Boots are comfortable and good quality. The wide width is great,it's hard to find wide in some boots. The fact that the boots are waterproof is a plus. I am never disappointed in my purchases from LL Bean.

The fit is good and comfortable. I would say that if you are a half size - choose a size up. The shoe is very nice looking and I am very happy with the purchase.

Women's Boots, these Hiking Boots are wonderful... sturdy, comfortable. My husband and I hiked Mt. Major over looking Lake Winnipesaukee in October, approximately almost 2 hours up to the top, very very comfortable.

I bought these shoes for hiking, they have incredibly good ankle support and tread. I also wore them in the rain and my feet were completely dry. They are a bit heavy, so not the best to pack for a trip, but I'll take a few more ounces to have dry feet and good ankle support.

These boots are very comfortable and support my feet and ankles very well! I love these boots! I live in NW Arkansas, in the Ozarks and these are perfect for hiking here.

I bought these as a present for my 69 yr.old mom, but bought mine 5+ years ago. She is still skeptical of the LLBean return policy and lifetime warranty; which is funny to our family who knows how awesome LLBean is! They are great for hiking, she wanted something for our new house which has 4 acres of woods and includes a small stream. She was tickled pink. Can't wait to have her try them out;expecting 5 plus inches of snow later today.

I work outside so I'm always looking for waterproof boots. So far I've walked through 2 days of heavy rain and my feet have stayed dry. I always buy a 1/2 size larger to accommodate additional inserts . The width is good and they are very comfortable and light weight.

I read the reviews, I ordered the boots. Since my feet grew(it happens when you get older), I outgrew my beloved LL Bean hiking boots. My new pair are sooo comfortable. No break-in time needed. Love the color!

They are well constructed and so far have kept my feet dry when hiking in the rain. I would recommend this boot to anyone.

I was very please with the fit of these. Their customer service personal assistance with me picking out what was best for my region and my knowledge of hiking - Only issue I had was the area around my the top of the boot rubbing my leg - just need to break them in..

I got these for Christmas but I have worn them a few times with receiving them, and they have great support to the ankles! The tread is also great. As I am a frequent hiker, I look forward to using these!

I bought these boots because I had planned a trip that required 3 8-hour days of walking (flat terrain - not hiking), with the potential of wet/muddy ground. I wore them around the house first to see if they needed any break-in for a few weeks prior to my trip. At first, I found the high-ankles a bit uncomfortable -- but realizing that it was really because I had never worn any boots with high-ankles. The area that I was to be going on my trip did have the possibility of snakes and a few inches higher than most boots might be a little helpful. Plus, I do have weak ankles and have sprained and broken my ankle just from stepping on uneven surfaces - so high-ankles were also a requirement. But after a few days using these boots around the house, I didn't even 'feel' the high-ankles any more (I did wear thick high socks for those few days which helped with getting over the high-ankle feel). Essentially, there was no break-in period for these boots! By the time the trip came, the boots were as comfortable to me as any good pair of boots -- I hardly noticed them during my 3-day trip (and no snakes - just a few alligators - lol!). I now wear them just about anytime -- they look really cool too! Online shopping for shoes have always been a challenge for me - sizes always seem to run the gamut. But these boots were spot-on -- not too narrow, not too wide; just perfect.

I bought a pair of Bean waterproof hiking boots for myself last year and really like them. I wanted my 10yo granddaughter to have a similar pair so bought her these. She likes the look and comfort of them. Highly recommended.

Due to several foot problems, my Podiatrist recommended buying a high top hiking boot to wear when at the cabin. Since I need a wide width, I found ordering from LL Bean was the answer to finding a comfortable fit as well as being an affordable boot. I like the style and now look forward to hiking in the woods.

Wore these for 4 days of hiking on Long Trail in Vermont. I have Mortan's Neuroma and need wide boots, these did the trick. I did not have blisters or pain. In many areas I had to go through water, my feet stayed dry. Thanks!

I bought the snow sneaker last winter and was blown away by the warmth, quality and lightness. I needed the very same fit, comfort and waterproofing and was guided by customer service to the Trail Model 4. After wearing daily since I received them, I am happy with my purchase. Although not quite as tall as the winter boot, it keeps out debris from weed eating and cleaning horse stalls. I have skinny ankles and am able to tie up tight enough. Stiff the first few days but they left no sore, tender spots on my ankles. I don't even know I have them on. In fact so impressd, I ordered my husband a pair of the men's Trail Model for his birthday.

I need orthotics and great support. Finding boots in my size with a wide option is nearly impossible! So grateful for L.L. Bean. Works well and are well made, plus I love L.L. Bean guarantee I am wearing L.L. Bean clogs that are 8 yrs old, I plan on the sneaker/boots lasting the same way.
