Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Low Slip-On Hikers

These sneakers are great for running errands, but not sturdy enough for hiking. Cute looking, too.

Easy to slip on and go with a nice casual, clean look

Need a shoe horn to get them on, but once on they are comfortable and size is as expected.

Nice looking sneakers and I love the blue color. They seem comfortable except I have a narrow heel so needed to put an insert in to keep them from slipping. Also, they are difficult to pull on. You definitely can't just slide your foot in. I'm hoping they will loosen up a bit after wearing them more.

Cute and durable but hard to get into due to lining.

These are well made and comfortable. I use them for trail walking, moderate hiking and walking the dog in the neighborhood. I do use a shoe horn to put them on, because it's just easier for me to slide in my foot meaning they don't really "slip" on. Once on, they fit comfortably snug around the foot. The fit is true to size. I wear a mid weight sock with them. This will be my second pair purchased in this style. While my old ones are not completely worn out (I've used them for 3 summers) I saw them on sale and purchased to use next year.

Really well made, good looking, but a bit hard to get on for an older lady.

I have a pair of similar shoes from Llbean that I love and with socks they are really comfortable. These run larger and are awkward to wear, for me anyway. My feet are unusually small so to be fair, an average sized foot they may be perfect. So they sit in my closet. Llbean is such a good company to work with that I didn't send them back because it could be my foot, not the shoe.

Great looking shoe, but not a good design for someone with high instep. There is no adjustment in the arch, so it is very difficult to put on, even after sizing up. Once on, it is comfortable, but I probably won't be wearing much. The larger size feels too big, once I get it on.

Let me start by saying I love these shoes! Love the arch support and the overall look. I would like to see 2 changes for a 5-star review: the black neoprene/mesh "skirt" that prevents dirt from getting into the shoes: could it be made in grey or some other lighter color? The black makes it look old/cheap it takes away from the appeal of the shoe. The other minor thing is a little more wiggle room on the elastic on top of foot. My foot feels quite squished- i am still breaking it in, but it is quite tight. Not for any type of thick sock at least not in the beginning! Apart from these two points, I really like them!

Bought these for two upcoming overseas trips where easy on/off, waterproof and gripping soles were called for. When they didn't feel perfect out of the box, I wore them at home with different socks, shifting the laces, until they seemed broken in. Have just recently taken them out on short walks so far, and they feel quite good. Slightly too roomy in the heel, so no hikes too fast or long for them - but they make me smile.

I love the look of this shoe and it is overall comfortable. They go with so many different styles! Just a little difficult to slip on. My feel are more on the wide side than the narrow so that may be the challenge.

Adorable looking suede shoe for a great price. I love that they slip on but the opening is very narrow. I'm going to try them out for a few days with different sock thicknesses.

Very comfortable shoe for walking or hiking. Slip-on style with laced look. Heel cup is a little too wide but solved with thicker socks. Overall a good buy

These shoes are really comfortable and fit me well. I wanted a slip on shoe and this meets.the description except they don't slip on easily. I have to grip both tabs and wiggle my foot a lot. And bend over, too. It really defeats the purpose.

They are sooo comfortable. I love them. I only marked them down a star because they are hard to get on.

Once I got the shoes on, they were comfortable with a good sized toe box. The shoes were harder to put than other slip on shoes I have which wouldn't be solved even if I ordered another size. For that reason, I returned them.

My first pair with laces were comfort from day one; these are still a bit tight with the elastic "laces", but I will wear them in the house till they loosen up! Stick with the laces for those of us with a high instep.

Because of a back injury I was looking for a shoe that I could slip on from a standing position. Even though you don't have to tie the laces of this shoe, the heel doesn't allow you to slip the shoe on. You do have to sit down or bend over to pull the tab on the heel to get the shoe on. That said, it is super comfy and my foot doesn't slip around inside the shoe. Very nice shoe for walking.

Love these! I was a little hesitant to purchase seeing reviews but they are super comfy right from the get go! I wear 10 and sometimes need 10.5 or 11 but these 10 fit great. They are super cute and only negative is the light color suede material that I only assume will get dirty. But I am using for camping and taking them out this weekend so we shall see but that's what life is about...exploring and getting dirty and trying new things! So if you are on the fence on these I say "send it" click and say yes! :)

They are comfortable and the quality seems fine (need more time to determine how well they will wear) but don't slip on quite as easily as I'd like and don't grip my heel well. However, it's not easy to design a slip on shoe that both slips on easily and then stays on. They meet but do not exceed my expectations.

Nice shoe, comfortable but didn't fit. Tried both the size 9 and 8.5. On both sizes, the heel slipped so much I couldn't wear them. Really liked the blue color too.

These shoes were very difficult to get on the first several times. However, they have stretched since then and are quite comfortable for walking around.

I love these shoes! They are super cute. HOWEVER, they are not roomy at all and so narrow :(. If you need an orthotic insert, move along because there is no way that there is enough room in this shoe for one. I love them enough that I am going to take them to be professionally stretched. Fingers and toes crossed!

I absolutely loved how these hikers looked on my feet but didn't find them comfortable enough to keep them. The color is different than most hikers as well as the more attractive style, which is why I bought them. Other reviewers said they were comfy. I do have arthritis which may have affected my discomfort. I wish it was otherwise so I could have kept them.
