Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Storm Chaser Slip-On Shoes with Arctic Grip

This is my second pair really like this shoe boot

I'm a 68 year old male break dancing phenom in Georgia. Let me explain. First I must tell you I'm not an intentional break dancer and I'm definitely not a skilled one and I have absolutely no idea as to when these skills decide to put themselves on display. I know that my most memorable display was a trip to a local department store when my skills put three racks of dresses and a table full of women's underwear on me and the floor and anyone who happened to be within pitching distance of me. And, no I wasn't there to try on women's dresses or underwear. I was merely passing by when all heck cut loose. The funny thing is I was seated in my power chair as I cannot walk any distance due to my balance issues. But never fear I can break dance sitting or standing. When you've got skills like I do sometimes they just have to get out and show themselves whether I want them too or not. Let me explain further,I have two little four legged fur babies and I take them out for bathroom breaks about every four to five hours of each and everyday. Rain, shine, sleet or snow out we go into the great outdoors. After two strokes I'm not as steady as I used to be and I need all the help I can get to maintain as much stability as possible.. I purchased these awesome boots too give me some stability and help me become more sure footed when I'm outside with the little ones.. They arrived yesterday and I've worn them outside every time I go out and they appear to be giving me exactly what I had hoped they would. I only wish I'd found these earlier maybe they could have saved me a few bruises and broken bones that I've acquired over the years with my break dancing skills or shall I say my lack of skills. I bought these to help me with my walking when I can and when I can't. I also felt like they'd be great for messy weather and for taking my children out for their strolls through the woods. With all of the recent rain they will help keep my feed dry and toasty. Thanks LLBean for always maintaining that high standard and the very best quality in your products. Thank you! Thank you!

Very comfy. Good on slippery surfaces. Better than anything I've owned. Will buy again!!

Bought these for travel to skiing and winter weather. As usual they are well made. Easy to slip on but not sloppy. Much better than wearing or driving in clunky snow boots. Traction soles are stable and work well. Highly recommend.

My husband loves these Storm Chasers. The grip on the bottom really helps keep him from slipping. We live in snowy (and icy) Upstate, NY. These are a must!

Good fit warm and dry

I bought these for my husband. I ordered a size 12, based on the fact other LL Bean footwear he owns were size 12. After wearing them around the house, he decided they were looser than he'd like. We were able to exchange them at a LL Bean store 45 minutes from our house. He ended up with a size 11 and likes them very much. Easy to slip on, when needing waterproof footwear, without the bulk of a full size boot. Perfect for Vermont winters, spring and fall !!!

I'm very happy with the traction these boots provide. Makes me feel MUCH safer on winter streets, sidewalks and driveways!

I purchased these because I had a previous pair I owned years ago. They finally wore out, so I bought again.

The Storm chasers are the most comfortable shoes I own.

I'm a female that ordered the men's since my woman's size was out of stock. The shoe is well made and has great traction. I like the ease of slipping foot right in, however I did need to break in a week. I'm not able to wear thicker socks but thats ok, the shoe is insulated sufficiently. The extra loops also help with ease of slipping on.

Totally waterproof and non skid soles. Well worth the price.

I needed a type of winter shoe for safely getting to the mail box, going to the grocery store, getting gas, and walking the development once the winter storm is over. These are perfect for the slip on and go. You need to decide if your using regular socks or winter socks and get the size that works. The "gripper" bottoms actually really work. We had the perfect storm to try them out; two plus inches of powder and the freezing mist to crust everything over. Normally I would need to put the boots on and use the skeleton style of metal wire to get a good grip. These worked great! Shoveled the driveway. Our walks are concrete and the driveway is sealed so the chance of black ice is real. These give a steady feel of gripping and you don't have to find a chair and lace up the boots for a short time outside or the drive to the grocery store for whatever is needed. Lived in Maine for my career. Wished I had these back then. Quality is "LLB" nothing more needs to be said.

I've used a lot of shoes and boots over a span of 65 years of hunting and fishing. This product is too good to be true. In the slush and snow it is very safe, waterproof, and keeps you from slipping. It is comfortable beyond belief. I got them originally as a driving shoe and camp shoe but the darn things are so comfortable I've even been wearing them to work!! I truly believe they are one of the great shoes I've ever owned. It is very rare to find a product that is better than advertised but this is one of them. Thank You!!

I bought these for my boyfriend a few years ago. He hikes with his dogs daily. He loves them. He was thrilled with them. I recently purchased the taller version for him and he loves them too.

Up here in snowy New Hampshire, my husband needs winter shoes/boots with good tread for walking in snow and on ice in our yard, on the driveway, and taking the dog for his walks. Not only does the elastic at the throat make the shoes fit well, but they make it easy to slip them on and off. The tread pattern provides fantastic traction for secure walking in any weather.

Bought these for my husband for the winter and rainy days when he takes the dog out. He absolutely loves them! Warm and comfortable and keep his feet dry too.

I have had these shoes for 3 weeks now and there has been ample cold, icy, and snowy weather in MN to test them. Happy to report that the shoes keep my feet warm, snug, and dry. The grip appears to be quite good with no slipping and sliding. Plenty of room inside even with heavy socks. I am a size ten and purchased a ten. Only comment is that the opening is snug and I had to use a shoe horn the 1st 2 weeks to get the shoe on, Now that it has loosened up a bit I can get the shoe on just by grasping the loop on the heel. The shoe fits well and does not appear loose while walking.

I normally wear a size 9. I wear these with a pair of alpaca socks and they are perfect. At times my feet are too warm, better that way. They are not 100% slip proof but close to it. Yes I would buy these again. I feel they are worth the money. I am in my late sixties and live 10 miles North of Boston, where the sun is always shining

Well made and comfortable. Good gripping soles. Best of all DRY FEET!

I love them. Great fit, well made. I expect them to last a long time.

I bought a pair for my husband, now my 22 year old son wants a pair.

Bought these for my spouse who hemmed and hawed saying he didn't need them. Was he wrong and better still, he loves them! They keep his feet dry, super warm and the ease of putting them on and off is a plus!

I live in the Icebox of Connecticut and these shoes are exactly what I'm looking for. Great in rain, slush or snow. Easy slip on, waterproof and warm. In the office they keep my feet warm but because they breath I don't sweat. Highly Recommend!

Gift for my spouse for Christmas, He loves them, states he does not slip on the ice any more, and they are very comfortable
