Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Allagash Handsewn Chukka Boot

The leather is so clearly great quality, the only shoes I wear at this point. Very comfortable, run a little large.

Very comfortable, stylish; great value for the money.

A high quality leather boot born out of a boat shoe. High end leather was used in this product to craft a great looking style. Will be my winter go to boat boot!

Sporty Boots nice quality and feel and looked great

These shoes are very comfortable. The quality is topnotch.

Nice kicks... actually kicked some chit with them - they work well and are classy with pants. Breaking them in takes a bit - your ankles won't like. I recommend double socks (at least one thin), to get through it. Then they are like a baseball glove.

Upon opening the box, I really liked the boot, it was definitely well made, and couldn't wait to put them on to see how they fit. I normally wear a 10.5 medium but due to reading reviews I ordered a wide. It was a disappointment to find them was too tight, even with thin socks.

I honestly think these classic chukka boots are overpriced especially since they are foreign sourced (El Salvador) and do not have Vibram lugged soles (hence the 4 stars) but I decided to get a pair only when the price dropped. The full-grain leather and leather inner sole and laces get 5 stars, but lack of padding on the tongue takes some getting used to. The soft rubber lugged sole, while comfortable for daily wear but will likely begin to wear within a year. So, great looks, nice comfort, but a few changes could make these a 5-star super classic.

Nice quality and finish however, the shoe runs small. I ordered a 13 triple E wide and could not get my foot into it. My feet are actually 12 1/2 and Ive never had a 13 triple E not fit. The in step doesnt open far enough to get a large foot with a high end step into this boot. Though the quality of the boot appeared to be very good and the finish was very nice.

The boots were difficult for my husband to get into. They were narrow and he didn't like the style that much. I however thought they looked nice. Oh well

Boots feel ruff and must break them in. But when you do it's well worth it.

Good looking boots but the sole support is rather poor. Had to buy an extra sole support to be able to walk long distances. The inside leather stains light color socks.

Nice boot. A little tough to break in at the top of the boot. I would say the size runs pretty true.

Feel like they have to be broken in, would like to hear other reviews on them, they fit fine

The soals of these boots are shot in less than a year! The upper part is fine, but the bottom is junk!

The outsole is not durable at all. After a little over 2 months of regular use, the back of the heel has lost almost all the tread. Amazing that this would be sold as a shoe that you'll wear for years, but maybe they just expect you to get it resoled every few months.

The new version is almost the same as the original but these are not identical to what I have.

Pictures don't do this boot justice. Boots are beautiful howevere, I tried these boots on and this boot was up against my Achilles' tendon. So painful just trying on. Maybe for you but not for me.

Was looking to replace my original bison leather version with padded inside & tongue - item D244479 RN71341 made in El Salvador. Based on reviews will not buy these. WHY DO YOU DISCONTINUE THE BEST ITEMS?

Do not care for the design of the new. I haven't even put them on and would return them in the original box if I could find my shipping paperwork.

I bought these boots a few years back and they were great, but eventually wore out. The pair I purchased recently was supposed to be the same, but definitely were not. Cheaply made without the previous padding on the tongue and heel, very stiff leather, and the same size as previously purchased was too small. Huge disappointment in the way this product had changed. Will not order footwear here again.
