Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Rugged Wellie Chelsea Boots

I bought these a year ago and loved them for rainy or snowy weather. Plenty of room for wool socks when it was snowy. Unfortunately, both boots are coming apart at the seams on the outside. No longer waterproof.

Loved these boots both the look and feel. Unfortunately, after 2 months they came apart at the seem while wearing.

The seams on the side of the boots have split from the sole within a month of use. While the shoes are comfortable and cute, they are not quality.

I bought these and loved them for one season. Then one day I was walking through a wet field and they started coming apart on my feet - ripping off of the inner sole, and the rubber even cracking along the upper part. The store took the return (although they chastised me because they weren't clean -- it hadn't occurred to me to clean broken boots). I considered trying again but seeing the other reviews confirmed that it seems to be a product defect, rather than a random issue with mine. I wouldn't buy again for that reason - unfortunately, as I did like them!

I bought these in February, and my first pair cracked within a month or two. I exchanged them for a new pair, thinking the first issue was a fluke.. these sat in my closet over the summer and now I'm wearing them out in the winter to find that my second pair has split and is no longer water proof. I love how these boots look, but quality does not match the price.

These boots were cute but split at the seam within a few months. They are very poor quality which almost dissuades me from buying further shoes, boots from L L Bean.

These boots are super cute but it is so disappointing that only after a few wears the boots have begun to crack and break. There are a lot of reviews referencing the booths being hard to take on and off with no real stretch in the elastic and this is also true.

I bought these and received in mid to late September. I have worn them a handful of times, but they are splitting and leaking at the seam on both boot.

The opening of these boots is way too small. Struggled to pull them on and struggled again to get them off. Length and width are fine but too much struggling to get on and off due to small and tight opening.

My wife received these boots for a Christmas gift in 2021. She didn't wear them until fall of 2022, starting in October through November so maybe 6 times. Now we are moving into 2023 winter months and low a behold the boots are split just like the others shown. After seeing the other boots shown under the one star rating and looking at my wife's I'm looking at flaws in either the material or design of the product. It appears to being cracking where the boot should bend while walking. It's almost a fatigue failure. I would like to return these boots for a new pair. My wife likes these boots and feels that they should not have fallen apart after only wearing them a short time. Please contact me for replacement.

I bought a pair that then started cracking on the inside by the big toe and along the seam to the sole of the boot after less than a month. Exchanged for a new pair, new pair did the same thing after only a few wears. Bummed because I like the style and they are comfortable.

These boots are really cute and comfortable, but after less than 20 uses, the rubber is coming off of the shoe, and they are no longer waterproof. Disappointed that these did not last.

Super cute for fashion boots, but when used daily for work boots unfortunately they fell apart after only a few weeks.

Very disappointed. The front tab came off after a week of using them and one of the seams ripped. I am hoping that it is because the boot bought was the display shoe.

I loved these boots... until one cracked just a couple months after purchase. I am contacting customer service for a refund.

I have owned the kelp green pair of these boots for less than one year and only used them very lightly. With no incident, the rubber on the left split open rainwater now gets in. I love the look and feel of these boots, but the durability is unacceptably very poor. I would have anticipated this from a generic brand but expected more out of an LL Bean product.

I purchased these in March 2021 and was loving them up until a month ago when, in the midst of sloshing through a rainstorm, I felt my sock getting wet. Turns out the boot was separating from the sole!! I usually rely on LLBean for my outdoor gear, but unfortunately these didn't hold up.

They looked cute but literally could not get on my feet. I ordered and received the correct size but not even close. Sizing should be to standard not random.

I loved these at first, but a crack developed in the same spot on each boot after a few months. Very disappointed.

These were too big and sloppy for me. Others may love them, but didn't work.

These cracked after just 1 winter. I was expecting them to last a lot longer.

Front tab broke off when my daughter put them on for the first time. Poor quality.
