Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Rugged Wellie Chelsea Boots

For some reason that I don't understand, LLBean products runs SO BIG. Returned them and no smaller size is made. Size 6 fits like Size 7.

Boot is designe for people in a fit conditon and will not fit people with larger ankles.

These boots were my saving grace this winter/spring, but I had them less than 6 months before both boots cracked. Looks like this is a common problem, but I'm so sad because I loved them so much!

I could not get my feet into these boots. I ordered my usual size, but if a wider width would have been available, perhaps it might have been useful.

I had been looking for a pair of wet weather boots to wear and really liked the look of the Wellies. I just wore them for the first time the other day. We parked in a municipal lot & had to walk to the restaurant. Well, by they time I got there my ankles were killing me! I didn't realize that the rubbing would be so bad. I just about wanted to walk back to the car in my socks after dinner it was so painful. The next day my daughter noticed marks on my ankles where the boots rubbed them. Unfortunately I can't imagine wearing them again because if I wear I thick high sock I won't be able to get them on or off!

I love these boots however only having them a month or two the bottom is tearing from the sole? Would this be able to be fixed ?

Sadly I had to return these very handsome rain/weather boots for the fit being too small, thus the 3 star rating. Loved the green color and the general felt if the boots before trying them on. I also want to commend LL Bean for making the return painless.

Bought these in Black and they are a great stylish boot. They do not keep your toes warm so dont by them for warmth. I wear them on wet or light snow days

I was disappointed that the top of these boots cracked within just a few months of wearing them occasionally. They are comfortable and seemed sturdy at first but I see there are many other reviews with similar issues. I hope L.L. Bean fixes this defect. I will return.

These boots only lasted a few months and I don't wear them every day. Both boots have cracked on top where my foot bends. Other than that, they were very comfortable, so if you don't care if they last, they're fine.

These boots are great for spring, fall and mild winter weather, but I've had them for less than a year and the outer rubber is cracking on both boots. I would expect cheaper boots to do this, and I'm disappointed these boots didn't even last a year.

Comfortable but not easy to get on/offI wish there was a way to engineer these to be easy on, easy off. Can wear them all day, theyre very comfortable.

Havent had these boots for a year and they have torn where they crease when you walk and come apart where the rubber meets the sole. So disappointing because these are something I wear everyday.

Size 6.5 foot, size 7 boot was way too large. Returned.

I received these as an unexpected Christmas gift and I love them! At first worried when I saw the size 6, as I usually wear 6.5. They fit perfectly. I can pull on with or without regular socks. They are super comfortable and I have taken to wearing them everyday, even though there's no mud! The rubber is flexible, the sole sturdy. I live in a rural mountain location. They are extremely functional but look great for town too! Great LL Bean quality. I am very grateful for this gift.

I loved these boots but I only wore them for a couple of months. They came apart at the seam where the top meets the sole. The rubber on top also began to crack on both making them not so waterproof.

These boot are great everywhere and every day boots. I walked all over Ireland and England with these boots and never once got a blister.

I looooved these boots when I ordered them. They looked so so nice on and I adored the clink ones of the sole. It was a unique touch for a Chelsea boot. Literally everything about this boot was perfect for about 3 months. I wore them twice a week in that period and by 3 months I noticed a crack developing in one of the boots. And suddenly the crack, which is aligned with where my toes connect to my foot and so where a lot of bending happens, turned into a split. And then I noticed the fabric lining inside at the heels was ripped from wear. After owning a pair of hunter rain boots, which I switched from after 4 years because THEY split, I'm really disappointed. I know the price is very different, but for a rugged llbean boot I expected a whole lot more durability.

They are not easy to put on without sitting down in a chair and having some tool to tug the tabs on the front and back up onto your foot. I had a total right hip replacement so man not very flexible and these are hard to get on.

i returned these because they were too narrow and I would not be able to wear regular socks, only very thin socks

They are heavy and not great for long walks. I took mine to Europe because I knew it was going to rain and let me tell you it was so painful to wear after a while I ended up wear sandals with rain pouring down because I couldn't take it anymore, Also my mistake but I had cuts on my ankles because I didn't wear high socks, so the shoe rubbed on me.
