Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Storm Chaser Slip On 5 Leather

I bought these to walk my dog in the rain. My "water proof" Columbia hiking shoes are no longer water resistant and frankly spraying silicone all over them wasn't going to work very long so I settled on these after poking around for 100% waterproof shoes. I like these shoes, definitely 100% waterproof, good tread, very sturdy construction. One has to remember these are rubber tubs with leather sewn on them for flex and comfort and were designed for slogging around in snow, slush, rain, and muck. My neighborhood is very hilly, we do ~2 miles every night. The angle of the instep is good, but too high for my feet - I had to stick some 1/4 inch felt onto the inside to keep my foot from sliding forward going down hill - I've done a lot of hiking and have no interest on getting black toe from walking the dog. I thought about going to a 10.5 but my feet would be swimming in these, the 10s fit true to size. But. But they are narrower than any of my other 10D shoes. To solve that I jammed fully expanded shoe trees inside of them, hit the outside with a hair dryer for a minute or two and let them sit. That worked. Bottom line, don't plan on jogging in these unless the diameter of your ankles and size / shape of your foot is a perfect match - but I'm comfortable walking in them now, let's see how the tread holds up.

Always warm and dry. And comfortable unless you try to use them on sloping terrain. If so, laced shoes/boots would be advised. Feet slide forward in these shoes and jam your toes when walking down inclines.

The shoe fit fine

Got the shoe to pull on rather than tennis shoes or boots for quick trips outside in cold wet weather. It is perfect for what I got it for and fits well. It is actually lighter than I expected to. But, it arrived in a damaged box which said "size 10". I ordered a 12 so verified the shoe size which was correct. Also, there was a small scuff on one shoe and none of the normal expected inserts on shoe care. It appears that I received a returned shoe and not necessarily a new one. I am keeping the shoes, but have issues ordering and paying for new and receiving something a bit less.

Good product. Little tight and confining on left foot.

The fit was good, the comfort was good n it did keep my feet warm. But when I walk on grass both shoes kept slipping off my heels. Why !!

I wear normally size 12 but the 12 in these were slipping right off so went with an 11 1/2, and they are snug.... I kept them hoping they will stretch just a little bit then they'll be great

Nice looking , not a lot of cold transference through the sole, I only wish there was a 10.45 11's a little big I'm a 10.5 and I had to return those and ordered up an 11 ! I'm keeping them !

These are the perfect winter shoes to slip on and run out get the mail, take the trash to the curb or run up to the store.

They are warm and comfortable.

Looks good and feels good but a little tight in the toe area.

Secure fit and comfortable, I use it for walking my dog in the field. The size appears somewhat small, I had to order it one half size bigger.

Great Shoe, Too Narrow for me. My instep is very high making it a challenge to put these on. I'm keeping them cause I can get them on and they are perfect for their planned use. I really wish they offered this shoe with a wide option.

So far the boots are what I was looking for. They are a little wide but still get the job done!

I ware 10.5 in boot size but this shoe is a little short on my toe, other than that, good fit.

This is my third pair of Storm Chasers. The second pair finally, well almost, gave up! I ordered the new ones and was disappointed to find the Toe Box is narrower than the 2 previous pairs. I measured them. Yup 1/2" narrower. So I sent them back. But I love these storm chasers. After I returned these I glued my old ones, again, and added a wood screw to hold the outsole to the upper. And yes pray painted them black. Storm Chasers are my go-to boots for yard work, mud, rain, slippery boat ramps, canoeing, kayaking, etc.

This shoe was exactly what I was looking for. They're great for mucking out stalls. Very comfortable and easy to clean.

Good slip ons, quick trips outside

Good product. Comfortable and keep my feet dry. The shoes can be worn for an extended period. I am really disappointed that the storm chaser clogs are no longer produced. They were my favorite outdoor shoes for years!

Returned for larger size. Have heard nothing for two weeks.

Great versatile shoe. My previous pair lasted me 3-4 years until it finally starting showing obvious signs of wear. I wouldn't recommend them for a long drive in the car as your feet can become very warm given the lack of breathability. Also the tread is not optimal for ice; either buy the arctic tread or use with some microspikes. I bought a new pair in the same size (10) but they were surprisingly too snug in the toes. So I am returning to move up a half size.

Front area, foot bed, is narrow but tolerable for me. I have a narrow heel so back slips some. Overall these waterproof shoes work for me. I only use them to walk dogs in dew or rainy weather.

Great looking shoe that's fitting for outdoor chores and adventures. Original order for my normal size was too small, so opted for exchange. Replacement (1/2 size larger) is a good fit. Unfortunately charged $6.50 for exchange. I can understand a charge for return, but not exchange. Makes me wary of future online orders.

These are not true to size, at least, not for me. I've always worn a 9 1/2 and even the size 10 was too small. They're well made and seem sturdy but I returned them cuz they're sizing is rather random.

Bought these for my husband, wanted easy on and off shoes/boots as he comes in and out of the house frequently. He has a narrow foot and they fit well in that aspect, however, the heel slips a lot and he was afraid they would come off in mud, etc. We sent them back. Liked the color.
