Item pictures are incorrect and deceptive. These are not olive colored, not insulated as shown. Additionally, came with a rusting rivet out of the box. Bad bad bad. Will return but what a pain.

I'm really happy with the boots! Very warm, decently priced, and made in USA. I'm an avid leather boots collector and it's a fine addition.

I've wanted a pair of these boots for a long time. I haven't worn them for any length of time yet, because it's been in the 90s and dry, and they're insulated. But they felt great when I tried them on. I usually wear a narrow, when I can find one, but D was the narrowest option for this boot, so I figured I could wear two pairs of socks if I need to. But I won't, because they run a little to the narrow side. The 12D fit me perfectly.

Take the L and walk about a 1/2 mile to get to work. These boots have kept my feet warm and dry this Chicago winter

Love these boots. I wear a size 9.5 shoe, but ended up getting these in the 8 and have plenty of room left for thick socks. The utility is spot on with the classic bean boot look and aesthetic.

Being a woman, I wear a woman's size 13N or men's 11N. There are very few choices in women's shoes and not many narrow men's shoes so was thrilled to see these in a narrow. They fit beautifully, are comfortable and have good arch support. Love, love these boots!

These appear as well made as the 30+ year old 6" Bean Boots I'm finally having to replace. But having to return them for size. The size chart recommendation for this Thinsulate version with heavy socks was to go up from my 10-1/2 foot to a size 11; but this is about 1.5 sizes too big in practice. I'll probably try a size 10 next. Too bad they closed the LL Bean store in Northern Virginia.

Just received my boots and the first thing that impressed me was the quality. They're simple and perfect in every way; fitting and stitching is on spot. These are heavy duty boots meant for use and abuse. They're very comfortable and warm. I wear 10.5 in sneakers and a size 9 fits me perfectly. If in doubt, just order a smaller size.

I love these! They do run pretty big, usually I'm 11 but got a 10 in these and they fit perfectly. Originally ordered 11 and the return process was shockingly easy.

First boot purchase from LL bean. Very happy so far. I wear size 13/14 showers and read all reviews to size down. Purchased size 12. Perfect fit. Really good with think winter sock. Hopefully will not need another pair but wouldn't hesitate to buy again

A replacement for the same pair from many years ago that our son loves. The treads were going away. Nice and warm on the feet in snowy weather.

The boots are comfortable and made of good material. They were structured by hands of an individual with precise workmanship with the potential customer in mind.

I have to leave a review as the reviews currently here made me skeptical on ordering. These arrived early and were the correct boots - the tan color in the pictures and they had the thinsulate (note the thinsulate boots only have the liner at the bottom of the boot). Bought these for my husband and they fit (remember to size down, and size down 1.5 sizes if a half size) and kept him warm. Also were In stock where LL Bean was out of stock!

Fit was perfect. I ordered the thinsulate model and that is what I received. The boots arrived two days earlier than projected when I ordered them, about 48 hours in total from order to delivery. Great company, super communication and the LL Bean boots are really well made. The fact that they are handmade in Maine, from premium materials, is very reassuring. From past experience these boots should last decades and look great doing it.

I have four pair for various seasons of the year. The eight inch version with Thinsulate has become my everyday boot in cold weather. I wear them with Bean rag wool socks and find this combination to be the warmest footwear I have. Follow the sizing instructions and you will be completely satisfied.

these replace a well loved, 12 year old pair - upgraded to thinsulate w a nod to Buffalo winters. Nice fit & only a few days of *breaking in* needed
