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

In the first few months the color faded. I got them out on this rainy day only to find the fabric had cracked in the toe box. I wore them in the rain and the right foot leaked.

I returned these boots. Even wearing a heavy sock they were too wide. They were also very heavy.

Bought these in April 2022. Absolutely loved them. Very comfortable, kept my feet dry and they looked good. About ten months in, I noticed what looked like a crack stsrting on the left shoe near the widest part of my foot. Shoes were still waterproof at that point. When it got a little bigger, I took them to my local Bean store (Oak Brook, IL) I was told I was just outside the return window. I said I could understand if I simply wanted to return them, but the shoes were poor quality. No dice. I also emailed customer service and never received a reply. I continued to wear the shoes. Now they are leaking and cracking in multiple places. Last time I wore them on a dewy morning in June, I came home with soaking wet feet. I'm writing this review because although you may love them at first, you'll probably be disappointed in the longevity of these shoes.

These weighed a ton and were very hot. I returned them.

I purchased my 1st pair 12/22 and was so disappointed when the uppers and sides cracked and my feet were wet. LL Bean was great replacing them in 04/23 and today 07/23 I am returning the second "cracked" pair for refund as I have no confidence that another pair would do any better. I purchased these to work in my garden and sadly they did not do the job.

These are 1 month old and already have several cracks in them. They are not water resistant. Not worth the money.

I bought these in March for gardening and spring work on the horse farm. By the end of April the rubber was cracking on top where your toes bend and the sole was separating below this area as well. The material and design of the upper is not compatible with the heaviness of the lug sole so the whole shoe twists your ankle sideways if you step on something uneven. The sole also picks up rocks and dirt and deposits them in a trail onto the porch and mud room. I am sending them back.

I bought 2 pair of wellies 6 months ago. One for me and one for my husband. They are very comfortable. However on both pairs the upper shoe is separating from the sole not just a little but the whole length of the shoe on both sides. Also there are splits on the top of shies that go right through to the inside. You can put your finger in them. Don't waste good money on these really badly made shoes

In my experience, the quality is so poor, I recommend that you remove this product from your catalog; it is not up to the standards that we expect of L.L. Bean products. Within weeks of purchase, I noticed crease-like stress lines forming on both shoes in the upper rubber in places where the foot bends in a natural stride. By month 2, cracks had formed allowing moister from damp grass to permeate the shoe and leave my feet wet. Please note that there was no excessive wear. I purchased them to keep dry feet when walking my dogs in the early morning dew and only wore them for brief periods in a day. They were stored at room temperature.

Heel was so big I could put my entire hand in between shoe and foot. Material didn't seem substantial enough to last

Purchased these a few months ago. Loved them at first but now one of the shoes has water seeping through where the sole meets the upper. I wear them every day in the yard because its muddy and wet. I rinsed mud off of them and ever since water seeps through. Not happy.

Shoe is already falling apart. The seam is loose from the sole. I had hoped for better quality with this brand.

The reviews said the shoes ran large, I did not find that to be true . I needed a half size and it was not available they only came in whole sizes. Shoe was too tight I had to return them.

I love the look and feel but quality is very low. The top is crackling and upper separating from sole after only a couple years of limited wear. Very disappointing.

I'm upset that the website says half sizes order up. That is not correct. I'm a 7 1/2 - 8 shoe size. The 8 is way too big. When speaking on the phone with someone from LLBean she said "Oh no you have to order down a size, they run big" Why put the opposite on the website?? Now I don't have rain shoes, I am told returns are backed up for weeks AND I have to pay extra for returning them. Not happy.

I picked up these cute yellow ankle wellies to see the tulips in Holland this spring. They were incredibly comfortable and I received many compliments. This morning, after less than a month of light wear, about 2-3 a week, I noticed both shoes now have cracks where they bend at the ball of your feet. I will need to return them and trade in for a different type of more durable waterproof footwear. Im very sad to write this review.
