Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trailfinder Water Resistant Hiker Low

Still evaluating the longevity of the shoe, but fit true to size out of the box and seams the perfect shoe for commuting to work during Cleveland's long winters! Warm and dry in the wet, slushy, snow. Sufficiently dressy enough to not look out of place when wearing business casual!

Ordered them online. Very nice souls. Nice look. But Run's very small. Bought for my husband for anniversary. But I had to take them back to the store to exchange sizes. And I had to pay more money for them in the store than I did online with taxes

Good shoe, not as comfortable as I had hoped but there is still time to break it in. Would be better if it was completely waterproof

Bought these a few days ago and really like the comforts so far. Had to go up 1/2 size larger than normal as they run small. Wife likes the looks of them too!

Great looking shoe. A bit stiff for everyday use but seems appropriate for hiking.

A good shoe in between a sneaker and a hiking shoe. Good support, but with some cushion as well. And it does not have in-your-face graphics of so many outdoor shoes these days. It does have a fairly small and confining toe box, so I would say it is suited to narrow-normal feet. Mine has a small bulge in a seam near where the left shoe upper joins the midsole, and which is uncomfortable - I will try to trim the edge of the insole to accommodate that.

These are great shoes. Feet stay dry walking the dogs in the wet grass. My only complaint is the same I have with many shoes and sneakers...nice, well made shoes or sneakers with a 99 cent foot-bed. I have replaced the foot-bed with a set of "Sofsole" insoles. Now they are great. I can wear 13s in some shoes, but went with 14s in these. I think it was a good choice.

a most excellent product!... for those hardcore hikers with strong flexible legs... preferring a very aggressive fast hiking style... now, climb that hill!!

This is good looking well structured shoe, but runs small.

Wore them in the rain the first weekend I got them and they seemed to work great repelling water. Seem to have great grip on the sole overall. A little stiff but should loosen up as I wear them.

Excellent quality. I've only worn 1 day. Shoes are stiff and soles are firm. I plan to use for general wear during days of inclement weather especially in winter and early spring as they are waterproof.

Nice, comfortable shoes. I wear them every day! Regards, Sam Parker

I returned the shoe and ordered others. LL Bean is the only place where I can find shoes that fit. Look at my most recent order and see the other shoes that I received today. Thank you.

Have found them quite comfortable and the waterproofing has been excellent.

Have only worn them for a short period and so far fit s good and walk is comfortable

Love the style and the fact that they're waterproof. Also comfortable nearly right out of the box. Took a day or two of commuting to break them in. I'm surprised how heavy they are relative to the running shoes I replaced with these, but on the flip side, they're sturdily built, and the soles seem nice and durable, which might explain the extra weight.

My husband loves this shoe. He wears a size 10 m, and the fit is perfect after wearing a couple of times to break them in. He is on his feet all day, so comfort means a lot, and he asked me to order another pair for him in a different color after wearing them for several days in a row. He has also had to work in the rain with these shoe, and his feet were still dry at the end of the day. I highly recommend.

Most size 12s are big for me. These are tight. Need another 1/2 size.

As others have mentioned, these shoes run short. My big toe hit the front of the shoe in my regular size when walking, so I returned them for a half size larger. The half size up are much better, but now might be a smidge big. One reviewer complained about the extra fabric on the sides of the tongue that caused discomfort where the fabric folds. I noticed this too. You do feel a little extra pressure on the top of your foot, but it doesn't bother me that much. I think the fabric is actually the Tek2 waterproof material that has been added to keep the tops of your feet dry. Otherwise, the shoes seem to be of good quality, and are sharp looking. Not sure if they're a keeper or not.

Shoe is attractive and sturdy looking but sizing doesn't make sense. Much too small. Had to return and I am hesitant to go to the next size up , which is a full , as opposed to a half size increment.

Did not fit with my orthotics. Other than that they are very attractive.
