I love the style and feel, the only thing I didn't really care for was these are a little on the heavy side. Besides that, I like these shoes.

Good quality. Size runs a bit small... But otherwise a very nice shoe!

Very well made shoes that fit perfectly. Handsome leather uppers make them suitable for the office as well as the trail. Highly recommended!

Loved the look, but it was too small. Sent them back and requested the next larger size, but they were not available. Was issued a refund. Totally bummed!

These are without doubt the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. I own three pairs: one for daily use, one for the gym, and a third pair that I bought frankly in case LL Bean were to change or discontinue these. I want to be sure to have these to wear for many years to come.

These sneakers are awesome for walking my dog in our neighborhood and playing with him in the backyard. They are sturdy, but lightweight and very comfortable. They are also warm and waterproof - which is a life saver. I live in the northeast. We have a lot of rain and snow. So walking my dog means that I end up traipsing through wet grass (up the reservoir), navigating puddles and slopping through slush and snow. Hats off to LL Bean as these sneakers meet all those needs! (Plus, my wife thinks they look great on me. Bonus!)

I bought these shoes about a month ago and they are great. the size was perfect. They are the best sneaker I have. a little pricy but well worth the cost.

I originally gave the shoes five stars after brief wearing. After a full season of wearing, I continue to give a five-star rating. Excellent for around the yard and field wear. Great traction. The historic drought has prevented serious wet weather testing, but heavy dew is easily repelled, keeping feet dry. Great shoe.

I took these shoes on a 2 week trip to Europe that included traversing packed down snow on a mountain top, winding roads to castles in the hills, city walking, Oktoberfest, airports, trains and walking trails. Very comfortable, just bought another pair!

After just a month of wearing, these hiking shoes are very comfortable. I was looking for just such a medium weight hiker with waterproofing. They are not as light as a running shoe, but these are hikers and are a lot lighter than my trusty old Vasque sky walkers. I've yet to test them in truly wet conditions, but they have stayed dry in very wet grass. The fit is good (I have graduated to a size 14!), and the medium width is perfect. I recommend them.

Great shoes! I bought these shoes for a trip to Ireland and Scotland. I did some mountain hiking and a lot of city walking. These shoes were great overall. I specifically wanted them for the waterproof aspect. They were great hiking up mountains and they were comfortable enough to wear when walking around the city. The other nice thing is they are stylish enough to wear to a restaurant without looking like "hiking" shoes. They fit well and keep your feet dry.

I'm a 67 year old male. I walk between 12-15 miles a week. After going through many "name brand" athletic shoes, I decided to try a hiking shoe that looks like an athletic shoe. I'm very satisfied with these LL Bean hiking shoes. They're well made. Comfortable and good looking.

These all-leather shoes are beautiful and like most Bean products, made to endure. Unfortunately Bean doesn't offer them in wide sizes. I ordered an 11-1/2 hoping it would fit my 11EE foot. No such luck. I returned them.

After all the careful consideration, comparisons, and in-store fittings, I felt compelled to share my thoughts with future shoe shoppers.
I initially filtered by width because I need wide shoes. But the look of these hikers drew me in! They are suitable for shorts, denim, khakis, AND they match my L.L.Bean quilted riding jacket. All that coupled with L.L.Bean's quality (each piece is an enduring investment to be sure) meant that I had to find a store to see how they fit.
I'm a 9.5 wide and bought these in 10 regular. This shoe's width is MORE than adequate for my Flinstone feet. My toes needed more length, so I went with a half-size up. The inside corners of the toungues required breaking in (I am satisfied after simply bending the leather away from my ankle for a short time). While the factory insoles are impressively supportive, I was able to easily swap out my preferred insoles without a problem.
Overall, I am EXTREMELY satisfied with my purchase. I needed to upgrade from my summer sneakers to a shoe that would feel supportive and dry on long city walks while also remaining stable and east-to-clean after countryside strolls. These fit the bill!
Bonus: I won't need to pack gym sneakers for my trips. I've been testing these out on the treadmill, bike, and elliptical. These are sneaker-like hikers...SN-IKERS!

Bought these for a two week guided tour/trip to Ireland - wanted a pair for light hiking, daily walking, and rainy weather. Tried on many different shoes. These by far felt the best. Will let you know how they actually did after the trip.

I normally take 7 1/2, but in this shoe the eight was right. First time that's happened. The sales person said that might be because of the waterproof lining, which takes up some of the interior room.
