It's my first-time buying hiking boots from LLBean and it was not disappointed one bit. This Vista Hiker is a light duty and a hybrid between hiking and walking shoes. The fit is just right one and my size is 8 1/2. I feel like the sole has very good grip.

Great price and great looking. These shoes look stylish and sharp. I want to keep them looking nice, so I'll wear them during dry warm hikes. Also good for casual wear. I haven't worn them very much, so I can't review their comfort, but they seem comfortable so far.

These boots are a variation of some "low-tops" I have that are very comfortable, and LIGHT! I find that I rarely wear socks with these boots they are so comfortable. They are well constructed and adapt to many uses. Highly recommended!

Extremely comfortable, used them immediately for my 3 mile a day walks. Contrary to other reviews, I found them easy to put on. Best of all, they were on sale at a very attractive price!

Cool shoe/boot that fills a middle ground need between a boot and leisure shoe.

They are like wearing slippers. I have worn them around the house, but look forward to better weather to try them outdoors.

The first time I put these boots on I thought they were a little long & a little narrow. After wearing them for a short time they have conformed to my feet. They are not only handsome, light & comfy they are a joy to wear.

I bought a size 11.5. I wear a narrow shoe and these fit me perfectly. They are a little difficult to pull on because of the attached sock, but still fit great.

I was searching for a minimalist, comfortable, lightweight over the ankle boot to wear hiking and camping. I'm often on staff at Trail Life USA camping events. I'm on my feet all day, but not necessarily hiking or backpacking. These will be my go to footwear for relatively fair weather, light duty outdoor events. Very comfortable. I will sno-seal the suede to tone down the looks, and they will go great with the uniform. Highly recommended.

I always love when a shoe gets both. I find the hikers to be incredibly stylish. They're also well made, with use of suede and metal buckles. The vents allow for breathability without being too susceptible to light droplets of water. Above all else, vista hikers are undeniably comfortable. This is my favorite shoe of the year.

The fit is great. The only issue I have is with the grommets. I am not able to tighten the mid section without tightening the toe area as well.

Very comfortable, I like the ankle height. The stretch all-around tongue makes the shoe not particularly easy to put on (like taking shoes off at airport security in Canada). They are stylish in an odd way, but I do like them. Size 11.5, fit great in length and width. Wore these in Europe with long pants, jeans, and shorts. Looked great.

These were really comfortable right out of the box. They look great and are really light. I dont know how well they would do on a hard hike but Ive just been wearing out around my house while working and just as a normal everyday shoe. Overall I really like them and the price was great.

I really tried hard to like these, they reminded me of a favorite pair of shoes from many years ago. The fit was perfect, they are very comfortable, and light. Alas, in the real world they fall short. They don't have either enough padding or support for my 180 lb/6ft body. They offer too little traction on wet concrete for my needs. While extremely comfortable around the house, I couldn't walk in them for more than a couple of miles without my feet and back hurting. Possibly they were designed for someone much lighter/smaller and not adequately scaled up to my size 13. I tried wearing them multiple times in multiple situations to see if I could make them work. In any event, I very reluctantly returned these. I hope that a future design iteration will be more suitable.

Reasonably comfortable for an inexpensive high-top. I really like the neoprene-ish inner collar, it improves the fit and keeps gravel & dirt out. Good for knockaround wear, maybe short hikes.
