Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Snow Sneaker 5 Ankle Boot Water Resistant Insulated Pull-On

In order to get this shoe on, I had to run the fingers of both hands around the entire circumference of where my foot entered the shoe. Although I have a narrow foot, this required a lot of strength and also the material is so soft I had to keep doing it until my foot was fully inserted.

I have hard-to-fit feet (one foot almost a size larger than the other and in-between widths). Also, my feet are flat. Therefore, I wear orthotics, which have to fit inside the shoes comfortably. None of the shoes I buy feel comfortable at first. These seem to work more or less.

Once I get the shoe on it's very comfortable, however the top part is stiff and narrow and it very difficult to get on. I'm hoping it will loosen up with usage.

The boots fit well and are easy to slip on and easy to slip off. They are not water proof--they are water resistant--not suitable for walking in water.

i broke my left foot years ago. i cannot get my left foot into this boot.

I wanted to love these but I have a bunion and I ordered the wide in my size and they are too big and clunky. Not a full size too long but a half. They are not that hard to slip on but I would have gotten the buckles if that model wasn't sold out, so that I could tighten them so my foot does move around in the shoe.

Comfortable once on my foot but difficult to get on. Returned them

These boots are fairly comfortable, but are very difficult to put on. I bought a wider shoe to accommodate an extra pair of socks, and it fit, but more snugly than I thought it would.

I purchased these in a wide size-could not even fit my feet into the boot-hole was too small to accommodate my feet-even after stretching opening. This is not the first time I have attempted to purchase lovely boots, but always a no go.

Initial impression is that they look big and bulky. I came back online to check the sizing to ensure that I did not order a wide. The boots are comfortable and certainly wide enough to wear a thick sock.

I should have listened to the other raters... the snow sneakers are terrific when you get them on, but getting into them is quite an ordeal, even with a shoehorn. I can't say they are too narrow, since the fit is just fine once they are on my feet [the length is not an issue either]... but i can work up a sweat trying to put them on!!! i can't satisfy your requirements on the questions so i guess i can not share my evaluation.

I had no difficulty getting my feet into the boots, but they ran at LEAST a half size small. To use my Bean Bucks again, I had to wait until the return was received by LLB, but by then I had already left for my winter trip. I hate that policy, and it makes no sense.

Very nice boot once you can get your foot into it. Very difficult to get on. In fact I couldnt get one foot in. Had to return. True to size & comfort if you can get it on. I bought a 9 wide

I returned these snow sneakers because I was unable to get them on. The collar would not accommodate the width of my foot. Since I was unable to put these on I cannot rate the size.

Did not fit. I had to return. could-not find my size

Wore them for the 1st time this week and they were surprisingly comfortable. Looks like there is no need to break them in. Looking forward to wearing them when it gets very cold and wet outside.

Not impressed really. I like the slip on convenience. But that is about it

I tried to purchase a shoe similar to one I purchased a few year ago from LL Bean. That shoe was no longer available. The CS Rep was good in finding something similar, but when the shoes arrived, they proved to be very bad. Only a pull loop in the back, making it difficult to put on. Also too tight and cramped. Had to return the shoes.no good alternative available.

I love my snow sneakers! Keeps my feet toasty warm and feels like wearing a shoe not so much a boot. Good traction on wet pavement. And are actually attractive with jeans. I have a narrow heal and I like that they dont slip however a wide foot will find it more difficult to get on.

Snow sneakers were returned. They weee difficult to get on due to rigid sides around the ankle. They did not slip on easily.
