Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boothbay Sandal Slide

These sandals are very comfortable, easy on/off, and I love the color. They cushion the feet when you walk for a more comfortable walking experience.

Comfortable foot bed. Appear to be well made. I have narrow feet. I always look for the reviews that say the shoe is too narrow and those are the shoes I buy. I noted several reviews stating these slides run narrow. I find these run wider than a typical medium width. Extremely floppy on my skinny feet. Little disappointed my strategy didn't work this time! I will keep them, but will only be able to use them for casual wear. They don't fit well enough for regular wear. (I used my coupons to purchase them, if I'd paid full price, I would have to send them back!)

I bought the 'next size up' as recommended. I bought size 9 slippers the same day-they fit great. The size 10 sandals were way too small. They look nice and well made, but I returned them.

The top strap should have been higher and perhaps adjustable. It is not a snug and secure fit.

I really liked these, but the straps were too tight across my foot and not adjustable. My feet are not really wide or puffy. The length was good. They are nice looking.

I generally do not shy away from reviews that indicate a shoe is too narrow as I often find size 11 shoes are disproportionately wide. When I took these out of the box I thought they had given me the wrong size as they looked like a size 10. I have a medium width foot, but this shoe was too narrow and slightly short. I have bought other Bean shoes that ran narrow and had no problems. Otherwise, they seemed well made and had good cushion.

Very comfortable sandals that don't slip on my feet.

Gave a 4 star because I did have to get a different size. I am a 7 but ended up with an 8. These are very comfortable the straps loosened up just enough to not cause discomfort I felt when I first put them on. I usually get wide sandals because of arthritic toe over-growth but I am good with these. Very Pleased. Extremely fast shipping even with COVID-19 - the return took a long time to appear on credit card

I love the fully strapped down version of this for my daily walks as it gives such good support. But I was in need of replacing a pair of slides that I wear around the house and on quick trips to run errands. Was excited to see my favorite sandal in this version and it fits with the same support and comfort. My only complaint is the awful smell from the off-gassing of the material used in the sole. It has sat in my garage for weeks and still smells too strongly to bring into the house. I've noticed this on other shoes from other companies but generally it doesn't take this long for it to quit smelling.

My only change would be to add velcro across the straps so it can be more adjustable. Somewhat snug across my toes.

When I put these on and walked around the room, I thought they were exactly what I needed. The sole was supportive and very (very!) comfortable. I have high arches though, and when I wore them for the first time though, the straps were too tight across my arch. They're not adjustable and after 10 minutes of walking they rubbed the tops of my foot uncomfortably. If these had Velcro to adjust the top straps, I'd buy them again the sole is wonderful and they seem very durable. But the arch strap is too tight for me.

Many years ago I had a pair of leather Boothbay sandals which were comfy & lasted for a decade. The purple slides are okay but nowhere near those long ago sandals in comfort, durability and fit. I wear a size 8 1/2, so I ordered a 9 as per recommendations. The slides are larger/longer than ideal for me and very stiff. Still, the sale price, the cost to return them & wearing them only at home make it easy to decide - they're keepers. Hope they soften up!

I agree with other that the sole comfortable but the straps are not. I never order a wide or size up so it didn't occur to me, but I would recommend that with these. The webbing /straps are very stiff and they are closer to the toe, more like a flip flop than a sandal. I hope this can be broken in a bit; otherwise I will have to give them away.

The sole is very comfortable but the opening is far too narrow. If I could get my foot past the opening easily these would probably be my go-to summer shoes. I keep giving it a try to see if it will stretch but I fear these might never

Got a 10 was to narrow a bit small got 11 right fit but too snug.

I like the way these look but not loving the fit for me. They don't want to stay lined up straight with my feet; they skew sideways a little. So I wouldn't want to walk a lot in them, but kept them for something I could just slip on quickly for around the house and yard. I usually only wear sandals with back straps and I guess I now know why because these also always feel like they are going to fall off my feet.

I bought these initially for everyday use. The memory foam is super cushiony and super comfortable. Unfortunately the "straps" are made of some kind of hard plastic which digs into the top of my feet. The fact they are waterproof will make them good for pool and beach trips.

Still not sure about these. I wanted slip on sandals but it feels like the left is wider than the right. I am going to wear them for a while and see.

I bought the cement color (tan) in size 8. There were a lot of reviews stating that these are too narrow, which is what I look for in reviews because I have trouble finding narrow shoes for my narrow feet. These were strangely way too wide and I returned them wondering if I had especially narrow feet, or if the sizing is "off" in this style. Before posting this review I noticed another review that stated she had bought two pairs of this sandal in the same size, just different colors. Her blue pair fit perfectly, but the black pair was too narrow, so it looks the sizing is off on this particular sandal.

Absolutely order the next size up. Unless your feet are very narrow, you'll need the next size for comfort. Have sprayed the straps with water to loosen them a little - helps but not much. Otherwise, well made & good looking - just runs very small.

Had to return them as they were very large. As recommended, I ordered the next size up as I wear a half size. Too big. While at the store I tried the size smaller and found them to be very wide. Too bad as they seemed like they would have been comfortable if they fit.

Like the looks, but straps hit my foot wrong and my foot slides around.

My feet are thin and an average width, but these sandals are VERY tight, and no way to adjust them.

Should have returned them. Have a place on my foot from shoes! Can't wear them!

I bought a half size up and I couldn't get my feet in them. The upper was just too tight! The width and length were fine, it was the heighth that was the problem -
