Customer Reviews L.L.Bean 8" Tumbled Leather Shearling Lined Bean Boot

Love these. Been wanting some for years. Finally bought some at a pop up shop.

I received these on October 25 in time for a trip to North GA. I did some hiking and walking around the shops of Clayton and I had no wear/comfort issues at all. I've owned a pair of the 6-inch Bean Boots for 10-plus years and they have been awesome, but I decided I needed to try the shearling for more warmth. In my previous 6-inch non-insulated boots, I wore a size 6M. After reading about the sizing with shearling, and the fact I wear thick socks, I went for size 7M. And I am very thankful for the reviewer who recommended the shearling insoles. I feel like I got a great fit with no slippage and plenty of toe room with breathable space to help keep air circulating and my feet warm. Also, since getting older, I've had issues with width and buy more shoes in wide now. HOWEVER, with my Bean boots, I believe the M width still works for me. I am right on the cusp of M and W and even wearing thick socks and with the insoles, the M is working for me in these boots. The real test will be when the temps get into the 30's here in Georgia and I'm out and about "standing" and waiting to photograph wildlife. That is when I've had issues before with toes hurting from the cold with non-insulated boots. If these hold up anything like my previous 6" boots, I'll be very happykeeping my fingers crossed that the shearling insulation and shearling insoles will keep my toes warm when needed. Also, if you get the shearling insoles, make sure to check out the size chart and order the correct size. I had to order the size 6 for my size 7 shearling boots.

It is wood stacking season and they kept my feet warm and dry in rainy damp conditions.

Just ordered a replacement pair. Had my first pair of these shearling lined boots for years and wore out the soles. My feet are always cold in the winter and most snow boots simply don't have a lining sufficient to keep my feet warm. These are fashionable AND functional. Waterproof, slush and snow-proof and warm. I've gotten countless compliments, especially when I fold down a bit of the shaft to expose the shearling lining. If you're debatingstop and hit buy. They sell out fast and I promise you won't be disappointed. I typically west an 8.5 and an 8 fits well even with thicker socks. Definitely worth the investment.

Feel good & fit good. Got them mostly for football games. Have had Bean boots before so I knew I would like them. This time I got a pair with more padding .

I bought these boots for a trip to Iceland at the end of January 2023. The boots were warm and comfortable as I toured various Icelandic landmarks and walked downtown Reykjavik. I was very pleased and recommend these to anyone with the need for winter weather boots.

These fit like a glove and I love them. I own two pairs.

Love these boots- my feet are finally warm in the snow!

I love all my LL Bean boots. They are durable and warm and great for the outdoors especially in the inclement weather where I live and work in the mountains. My feet are always comfortable and dry. I highly recommend these boots!

Warm, waterproof, comfortable and versatile. Love.

These are great, high quality boots. I think they will last me a long time.

super comfy and easy to take on and off.... great for trail walking!

very comfortable and super warm Went for over a 4 mile walk the first time I wore them

Love these boots so much!!!! Warm and cozy and perfect for winter weather. My new favorites.

Fabulous boots so warm absolutely perfect. I've been eyeing these for a while. So glad I finally bought them.

Super warm and comfy! This is a fantastic boot that everyone needs!

I bought these boots recently prior to a trip to Colorado and they were awesome. I always struggle with cold feet and these boots solved that problem. I did not feel cold at all walking through snow in 10F. I am normally a size 8.5-9 and bought a 9 W. They are plenty big even with a super thick sock, but not uncomfortably big. There isn't much arch support, so I plan on adding an insert. My husband is now eyeing a pair to buy as well after seeing mine!

Very comfortable! Love the color! They run large and wide. I normally wear a 6.5 and the 6 is a little large.

These boots are incredibly well-made and substantial, yet not overly heavy; they're a pleasure to walk in, and despite their heartiness they also feel mysteriously soft and supportive. I am typically a 7.5 in shoes, just a touch wide of foot; I ordered the 8 wide and I think I am going to have to go down to a 7 wide. Either pair will work easily for my low-key orthotic inserts, though the boot itself is fairly supportive in the arch. The 8 will work with thick socks and I may end up keeping them, but it's worth the trouble of reordering to get this one perfect if possible, because the boots look like they could last for ten years of hard wear or more. The seal is watertight, the shaft is strong without hurting me or feeling too rigid, the leather is rugged yet sumptuous, and the shearling is soft and warm (I need the warmth but synthetics make my feet overheat). I'm at the point where I'd rather spend $249 for something of quality that won't go into a landfill after a year or two. Recommend one hundred percent! Did I mention they look charming with anything? A perennial classic? Yes and yes. Worth every penny.

Worth it to upgrade from the standard ones that aren't lined if you're looking for a solid but comfortable warm boot

I had gotten my wife a robe fir Christmas (she would honestly wear it 24/7, if she could), so I figured she might like Bean boots, as well...boy, was that a good call. She raves about the boots: warm, keeps feet dry, don't slip, etc. Another home run for LL Bean.

Warm and dry and comfortable, love these boots!!!!

I finally found the boots I've been looking for for so long. Though they are very pricey., they are well made and hopefully, should be worth the investment. I wore them on a recent trip to the mountains in the PNW where there was lots of snow and they performed well. They're a little big, purchased an 8 wide and normally wear a 7 wide in LL Bean boots but wanted extra room for when I need to wear heavier wool socks. The insole that came with the boots doesn't have a good arch support so I replaced them with my normal Superfeet insoles and they're much more comfortable. So far, I'm very happy with these boots. I wish more shoes and boots came in a wide width.

My wife is delighted with them! Fit really good. Keep her feet warm and dry. Has never had a real LLBean pair, and can see the difference in quality!
