Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Elevation Trail Runner Vent

These shoes fit well and look good. They're light in feel but also supportive.

Outta the box & onto the feet, no breaking in needed. Allows for a simple pair of footies for warmer days or smart wool socks for cooler. Well constructed with good tread for dry days on or off trails. Nice color combo.

I purchased these just two days before a trip with warm weather hiking. No break in period needed! I did wear around the house for a short while beforehand. The shoes are lightweight with great traction. I didn't need/want waterproof, but accidentally stepped into a stream during a hike, I found the shoes dried very quickly! My normal size 7.5 was a perfect fit. Last, the color is handy.

Best shoe I have ever bought. Comfortable from day one!! I wore them all over Italy. From walking the cities to hiking in the Cinque Terre they were perfect. So glad I bought them.

Hike weekly in these. Very comfortable. Supportive. Keep feet dry. Decided to wear them to Disney World this year. We average about 8-10 miles/day when we're in the theme parks. This was the most comfortable I've been on any of our trips. No blisters, etc like I usually experience. Kept my feet dry on a wet, raft ride. Would definitely wear these again next time.

These have surpassed my wildest dreams. Typically I have to "break in"new shoes before they even become something I can wear for several hours at a time but not these. From the get go they have been supportive and comfortable and ones that I can wear for almost the entire day. I liked mine so much so that I bought my husband a pair and he has voiced the same comments as well. I highly recommend them.

I need a cushioned shoe and that's what these are.

Bought them to hike in Newfoundland. A big rock. They cushioned my feet nicely. No waterproofing but I knew that before I got them. Dried fast!

Extremely comfortable. Needed to get away from the dark colors for the summer and these were a perfect choice.

I bought these in the spring of 2023 and have put on 150+ miles on them. I want to give it 4.5 stars due to the fact it took a bit of a learning curve to find just the right socks to wear in order not to continue getting a blister on my right heel/Achilles. Now that I have that figured out, I could walk all day everyday in these shoes. I wear them on hiking trails and just everyday walks about the neighborhood. Lightweight, nice looking, functional!

These shoes are very well made with attention to detail and design. Very comfortable, extremely lightweight for travel and a perfect fit - I ordered my normal size 7.5 - just right. The colors on this shoe are unique too. These hikers are well worth the pricing for an excellent pair of shoes out of the box.

I have 3 pairs, blue, black/green and the brown. They are so light and comfortable. I use them for hiking or just going out for a long walk

These shoes were comfortable right from the beginning. They look great, are super light and fit perfectly. I almost don't want to sully them on the trail because they look so good with jeans!

Lightweight comfortable shoes that are smooth and durable.

These are the best hiking/walking shoes for people who don't always want to be wearing hiking boots! They have great traction on the bottom for hiking, and are very breathable. I had the opportunity of being an L.L.Bean Student Ambassador this fall and I seriously love promoting these shoes!!

Very lightweight! Good looking shoe! Made extremely well!

Comfortable from the start. I think I may love these shoes.

Sturdy and supportive. Nice designcute, BUT it does cut across ankle bone which isn't ideal.

I wore these for a substantial walk the first time I took them out of the box. They are true to size fit my standard size 7 feet nicely and are light-weight and nicely cushioned. They are also quite cute! I did take off one star because I do not feel like they have enough arch support for me. I bought a pair of insoles at the drugstore and I think this will rectify the matter.

Neat and nice looking. Super soft and comfortable.

I looked all summer for khaki tennis shoes, and never found what I wanted until these! I have already had compliments on them, more than once. They are comfortable but not too soft, and ventilated too. The orange and brown shoelaces are so pretty with the shoes but I changed out for some plain brown so as to decrease the "loudness" of the shoes, when worn with non- orange clothes. Finding the right shade of brown was a trick, though. Many manufacturers include an extra pair of laces, but these didn't.

Very stylish and fit pretty well. Thought there would be more cushioning in the insole.

Cute but not as comfortable as I wanted. Didn't fit me the way I want, felt too narrow and long

These were comfy, but too big. I ordered a size 6 which usually is good, but not for these. And of course they don't come smaller.
