Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Portland Boot Lace Up

This is a beautiful boot! But...it is massively oversized and uncomfortable. I wear a size 8 or 8.5 with all other brands. With L.L.Bean I know to size-down a full size, so I ordered a size 7. However, even the 7 is still too large. I can't go any smaller because a size 7 is the smallest they make. This boot is massively oversized. You need to size down 1.5 to 2 sizes compared to any other brand. Also, this boot is just not comfortable. While too large, it fit well enough to try on and realize that it's just not a comfortable boot. They are beautiful. Unfortunately, it stops there.

Difficult to lace up uncomfortable. I understand there's time for a break in, but never felt right. Usually, I know as soon as I try them on this boot just wasn't for me.

These boots are stylish and look good. However they do require a break in period. They could be more comfortable. They become painful when walking any kind of distance.

Ended up returning these as they seemed to run a size large. They do look nice are comfortable. I ordered the normal size show I wear and my heels were sliding around.

Very bulky and very oversized. I have a triple E size 12 foot. These are D size and yet they were oversized. Beautiful craftsmanship and I'm sure Great for construction work but not for every day use
