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

I bought these shoes last August to wear walking the dog in rainy weather. I don't wear them often, but by November , the upper shoe was cracking (so no longer good for the rain). I buy a lot from LLB and hate complaining, but I put them on yesterday to find the upper shoe pulling away from the sole. I was looking at rain boots to replace them, and saw the same style. I won't be replacing my leaky shoes with the same.

They were a little big. They are heavy shoes when lifting your feet.

I purchased the yellow Wellies at the beginning of the summer and in August cracks appeared on the top of one shoe. I am 87 and only used them to walk down my driveway about twice a week.

Received these shoes early May. They were used for walking my dog and working in the garden. Very disappointed 3 1/2 months later both shoes cracked across the top. In one of the past reviews a customer had the same problem. They have been returned still waiting for my refund.

I ordered a 9 and it was huge, I have returned them. Also, this am extremely heavy boot

The shoes were way too large and I had to return them. L.L.Bean kept $12 even though they were only supposed to keep $6. I will never order from them again.

I purchased these wellie shoes for an upcoming trip but when I received them, I was shocked by how much they weigh. They are not designed for distance walking and certainly not good for packing in a suitcase. I noticed for some other shoes, LL Bean shows the weight of the shoe, but in this case they did not. It would have been helpful to know before ordering. These will be returned.

I bought a pair of the Wellie just over 6 weeks ago and they have already cracked and are leaking.

Boot is clunky.. Mud and grass stick between treads.

Shoes are very heavy and run very large. They are very water resistant.

I loved these shoes at first. They felt great, looked good, and were waterproof. Unfortunately the uppers cracked I was able to return them, which I appreciated.

Loved the look of these rain boots- but they were too wide for my foot. I stepped out of the heel with every stride. Had to return.

I like these a lot for gardening, short walks when it's wet, and quick trips from the house to the compost bin, however in less than 6 months, the rubber uppers have cracked at the toe and ball of my foot, and I can no longer trust that my feet won't get wet when I wear them.

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.
