Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Elevation Trail Runner Vent

The shoes are comfortable and supportive. However, each time I've worn them in the midwestern woods (at least 3 times) on a variety of trail types, I've eaten it if the ground was the least bit damp. Anywhere from a little slip to a full out tumble. A little bit of mud, dew or light rain on a gravel path, wet rocks, etc. and not only do they offer no grip, they are slick as snot. I don't trust the shoes to keep me safe, and worry that I'll injure myself wearing them hiking. So, great on even surfaces with some texture, such as side walks. But I wouldn't use them for trails/hiking. I'll be getting a different brand whose soles I trust the grip of for hiking.

I purchased these a month ago, these shoes are super comfortable!

Extremely comfortable shoes, plus the look good, not to wide or clunky.

I wear these while working retail for 9+ hours and they feel great. While I've never worn the sneakers on the trail, I have the Elevation boots and wore those hiking in the Rocky Mountains. Absolutely love this line of shoes!

Bought these to wear at my always on my feet job . From the moment I put them on and began my day they were perfect, fit great and were oh so comfortable. I'd wear them everyday everywhere, feel like they were made for me, I couldn't be happier with them.

Very comfortable and durable. Good looking, too. I use them for work and play.

I bought these about 6 months ago planning to take them for an 8 day trip to Paris. They fit me immediately and worked perfectly on the trip. They got me through museums, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and an unexpected 24 hour day of travel home when our original flight was canceled. (Who says travel isn't glamorous?). My feet traveled first class on this trip.

Comfortable walking shoe, and easy to stand in all day at work. Great support, no breaking in time!

As soon as I put them on they felt comfy. Lots of room in the toe box. For their maiden voyage I wore them to America's favorite warehouse store where you often play bumper carts. My feet were up to the task. Next will be a trail hike.

They are perfect! I had purchased a couple of pairs of the Elevation hiking boots and love them! I wear them all the time! When I saw these Trail Runner's I thought they might also be perfect, and they are! They fit perfectly and feel great! It feels like I'm walking in my slippers!

This is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever ownedno break in required, they look great and I bought a second pair.

I bought these for a trip to Hawaii. I was able to comfortably walk with no break-in time for long stretches, hiking on paved and unpaved surfaces in parks and in cities! I originally bought my usual size of 8 1/2 but found that they were too big. Size 8 fit perfectly.

The associate that helped me was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable, they had previously helped my parents with their new hiking shoes. We needed ones for our week-long trip to the Grand Canyon and the hiking trails we wanted to travel since our old ones were not in good shape anymore. The Grand Canyon was going to be a bit rough for us, particularly while we took some of the more difficult terrain but our new shoes made it easier on our feet.

A trip to a national park was the reason for this purchase. They were comfortable, lightweight and non slip for mild hiking.

I finally found my most comfortable shoe! It's an all over comfort and breathable shoe and puts spring in my step. I'm 75 and walk daily and find them supportive and pain free.

Light comfortable trail shoes. No breaking in required!

Very comfy and lightweight great hiking shoes! Breathable and also just attractive

Light and comfy more like a sneaker than a hiker, I would keep to the packed down trails with these no rocky terrain.

These shoes fit comfortably, looked great and well made.

Wore these shoes hiking in Zion National Park! Very comfy right out of the box!

I bought these shoes for an upcoming European trip and I wanted shoes that were comfortable for walking and a little hiking. They're very comfortable and I didn't have to break them in at all (although I've been wearing them pretty much since I got them). I also like the colors because they stand out from the normal footwear colors I usually wear (gray, blue).

Such comfortable shoes. Great support for my daily walks.

Very comfortable and good for walking, which I do a lot of.

I looked around for a lot of tennis shoes at local stores. I couldn't find any that fit well, and didn't like the styles of most. Then I looked at LLBean. They had a more traditional looking tennis shoe that I had been looking for.

Super soft and comfy. Great for anyone with toe or bunion issues. I love these shoes. This is my 3rd pair.
