Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Stonington Chelsea Leather

My feet are normally 6 1/2 or 7, and I have a wide toe bed. So I ordered size 7 wide. Length was fine, but the toes were too narrow, and the heels were enormous. I like the color and quality, but they don't fit my feet.

Very cute but ran small. I take a 7.5 and tried a 7.5 and an 8. Even the 8 with medium thickness socks were too tight. I ended up returning them.

Beautiful shoe too tight, and I have a narrow foot

Although they are cute, they are extremely uncomfortable, narrow through the toe box. I have narrow feet and thought they could be broken in and even tried shoe stretch spray through the toe box. No help, and now I am stuck with shoes I loath to wear.

returned for the wide so I can wear socks with them

They looked great, I liked the style, but even though they were marked as a wide width the toebox was too tight with anything but very thin socks. I returned them.

I wanted to love these but the sizing is way way too narrow and my toes were jammed. Not comfortable at all

The leather is very hard and stiff. It was rubbing against my ankle and leg. Maybe they would break in after a while, but I found them very uncomfortable. I'm returning them.

These are super cute and great quality (especially for the price point), but they are WAY too short and narrow. I wear an 11 wide in sneakers with plenty of wiggle room, and my 11 regular Bean boots (the insulated kind where you're supposed to order your normal size) are the best-fitting shoes I own, so I figured an 11 wide would be fine in these. No such luck--they're tight on the sides of my feet, the toe box pinches, and my toes are brushing the end of the boot. (By comparison, I have close to an inch of toe space in my duck boots.) If you have narrow feet, these would probably be great; I'd exchange for a larger size if I could, but Bean doesn't offer women's sizes above 11 and doesn't have any similar men's styles, so I'm going to have to return these (not thrilled about this, as I was just at my local store to return another item from this order that arrived with a defect) and look elsewhere.

So stiff. They're going right back. If you want a comfortable shoe, don't buy these.

very pointed toe so had to size up, but now too large in the heel...great looking boot but the fit is very strange

Style was not as I expected. Were not comfortable, arch support didn't meet my needs.

These were my favorite boots up until today. We got 1 inch of snow in Montana and the leather absorbed the cold and wet snow like a sponge. My feet and cold and Miserable. I would've been better off wearing tennis shoes that would dry out quickly... these boots are definitely just for looks and not performance.

I ordered these in a 7 med as I had also got the leather slipper in a 7 med with fur in ,but when these arrived they were so narrow and uncomfortable!!! I was so dissatisfied with these they look great but aren't a med width more of a narrow

I loved the style of this boot and the color but I could not physically get my foot into the boot as I did not feel the sides had much give. I really liked them but had to return them.

I made the mistake of trying these on at the end of a very long day. When I tried them on again later, I found that the top of the toe area pressed down on my toes, and they were going to be very uncomfortable for me. I work 12-hour shifts and need comfortable shoes. They look to be well made otherwise, and a good price compared to similar styles by other manufacturers. But maybe you get what you pay for. I've returned them for a refund.

I ordered these boots based on the positive reviews. They were stiff, but I suspect that they would have softened with wear. However, they were uncomfortably tight over my instep and provided no arch support. I'm returning them.

Wow! I gave these boots a two star review only because they are cute. But these boots are not flexible at all! So very stiff! I am so disappointed in these boots!

These look so cute on but the toe box is narrow, they are very stiff and have no arch support.

I loved the look of these, but, unfortunately, the toe box or upper part of the boots was too flat, so, even though my feet are actually narrow, the boots squeezed in the toes & mid-sole & felt uncomfortable. Another disappointment is the leather was nubuck or suede - not as described. They were also stiff, not soft. I know "Bean" makes quality footwear, but if shoes aren't comfortable, they're a waste of $.

These boots are very cute and the fit seems true to size BUT.....they are very stiff and make my feet and ankles hurt....will try some stretching spray.....wish I had returned them.

Unfortunately, my size 9 feet did not fit through the extremely narrow ankle opening! Since it was designed without a zipper, I was unable to try this very cute bootie on and returned both colors. Very disappointing!

I really loved the look and style of these boots but way to narrow and had to return I do not have a wide foot. Not sure who's producing LLbean shoes but they need to find someone else as these are not the only shoes Ive had this problem with.

I really wanted to LOVE these boots. The footbed was great. Comfortable toes. The only problem was the ankle opening was not flexible enough. Walking around in the house for a few minutes, I could anticipate sore spots from rubbing over the course of a day. Real shame!
