L.L.Bean

Bean Boot 6"

Women's

Following the L.L. Bean instruction to order one full size smaller than regular shoe size yielded a perfect fit with warm socks.

These are great boots. I wear them all the time. This is my second pair. They do run large, I normally wear a size 8 and I have to get a size 7 for these, and that's with thick winter socks. They do take a while to wear in and become comfortable, but once they're they are great, just don't put them on out of the box and expect to head out on a super long hike without backup boots or at least bandaids.

These boots are great and LL Beans customer service is great. When I told the sales agent I was replacing my 34 year old boots that had a crack in them he asked it I know about the resoleing. I did but said after that long I thought it was about time to buy a new pair. He suggested getting the old pair resoled as back up. I trust buy products from them because of their quality and this kind of service.

I bought these as my Christmas gift to myself. I sized it one full size below my normal 7 1/2 size to a 6 1/2 and even selected WIDE. The tongue is sewn into the side making it waterproof. At first I couldn't get my foot into the boot. My daughter laughed at me and showed me how to untie the spiral at the end of the lace, releasing the full lace length, which allowed me to pull the tongue up enough to get my foot into the boot. Duh!

I saw a commercial for these shoes that made me want to rush to the store and buy them. I'm so happy I did. They are great for sun, rain, work, and casual. They aren't too hot. The fact they are made in the US is cool. I even was able to pick out an additional shoelace color from the store... they made the shoelace in the store!
