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

Really liked these. Comfortable. However, early on the soles started coming apart from the body of the shoe. Disappointing to say the least.

They run large.i'll need to find some kind of insert.otherwise too large and uncomfortable to wear.

Sadly I had to return these Wellies. The shoe only comes in whole sizes so I tried a size smaller at my local store because they didn't have my size and then walked around the store in them. They seemed alright, but as I walked around inside at home, I could see that my toes were squeezed and would not be comfortable long term. The associate at the store confirmed what I had read about them that sometimes the normal size might be too big and loose in the heel.

Exactly what I was looking for but the size was odd. I carefully read reviews before placing my order and decided to go with size 6 although I usually wear 6.5. For some reason I could walk out of the right shoe even with thicker socks. Sadly, I returned them.

I was looking for an easy-to-slip-on shorter Wellie that I could wear while gardening and doing light chores. These shoes are cute, but run large. There is no ankle support, so if you're not on completely flat ground, it's easy to turn an ankle. Also, the tread holds on to gravel, so not practical if you work in an area with a lot of gravel surfaces.

They are comfortable and true to size (8) but are peeling and color changing.

I purchased a pair of these boots a year ago and after less than a year a tear developed right across the top of one of them. I was able to return them for another pair. Now after wearing the new pair only a few times the toe area of my socks on one foot gets completely wet after walking in the rain or wet grass, so there is definitely a leak in the fabric. I am very disappointed because the boots are otherwise very cute.

These shoes looked so cute online, but they aren't 'cute' in person. They are Large & Heavy! I returned them with no problem. LL Bean is a great company to deal with!!

I really wish I could give a higher rating. They are so comfortable and practical, but unfortunately don't last. I'm on my third pair, having to return the first two for poor quality. The first pair split along the seam at the sole almost immediately, leaking water and leaving one foot wet. The second pair cracked and split along the top of the shoe, again leaking water within just a couple of months of average wear. Very disappointing, but glad for the return policy.

The size 6 fits like a 7. If you're a true 6, you're out of luck.

I purchased these in summer of 2022; used the shoes for a couple of months; then they sat in the house over the winter months, unused. This spring, when I pulled them out and happened to get my foot slightly wet in a stream and when washing the car, discovered that the left shoe has a leak. Will be returning them as I'm in the one year window. Can only hope it was a one-off issue with construction of the shoe since the right one does not absorb water.

I loved these boots when I got them. But only a few months in, they started leaking. The seam to the sole came undone and rubber on the top is cracking. Disappointed in the quality to say the least.

First off, I love the look of these shoes. They're comfortable too. I just wish they were durable. Purchased a pair in February 2022 and they are cracked and pulling apart along the bottom. I only wore them to go shopping maybe twice a week, if that. Very disappointed in this LLBean shoe.

I was very excited to receive these shoes. They were exactly what I was needing. But like so many others have reported, I simply could not stop my heel from slipping. I ordered my usual size 8 and the length and toe area was perfect. But the heel area is so wide that even with orthotics and thick socks my heel slipped up with every step. So disappointed to have to return them.

These rain shoes seemed well made but rather overpriced. Although I do normally take a size 10, these size 10's turned out to be way too big. I had to return them and was charged a return fee of $8.95. This really seemed very unreasonable to me, as clearly purchasing shoes online and getting a good, comfortable fit, is a very difficult thing to do. These rubber, rain, shoes were nearly $90.00. Personally, LL Bean Inc. will not get my business again because of their chiseling, return fee policy for shoes.

I bought these in April of 2024. I have worn them about five days a month since then. They have developed a crack across the top which goes all the way through. And because they're older than a year I cannot return or exchange them. Terrible quality, so not what I expect from Bean.

I bought these a little over a year ago and loved them for walking in the woods in wet weather. They were very comfortable. Unfortunately they started cracking and leaking before I even had them a year. So disappointed.

Leaks. I've had to bring back 3 pairs - uppers come apart from the soles. I don't even use them on rugged terrain- just walking on a grass and dirt dog path. Even with dew on the grass water gets in between the inner sole and the sole. Have to take the inner sole out. Useless. So disappointing.

Only bad product I ever purchased from LL Bean. The uppers both cracked in less than a year. Also, the rubber soles are absolutely treacherous in rain and snow -- the very weather one would choose to wear them. And small stones constantly get stuck in the poorly designed tread.

Do not buy these. Huge disappointment. They run bug and slide around to the point where I'm constantly rolling my ankles. I bought them the week of July fourth and within just a few uses were cracking and water getting in them. After just two months of use they are totaled and I have to throw them away. $100 down the drain.

Bought and used less than 8 months and cracked so badly they're unwearable. Disappointing because I had higher hopes for lasting quality and I hate creating unnecessary waste.

I bought these at the end of May in the Danbury, Ct store. They are perfect except they started to crack within a month. The other shoe is now cracked and the sole of one is separated from the main body. Why is this shoe still being offered for sale. Very angry

I bought these not used heavy and they cracked and soul makes a squishy sound

I wear only in my yard during heavy dew or rain; the rubber material cracked in several places allowing moisture to enter shoe box. I ordered two pairs and haven't used second pair yet. Worthless product. Definitely disappointed in the purchase.

I bought these a year ago. They are too high with the heal and unstable. Too wide also making them sloppy side to side. Occasionally I would roll my ankle. Now I just rolled my foot gardening and broke a bone in my foot. It's a bad break with months of recovery. The idea was great but poor design.
