Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Stonington Oxford Shoes Plain Toe

These shoes are by far the best work shoe I've ever owned !! I work on a horse farm in Kentucky at night working 8-12 hour shifts in all kinds of weather. They fit perfect, are comfortable and most important are waterproof. I hope LL Bean makes them forever !!

Great looking leather shoes, lots of room for the toes, nice insole with moderate arch, and shockingly light. They weigh nothing which I cannot explain in a heavy leather shoe like this. The roomy toe box and the very light weight and comfortable insole makes them extremely comfortable, great to wear walking or hanging around on your feet for a long time. My new favorite shoes

I think the title says it all. I wish LLBEAN would permit more than 50 characters for a Review Title because it feels a bit like I've got to write a Haiku in order to provide a descriptive Review title. Anyway, back to the topic at hand, which is the feet. Or more precisely, what goes over the feet, i.e., the shoe. It looks and feels good. It is IMHO an excellent "office casual" footwear item. I highly recommend it for both feet. My fat feet are between a D and an EE. I bought the D and it was too narrow so I exchanged it for the EE and it was perfect. Enjoy, and go take a hike!

Same great show as I purchased last year! Great fit, incredibly comfortable, fits my orthotics and looks great. No complaints!

I purchased these over a year ago and wrote a review..After time has gone here is my second review. At first i wore these on occasion. About the last six months I have worn them almost everyday.They have become almost my go to shoe for all purposes and are wearing real well.This is a durable,comfortable all season ,dress or casual shoe.Work or play A quality shoe..If and when I need another pair of shoes this one I will buy. again..Thanks LL Bean...

I bought these shoes 2 years ago for a trip to Europe in winter when we knew we would be walking a lot. They worked amazingly well. We walked in snow, hiked, gravel trails, climbed Castle steps and rarely stopped moving. These shoes were comfortable, durable and stable. After that, I really put them to the test. We hiked trails at home and I wore them for general labor tasks where I might wear a boot. These shoes survived mud and water just as well as they survived our walking tour. I have probably put close to a million steps on these shoes and they are still going strong. It's hard for me to give a stronger recommendation to any product I've used in my life.

Shoes look nice and fit well. Arrived when expected, very happy with this purchase.

Finally a pair of shoes with flat sole that looks good and works with orthotics! After wearing them for 15 minutes, I don't want to take them off. Some might find these to be a little stiff, but they confirm to my feet nicely and I can really feel the support from my orthotics.

This is a good looking very comfortable shoe. The color is a nice chocolate brown with a texture similar to suede. I have large feet (size 13) and these shoes fit true to size. This is a deep shoe, some people will like that some won't. I wear boots for a living so the deep shoe is something I like. These shoes allow for a heavier knit sock. I highly recommend!

got these shoes in my normal wide size to do work in the backyard. They are very sturdy, but also roomy and comfortable enough to wear around the house or for errands.

Out of the box these seem really well made. True to size and insanely comfortable.

I was looking for a casual shoe that did not have an aggressive tread that would pick up and hold pebbles and mud. This shoe does have a tread, but much less severe.

These shoes are comfortable to wear right out of the box, and always a quality product!

I bought these a year or two ago in-store and they quickly became my go-to shoes for... basically everything! They look nice enough for going out to a restaurant (assuming it's not black tie level dining) and for casual office wear, yet hold up well for walking the dog in bad weather and New England ice. For me the fit of 10 M was perfect, and the overall cushioning keeps your feet and back comfortable throughout the day. Easy to maintain, I periodically applied leather protection to them to keep the water or snow from seeping in, and they easily clean up if I got dust, dirt or mud on them. I'm about to buy an identical pair because the soles are wearing down (again, after near daily usage for a year or more) but the upper section still looks great. If I could, I'd just get them re-soled; I don't think that's an option though, but I have no complaints at all.

Very comfortable replacement for my workday shoes. Ran a bit larger than expected but after dropping a half size they've been perfect.

Very comfortable and well made. I will probably buy another.

Have always worn 11 d sneakers, 10.5 d shoes. Went with 10.5 medium and thought it was right initially, but concluded it was too big. Tried a 10 d and it also seemed right initially but in walking around the house a bit I realized still too big. One more try with 9.5 d solved it. Have not worn 9.5 at all in my adult life. Here is what I think - Stoningtons run a bit wide, and consequently your foot tends to go deeper into the toe of the shoe, leaving a gap at the heel if you foot is not quite wide enough. Bottom line - I had to size down a full size, but the fit is great and I really like the shoes. Service by the way was excellent through.

My husband loves these shoes! Stylish, comfortable and true to size. Don't hesitate to purchase!

Very comfortable all-purpose shoes. Good heel support and sole is good for all types of terrain.

Very pleased with these for waterproof snow and rain shoes that can be dressed up or down. These replace waterproof Rockports whose soles wore down due to inferior rubber. The flat sole on these Stoningtons is more stable than a separate heel. The tread is grippy on snow and ice. The fit is perfect for my 9.5 wide feet.

I was tired of buying sneaker like shoes and this shoe caught my attention. Feels like a sneaker looks lots better. Also, this shoe easily takes on all your casual dress needs. I did find that I needed to size down half size and go with a wider width than usual. Very comfortable as well.

Bought online - I've always worn 10.5 d in shoes, but 11 d in sneakers. Went with the 10.5 d and got it right. Beautiful casual oxfords, great with jeans. Had high hopes and very pleased.

The Shonington Oxford is a quality shoe! It's well made, comfortable, and true to its size.

Surprised by their comfort and flexibility. And warm.

A great shoe comfortable right out of the box. This is the second pair I bought.
