Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Mid Hikers

Nice, comfortable shoe. A little warm but they are waterproof and breath well. Enough cushion for comfortable walking

Nice looking shoe...seem comfortable but too early to tell with the poor weather in parts of the country. Will look forward to better weather for wearing and trying these shoes out. I like the style and design thus far.

I enjoy this shoe for normal daily wear. However, it fall short for prolonged walking or hiking. I walk a minimum of 3.5 miles a day and the lack of cushioning has ruled this shoe out for such activities. I like the look and feel but not for hiking.

Cannot review beyond "they run small." They looked great with attractive colors and design.

Comfortable and light. Not the best looking pair of shoes, but they work!

Pros- True to size, lightweight, comfortable Con- the inside lining means I can only wear tall socks with these

A little tight - I think they run narrow - I should have order the next size large and wide.

This is more of a high top sneaker. I thought it would have a sturdier hiking boot tread. I like the elasticity of the fabric around the ankle. They fit well and look nice, but I would not call it a "hiker."

Comfortable but putting them on and tying them can be difficult.

I purchased these boots for my husband as a summer hiking boot. We liked the materials and the tight fit around the ankle. The tread was more of a sneaker tred than hiking boot. My husband says they fit like his old converse high tops. Not much of an arch support and his foot slides side to side when walking on a slope. We will keep them, but still in need of a summer weight hiking boot. Will have to look elsewhere. Bummed out about that!

I wish the footwear had better support. It's not the best hiker for the money.

It's just ok. For flat terrain. Not a true hiking shoe. But for the price, a decent buy.

Stylish but not well designed. Will give you foot/leg/hip/body pain after extended walking. My custom orthotics don't fit in them either. If they were neutral and my orthotics could fit, this may be a different story! Lace design is poor too, not easy to tie up

The seems from the liner inside the boot are bulky and rub against the foot/toe. Cannot wear for a prolonged time, let alone on a hike.

Difficult to take off and put on. Not easy to lace.

I bought these End of March and it is June 1st. Already the threading at the toe has come undone. The thread itself ripped so this us clearly a defect.

Love the shoe, dislike that LL Bean is discontinuing a popular shoe after only 2 years and not replacing it with a new model.

There is an inner boot/sock that I was not aware of. I could not get the shoe on my foot. Returned them.

Too tight. The boot may have been the right size, 8.5, but the neoprene? boot insert made the boot hard to get on and compressed the foot to a point of discomfort.
