in the list of low boots. They really satisfy you with the value they get to provide you great comfort and fitting.
Talking of the quality of the shoes, we have consistently found that the boots leaked about all the time when tested for being waterproof.
If you buy the shoes, we recommend checking their waterproofing in the tub.
Conclusion
The Bogs Sauvie boots are an excellent choice when it comes to styling and comfort. The boots are also very valuable for tracking as they have a great grip-resistant and a 3mm Neo-tech insole that protects you in muddy areas and on uneven terrains.
However, the boots are not a very good choice for rain boots as they have regularly been found to be leaking when put in water or cold ice tub.
