Customer Reviews L.L.Bean 6" Bean Boots

I have always believed that the Bean boot was the standard to beat for a waterproof shoe. So I sent my son on his canoe trip confident that his feet would remain as dry as the proverbial bone. Imagine my chagrin when he told me that the top of the boot was not snug enough to keep his feet from getting soaked every day.

I bought the wide boots in order to get more room in the toes. But the boots turned out to be sloppy wide in the main part of the boot, but narrow in the toes. Buying shoes or boots through mail order, without trying them on, is like buying a pig in a poke.
