If you love your BOGS, then we’ve been on a journey together. A journey to increasingly decrease our carbon bootprint. We have always made BOGS to last, and have heard from so many customers how their old BOGS have become someone else in the family’s new BOGS.

We’ve also been taking serious steps to be a better global citizen by using more earth friendly materials, reducing our waste, and increasing our use of energy from renewable resources. Here’s a sampling of some of the initiatives we already have in place and we will keep pushing and sharing with you as our bootprint gets smaller and smaller and smaller.

Better Materials, better products.

<b>GOLD CERTIFIED LEATHER FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.</b> - As we research and incorporate best green practices, we are working with suppliers who are on the forefront of responsible manufacturing. We insist that all of the leather we use in our products is sourced from gold-rated tanneries that use less water, less energy, and eliminate wastewater pollution.

<b>NATURE IS THE BEST DISINFECTANT - </b> As counter-intuitive as it sounds, some odor protection technologies have pesticides in them. We discovered that natural probiotics do an equally effective job without polluting our waterways with harmful chemicals.

<b>SUSTAINING FORESTS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.</b> - We learned that Yulex was making wetsuits out of natural rubber sustainably harvested in FSC-approved regions. Then we discovered that the more natural rubber we used in our boots the better they performed. Classic win-win.

<b>BY LIMITING WASTE WE WE EXPAND THE POSSIBILITIES. </b> - Our rubber factories minimize waste by using as much as 40% post-industrial recycled material. You’ll find recycled laces, outsoles, webbing, textiles and binding in our Classic Casual line.

<b>CLEAN RIVERS & LAKES EVERY STEP OF THE WAY </b>- BOGS is partnering with BLOOM to integrate algae-based EVA footbeds across our entire line. These replace the petroleum-based plastic foam found in most boots and athletic shoes. BLOOM has their own mission, which we’re excited to be a part of: cleaner air and lakes, rivers, and streams.

Warehouse & Packaging.

We focus on the great outdoors.

But we’re also looking for ways to reduce waste and increase energy efficiency in our offices and global distribution center. As part of this, we’ve invested in solar with the goal of generating 100% of our energy from renewable sources by 2030.

For every boot,there's a box.

Packaging is a challenge in the footwear industry and we haven’t figured out the perfect solution yet. Right now we’re reducing our impact by using recycled cardboard, soybased-inks and natural glues.
