Features

Heart and Sole--Comfort Starts from the Ground Up

The Sloggers' heavy-duty lug sole is designed for sure-footed traction in water, mud, and muck. It provides the support and traction of a good work boot. Compare this to popular "foam" shoes, which offer little support or traction. The soles are also made from a long-lasting, durable material and they include up to 50% recycled material.

The Comfort Key--"All-Day-Comfort" Insoles

Not all insoles are created equal. Most rain boots use cheap, flat, die-cut insoles. Believe it or not, some rain boots don't even include insoles.

The Sloggers' "All-Day-Comfort" insoles are 7mm thick at the heel and 5mm thick at the ball of the foot. They are formed, not flat, and include a skived support material under the heel.

The "All-Day-Comfort" insoles are one of the main reasons that Sloggers get such great reviews. The company believes that if you're going to spend your money buying their shoes, then you deserve a quality insole.

"Half-Sizer" cut-to-fit insoles (Style 330BK; sold separately) are thin insoles designed to be cut to fit and placed under existing insoles to make Sloggers shoe or boot 1/2 size smaller. view larger

Size Does Matter--Fit is the Key for Your Satisfaction

Let's face it, buying shoes online is a bit of a guessing game. Some women think the fit is true to size, some feel they run small, and some think they run large. The fact of the matter: every manufacture uses a different last (the shape of the inside of the shoe) and everyone's feet are a little different.

Sloggers shoes and boots run pretty true to size, but here are some guidelines and tips to ensure a good fit:

• Almost all women who are in between sizes should order up and buy a "Half-Sizer-Insole"
• A heavy sock will add up to a half size
• A wide foot may require a half size larger
• A narrow foot should NOT order down a half size due to the length; however, a "Half-Sizer" insole added under the existing insole will snug the fit up a bit

The chart below is a good starting point. Contact Sloggers directly with any additional questions.

Commitment to Sustainability

In addition to utilizing Best Manufacturing Practices (BMP's) regarding the environment, Sloggers attempts to maximize the amount of recycled material they put back into their shoes. Currently, they can add up to 50% of mixed recycled material in their soles, and they are able to use 100% of the clear material scraps back into the uppers.

The company also encourages you to send your shoes or boots back to them when they have finally reached the end of the road. They will grind them up and add them back into a new pair of shoes.
