If the pain walking around in waterlogged shoes has kept you from more water-bound adventures on the trail, the Columbia Drainmaker is for you. No river, creek or waterfall is too much for this amphibious trail shoe. Its drainable midsole, quick-dry mesh upper and rock-gripping outsole makes the Drainmaker the ultimate hybrid all-terrain water shoes.

So get out there and explore this summer!

Bogs Spring 2012

by Hannah E. on Feb 29, 2012 in OutdoorBe the first to comment!

Spring is just around the corner, and that means spring showers, gardening and lots of farmers’ markets to peruse through on weekend mornings. Lucky for us, Bogs, a brand known for its durable, waterproof and super comfy shoes, has spring covered—at least your feet.

Bogs is also sponsoring local farmers across the country by giving them hardcore boots and gardening shoes to withstand anything Mother Nature can dish out. If you live in San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, Portland and Chicago, be sure to check out your local farmers’ markets this spring to show your support.

Check out this short video description of the Bogs Rue, a great everyday slip-on shoe for amateur urban farmers and advanced green thumbs alike!
