The fit and size are PERFECT. I’ve been looking for this shoe. It’s actually a little darker than pictured which was a wonderful surprise. They’re comfy, warm supportive, solidly constructed, and will form to my feet over time. Great purchase. Thank you for making this shoe for women, LLBean!!!!

LOVE them! But as of Oct. '22 color is exactly as in product image (a classic desert book khaki color) - not darker as other reviewer mentions, and shows in her photos. They fit fairly true to size. If there's concern about a tight fit, I'd recommend sizing up. Especially if you want to put orthotics in as there's no arch support. The insole isn't removable. I like how they look with a looser straight leg jean (not a tight leg). The rubber outsole is a definite plus for icy conditions. So waterproofing after Fall might be advisable if wearing them into Winter. Though is will also most likely darken the suede, which might be optimal for the winter months anyway.
I'd also recommend:

Runs large. I wear a 7 1/2 and 7 would have been better.

I really like these shoes. As someone else pointed out, they are actually darker in color than depicted - which I prefer! I usually wear a 6 or 6 1/2, and the size 6 I ordered fits perfectly. They are really comfortable and I like the way they look!

I have wanted a pair of chukkas since I was in high school. They were only made for boys. When they first made women's' boots they did not make a wide width. Finally, I open up my catalog to see my dream shoes in wide for women and in the color I always dreamed of owning. These are perfect. Super comfortable right out of the box. I wore them all day the first time I put them on. I considered wearing them to bed--something I haven't had the urge to do since childhood. I love these boots!

These are surprisingly not comfortable at all. The width is narrow and the way my foot fits inside the shoe is just uncomfortable. too bad. they’re nice looking shoes but must return them.

Stiff material, no arch support or cushioning, , like standing on cardboard, stiff.

Love these boots. Extremely comfortable.No break-in time required and very light weight. May not be good if you need a lot of arch support.

Great shoes. Get compliments all the time. I have the tan and blue ones. The blue were stiff on the back when I got them but I just bent the back in and out for a few minutes and they are perfect.

These take me back to my high school years in the early 70's when we wore cords and chalks boots!

Loved "desert boots" in the 60s (as a kid), and these are pretty much the best quality of this type that you can get today! The all-natural materials are high-quality smooth suede & soft leathers; The rubber soles have the perfect comfortable feel and look great! Shoe laces could've been shorter, but that is your preference to change if you want. Shoes are comfortable and true size 8 fits fine with plenty of room for thick socks! They look fabulous with Levi 90s jeans and a flannel shirt!

These comfortable boots will look good with jeans or cords. They're comfortable right off the bat and fit perfectly.

I love that they don’t have a heel and are very comfortable with the toe box not being too narrow.

These shows have been one of my best purchases. The suede gives it a dressed up casual look while keeping my stride comfortable throughout the day. I pair them with dark toned jeans or black.

I bought these shoes to replace shoes that I bought from LL Bean over 30 years ago, that had finally wore out beyond repair. This style isn't exactly what I wanted but are very close and will meet my needs as a replacement. I like the shoes although I had to purchase replacement shoelaces, the ones that came with the shoes weren't a good color match and were way too long. I found some great replacement shoelaces and they were inexpensive.
The shoes fit well although I need to break them in, the crease on the toes hits wrong, but that should adjust as I break them in.

I ordered the Stonington Chukkas in 7 1/2 wide as I have an injury on one foot. The shoes fit comfortably and I am considering ordering another color. The suede is flawless and I particularly like the fact that the sole is in a co-ordinating color.

Comfortable and well made. I'm not a sneaker person, but these are just as good for a long day that involves lots of walking on varied terrain.
