Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Alpine Hiking Sneaker Leather

I'm quite happy with these. I was looking for a walking/hiking shoe for weather too cold for ventilated shoes. I've now tested these from 0 to 40 with bare ground or light snow cover, and they were comfortable. Half an hour shoveling in -10 with heavy socks also went okay. The lower heel gives me flexibility on uneven walking surfaces that is lacking in a higher boot. Shipping with an extra pair of laces was a nice touch.

My husband said they aren't heavy, warm, and comfortable. Just hoping water proof like they say.

I purchased these to replace some other brand boots that I returned. These are so much better. Very comfortable and water proof. Worn them in the rain and on walks through puddles. They feel like athletic shoes. I would highly recommend.

Quality workmanship and good looks. Very Supportive and comfortable. Appreciate the two pairs of shoelaces. Size 12 fits great - wear daily when taking dog out for walks on gravel roads and in the woods.

These are amazing hiking boots! They fit and feel great. I only had to wear them a couple times before they were broken in. The boots give you a ton of support and traction going through tough terrain and are waterproof through puddles. I wore them on a hiking trip to New River Gorge National Park and they were awesome, especially through the rocky and slippery terrain on some of the trails. Would absolutely recommend these to anyone!

Comfortable and easy walking. Water proof too. Great price and great name

My husband ordered these and since has been wearing every Day very comfortable

Amazingly comfortable. Great appearance and A 1 craftsmanship!

I get 4 to 5 years of service from the shoes I purchase from LL Bean. It's been consistent over many years. They are good looking and very comfortable!!!

I purchased my boots in feb. 2021 and have been wearing this pair 5 days a week since then. I work mostly on concrete surfaces and even do some welding and torching with them, after a year and a half the soles are finally starting to get thin, but they are still very comfortable. the only issue I've had was needing to reglue the toe kick since they're wearing thin. these boots are serving me well, they harken back to the Bean quality sold in the early 90's . I hope to get another pair shortly.

I've been wearing these since Spring and they're very comfortable. I don't understand why people are experiencing eyelet problems. I've pulled on the laces hard and have had zero problems.

This is the second purchase of this hiking boot for me. It has the lofty distinction of being one of the very few new shoes that I could put on, walk out the door, and be comfortable all day the first time I wore them. I am still using the first pair (3 years old) for yard work and other dirty activity. The new ones are my everyday footwear and I am pleased with them .

Best hiking boot ever. Feels like a shoe. I use them for landscaping & Lawncare and they are insanely waterproof. Even on the most wet days I never have a problem. Comfortable out the box. Buy these! I hope they never discontinue them.

A very comfortable boot. No need to be broken in, fit well from the first wearing.

Best hiking boot I have owned, great fit and the most comfortable shoe I have owned. No problems with eyelets with my boots either. I'm going to buy another before discontinue them so I will have anther pair.

great boots!, accurate sizing as well. very similar to my danner mountain 600 boots, but a little more stiff.

So far i really like them very cofortable, and so far have held up to the waterproof standard

I have very wide feet and wanted to get a pair of hiking boots that would be for backpacking and longer hikes, these are perfect. Im usually a womens size 9 1/2 and i got a mens 8

I needed to buy a pair of boots last minute for a trip, tested a few different ones: la sportiva, keens, Salomons and while they are all great none was 100 percent comfortable. Drove to LL Bean in Paramus, where I got these. Very comfortable, so comfortable that I was worried they would not perform well hiking. Well I can say that is not the case. I have just done the Yosemite Upper Falls trail, with snow and ice, used micro spikes on them, and they performed admirably, very warm , comfortable and grippy even without the spikes . Their waterproofing worked great, even getting some snow in them did not soak my feet, did not use gaiters, I have even sank my foot into a river while crossing and it did not totally soak them. Then , days later I was at Joshua Tree National park climbing rocks in the desert and they were - again comfortable , grippy and kept the sand out of my feet. I hope I do not have the issues folks complained here with the shoelace hooks coming off. As a final note the outside material is already quite scratched and dinged and my feet did get very smelly in them, but I think that is expected and totally fine for the performance it delivered - I was a surprised I could just hike in them from the get go with no need to break in!

Great fitting, very comfortable, light weight these are some of the best hiking boots available. I would recommend to anyone.

Most comfortable boot I've ever tried, they were well they keep my feet warm so I bought another pair one for work one for home

Great fitting boot. Very comfortable and warm. Love them

What a great shoe/ boot! Comfortable right out of the box. On my feet outside all day, and sometime when I get home I forget I have them on!!

I bought these for my son. He said they are very comfortable.
