Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Rugged Wellie Shoe Slip-On

I bought these at the end of August to take to Ireland. They served me well at first. They're REALLY comfortable and I walked between 6 and 13 miles/day in Ireland. They kept me feet very dry! I have continued to use them once I got home whenever the ground was wet or we had precipitation. Today (Nov 21st) I noticed that the upper rubber was separating along the seam from the shoe bed. I am so disappointed with them only lasting a meer 3 months! They should have lasted a lot longer! Thinking twice about buying another pair.

The shoes are very heavy and clunky. I expected them to feel lighter on my feet.

The Wellie leaks water where the elastic meets the outer shell of the boot not great for dog walking in inclement Midwest weather

Well made, suits the purpose. My only complaint is that they are very heavy.

I bought these shoes three months ago and LOVED them! I had to size down, but they were super comfortable after being broken in and perfect for morning walks when the grass was wet I had seen reviews that the rubber cracked for some and hoped that wouldn't happen with mine. I even made sure to keep these inside as much as possible so the sunlight wouldn't damage them. Unfortunately, after three months of pretty minimal use (10 minutes walks in the morning), the rubber did crack! It was small at first, but got worse to the point I was afraid to wear them. I was super sad to return these. Hoping LL Bean can use better materials for the next generation of Wellies because I would love to try another pair one day.

These were comfortable when I first tried them but after wearing for an hour or so I realized that were just too big. I wear a 9 but these were more like a 10! The heel slides up and down and my whole foot slides forward - ouch!

I bought these back in September 2023 and just tried wearing them but they are way too big for my feet, size 6, shoe was more like a 7 or 8. I gifted them to my friend who wears a 7 1/2. They are beautiful shoes and really great quality but too big for me. Bummer!!

Ordered an 8 my regular size. Fits in length and width but is big from the inside bed of the shoe to the inside top of the shoe. Have to wear 2 pair of socks, not real happy about that. A 7 would be too short

While I absolutely loved the look of these shoes, my feet are skinny and flat, so wearing my normal size didn't work for me. The length was great, but I would have needed several pairs of socks for the girth to work. I was disappointed for me, not for the product.

These shoes are darling (I got the yellow ones) and they seemed like they would be perfect, but like other Bean shoes and boots I've tried, they're too wide in the heel. I don't have that problem with any other brand. The other thing is, I wanted shoes that I could slip on without fiddling with them. These have that fabric insert, and it folds down when you slide your foot in, so I had to reach down and pull it back up. For those who wouldn't mind that, these would probably be great but they don't work for me.

Well made and good shoe for hiking in spring muddy conditions. However, the sizing is way off. They are a size bigger than listed - the toe is way too big. I've kept them but have to wear at least two heavy socks at once to be able to keep from slipping out of them.

Great waterproof shoes, but run big, loose in the heel, but fit okay when I wear thick wool socks. I'm usually a size 10 but could have gone down to a 9 1/2 if they offered half sizes. Also, shoes are quite heavy, doesn't bother me, but might others.

Super cute looking low boot. Great for wet, sloshy weather but much to heavy to walk around in. I returned them. I tried wearing them to a dog trial and was exhausted trying to walk in them. Too bad because I loved the bright yellow color

I ordered my regular size 10 but they fit like an 11 wide or larger.

run very large, I wear a 10 in sneakers but my foot fell out of these

returning mine, not true to size, my heal slips out. Too bad because I really like them!

Picked these up at the Outlet for a great price. These slip on fairly easily for a quick dash to the mail box or to take the dog out. They work for that. The fit isn't great for me. They're a little loose. My feet move around in them more than I like. The soles are substantial and I feel like I might trip sometimes. They work for what I purchased them for but I don't think I'd wear them walking any long distance.

I bought these a couple months ago and just loved them. Excellent for everything outside in rainy, wet weather. However, a couple of weeks ago, I noticed what felt like dampness in the right boot. Now it's full on wet inside that boot. I can't find any specific cuts or obvious entrance for the moisture. Disappointed for sure. A rain boot that gets wet inside is useless.

I love these shoes and I also have them in yellow. I get so many compliments on the yellow ones I have. They are comfortable and were true to size. I could wear them all day, but I try to remember it is not raining inside. I really wish you would make them in orange.

Nice boot. Fits a little snug with my llbean sock.

I wear a 81/2; the 9 was too big and did not feel the 8 would be an alternative.

This shoe is not appropriate for a long narrow foot.

Love, love, love these shoes: they are my go to shoe for river life. Unfortunately they didn't make it even a year and a half. The top started to crack and leak and the seem between the sole and upper separated. They are no longer waterproof. But I if it wasn't for that, they would be a five. I just expect LlBean to be far more durable. These are the most comfortable shoes. Several of my friends order them after they saw how cute mine were. I just wish they didn't split.

The look is great, the weight and height perfect for the rubber welly. I had to return it bc there weren't half sizes. The 9 was like a 10, and the 8 fit me if I wore no socks. I was really disappointed because they look fantastic!

I am making these work by wearing very thick socks. Unfortunately, these do not come in half sizes. I think the smaller size would just be too small.
