Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Hiker 4 Ventilated Low

Awesome shoes! Very comfortable, diabetic with neuropathy, well made and have out lasted any other shoe I have had. I wear them almost every day.

I bought these ventilated trail hiking shoes for the warm weather months where I live in the desert southwest. I was looking for a good walking shoe that is cool and light weight. They are very comfortable and appear to be well made plus there was no break period. I have wide feet so getting a proper fit was a big concern. I followed the sizing guidelines and ordered 10.5 EE. The shoes fit me perfectly and are true to size. I highly recommend these shoes.

The moment I put on these hiking shoes, felt perfect in every way. So good, purchased a pair llbean running shoes which are 5 .+. as well, so comfy I forget I'm even wearing them.

I've had this pair for four year and they've worked well. Been my "go to" shoe most days.

My husband loves the shoes. The fit is perfect. Please don't ever stop making them

I honestly think LLBean produced the perfect light trail shoe in the Model 4. Sturdy and well-built, light weight, breathable, and nicely cushioned for all day on the trail. Priced as a great value to boot. I switched from a trail running sneaker for light hiking to the Model 4 and will never look back.

This is my second pair. I must walk a lot where I live. These sneakers help me.

Very pleased with these shoes. However, they are just a little too wide in the heal.

As soon as I slipped these shoes on I knew that I was going to love them. They felt completely worn in and totally comfortable. And, of course, being LL Bean, the quality is second to none, I know this because I've been buying their products for years and haven't been sorry yet. Two thumbs up!!

I found the shoe to be very comfortable, waterproof and simply a joy to walk in. It definitely beats tennis shoes if you have snow or rain or mud that you might encounter while walking.

Took a little time to break the shoes in and get used to them, but once over that hump, I can say I love them.

Sturdy & capable of gem3 thru this snowy & icy terrain. I am impressed that the salt did not affect my shoes at all. They wear true to size. They wear great . Oh, and my feet didn't get wet.

They are comfortable and feel sturdy, I'm happy I purchased the sneakers

Excellent comfort and quality. From day one and throughout a 10 day trip including walking 5 - 7 miles /day all within 2 week of receiving theses hiking shoes. For someone who has extremely wide feet, high instep and needs arch support.

My husband is very pleased with his purchase. Good value and good fit.

Very good quality, large selection, timely delivery.

I'm 75 and hike 2 miles a day on dirt trails near my cabin. This is my second pair of these hiking shoes. They are nice looking but the key is, the wel[-designed tread keeps me securely grounded and there is no slipping and thus injuries are very unlikely. I like that aspect.

I have had at least four pair of these shoes over the last several years. They are my go-to shoes in summer, in winter, in spring, and in fall. And yes, I live in Minnesota. I will continue to buy them as long as L.L. Bean continues to make them the same way. Because they fit my feet. It's just that simple. OK, I have odd feet and I require an insole that supports my arches. The insole that comes with these shoes will not support my arches, so I buy third-party insoles. I have to do that for all my shoes. My wife asked, possibly exasperated, if I would wear these shoes to a formal gathering, like a wedding or a funeral. I said I might have to paint them black. :-)

I'm very pleased with the hiking shoes and the fit was perfect

I have purchased 8 pairs of Columbia Lakeview II hiking shoes over the past 5 years and I loved them! They changed the style, so I looked elsewhere and found these L.L.Beans. I've been wearing these for nearly two months and these are WAY better than the Columbia! Seems to be better construction and extremely comfortable! Seem to be wearing well too!

These shoes for my husband were the "foot star" of our trip to Copenhagen, northern Norway, Iceland, Scotland and Germany this summer. Great fit, comfortable right out of the box, liked the wider width for his widening senior citizen foot, warm for the colder locations, excellent purchase.

Very comfortable and they wear well. True to size (12D), and I buy another pair to have on hand when they go on sale.

This is my 3rd pair I'm retired and walk 8-10,000 steps every day with my dogs they are comfortable and wear nice I have the winter waterproof ones I wear in the wet winter weather also I recommend them

I bought my first pair of this model 4 years ago and I loved them then and my new ones are exactly the same. Great shoe!
