Why We Love This Deal
REI’s latest clearance drop just unleashed hundreds of new deals on everything from waterproof jackets to travel packs and more. There's a massive sleeper pick in this section, though—an unsuspecting pair of work shoes from Bogs. It's not the normal kind of thing you'd expect to see at REI versus a pair of Danner hikers or running shoes, but they're sporting a discount north of 50% and are a must-see for anybody in need of protective footwear.
At just $63, the Bogs Shale Low Comp Toe ESD Work Shoes give you everything you would want from a durable work boot, and package it up into a comfy shoe design that you could wear outside the shop for running weekend errands.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Color: Black
- Size: 7 to 11.5, 15
- Waterproof: 100%
- Midsole: EVA
- Outsole: Rubber
- Odor-Resistant: Yes
These were made to bridge the gap between jobsite safety and running errands, giving you all-day comfort without the typical stiffness of a boot. The composite safety toes meet ASTM standards for impact and compression protection, which means that dropped tools won’t leave a dent. The outsoles are also ESD-rated (electrostatic dissipative) with a slip-resistant design that provides more ground contact on slick or oily surfaces.
They've been built with a cushioning system that provides excellent rebound and odor-resistant linings to wick away moisture, keeping your feet dry and your shoes fresher smelling.
While these were made for tradesmen and warehouse workers, they are surprisingly great for anyone who is on their feet all day long. This makes them a phenomenal pick for DIYers, home renovators, mechanics, landscapers, or just the guy looking for a super durable shoe. To top it off, they’re 100% waterproof.
As for the price, you won't find one lower than what REI is offering. The next closest price is from the brand’s own website at $90, and Zappos is offering them at $120.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Almost all shoppers who rated them over at REI agreed that these are solid work shoes. The negatives are mainly about not liking wider toe boxes, though this design is actually better for anatomical foot positioning.
One enthusiastic buyer noted that the strong, protective, comfortable shoes are “magically perfect.” Another called them “tough,” especially considering the 7 to 10 miles a day with 50 flights of stairs they put on them daily. They said these shoes “take a beating, and by the end of the day, my feet feel good.”
With a hefty 55% discount, these Bogs Work Shoes are bound to sell out fast. Grab yours before they’re gone.
