Bogs Footwear recently announced the hiring of Kevin Kious as vice president of sales. Kious will work to lead the brand’s next phase of growth in the sector, including farm, service and safety categories. With this appointment, Bogs is taking its initial steps to addressing a need in the work market for footwear with unparalleled comfort and durability.
“We’re thrilled to have Kevin join the Bogs team as we re-focus on the work side of the business. As our volume doubled in the past five years, growth was primarily in the casual outdoor market. The work market is an untapped opportunity. Kevin’s expertise and leadership will significantly drive business in the work sector while elevating the Bogs brand,” said Dustin Combs, President, Bogs.
