Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Stonington Chukka Suede

I like them! The suede is darker than I had thought, but I think the picture is pretty darn close. Suede is soft and pliable and wraps nicely around my ankle to tie. Nothing cuts or bites into my ankle. The footbed is quite flat, but I have high arches so that could be a me thing. The toe box seems a tiny bit narrow which normally would make me pause, but I expect the leather will stretch and be just right. For me, they feel just right with thick socks. Sizing is spot on. I can't usually wear LLB shoes, but these are a winner.

I love these shoes! The color is a beautiful, warm dark tan and the quality speaks for itself. They fit me perfectly with a light sock, which is exactly what I wanted. They are not heavy and look great with pants - work and jeans. My feet are very happy!

These are perfect. well, a little snug in the width, but I have very high arches, so they'd be normal for most people - and will stretch. They're comfortable and light enough to not seem too clunky. Well-constructed and so good-looking that even my teenage kids say "wow, mum, cool shoes!" Good job Bean!

Can't find a more unique, and stylish looking shoe. Fully covered in suede and have a boot like cut, making them look amazing.

You cannot go wrong with these chukkas. They look great, they are well made, they are worth the price, my feet like them, and, with the proper care of the material, they are wearable for years to come. I used to wear a size 7 but now in some shoes I wear a 7 1/2. I purchased the 7 1/2 and they fit perfectly. I have no regrets about this purchase; another LL Bean winner !

Exactly what I was looking for! Perfect fit, looks good, comfortable and easy on, easy off!

These are the best looking women's suede chukkas I've been able to find so I'm disappointed they were too wide in the heels. At first I thought they were perfect but when I took a few steps on an area rug, I could feel the heel slippage. I tried them on with a pair of thick socks so that didn't help. I ordered my regular size 9. My feet are thin and regular width.

The shoe is a little tight but well made. It should wear well and form to my feet in time. . The laces seem extremely long and actually could be a bit shorter. I like the color and the look of the shoe.

The product was nicely constructed. It just didn't fit me well. I'm not sure why I tried to buy shoes online.

These boots are my favorite. Easiest boot to break in! I love the simplicity of design and comfort. I wear a size 9 but ordered a half a size smaller, which was just right.

Loved the color, length and width was good but in my opinion they lacked good arch support. I also would have preferred a slight heel.

Very nice, but they make my feet look longer than they are. LOL They're great with jeans.

Beautiful quality, but a bit stiff. I have to work them in a bit more. By the end of the work day I had a mark on the top of my big toe where the shoe bends.

Great shoe. Needed insoles to make them a little more supportive. True to size and comfortable to walk in.

These are really disappointing shoes. I just havent had time to send them back.

Well made and usual Bean quality. The sole was heavier than I anticipated (expecting to wear them mostly indoors). Decided to return them for a lighter weight boot although liking the appearance of your boot.

I like the wide toe box, but the shoes are not as comfortable as I thought. I plan to keep them.

I bought these on a whim. They are so cute and flattering. I love the gray. I am wearing them around the house to see if they will break in and soften. I wear a 6 to 6 1/2, bought the 6 1/2. No way I can get s sock on with these. They are too narrow for me. Giving it some time before I return. Fingers crossed!

These are well made boots but the footbed is completely flat. There is no arch support at all, none. There is a thin insulated insole is sewn into the shoe, so you can't remove it to swap it out. I added a high arch orthotic to help and now the shoe is tight, especially the toe box. I don't really want to go a size larger so I'll have to take them to get them stretched. I'm really hoping this will work because they're the perfect fall boot. The color is really nice and the workmanship seems sturdy.

Looks great, but needs some dedicated break in time. I bought these for work and accidentally wore them for the first time on a day when I was not planning to walk 10 miles around a concrete stadium. Of course, I ended up with blisters and shoes that still need more break in time. The leather I chose looks great, and is a good line between a professional work shoe and a comfy shoe...hopefully they'll soften as I wear them more.

I loved the Suede Chukka shoes I ordered, however.. I needed a 10.5.. and LLBean does not sell this size.. Size 11 was too big, so I had to order a 10.. then I had to find a Shoe Repair store to get the 10 enlarged, stretched, which was possible since they were suede. That fixed the problem so I can wear them, but they're a little tight. Shoe sizes are hard to guess what will fit.. since I had ordered another leather shoe in 11, and it fits perfectly.. so who knows?? Thanks for the great customer service help I did get when I needed some advice on what to do..

I like these shoes. I think they are cute and go nicely with jeans or business casual. I did waterproof them before wearing, hoping they will last a long time. The toe part of the shoe was tight when I first wore them, but they seemed to stretch and mold to my foot pretty quick. These are a flat shoe and no real arch support (FYI for those with foot issues). They have some cush from the rubber soles but none inside the shoe. I would consider adding a cushion insert but there is not enough height inside the shoe I'm afraid, to do this. I would not wear these on a day that I will standing most of the time. Also, I have a narrow foot and have some difficulty finding shoes to fit me, I have no problem with these shoes being too wide.

Niice color and comfortable, but lacks traction. I wore them on a ice cold day but slipped on ice.
