Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Rugged Wellie Chelsea Boot

I've never been more happy with a pair of boots. I usually wear a size 8, so I ordered these in a size 8 and they fit perfectly. Not only are they waterproof and an excellent choice for a rainy day, but they look and feel good as well. I ordered a black pair, which can be worn with a casual or semi-formal outfit. I highly recommend buying these over Blundstones since they are significantly less expensive. Wear them with some Darn Tough socks and you'll be good to go!

So I debated about getting these. I them tried on in the flagship store and put them back. Originally I tried an 8 and they were too big. I typically wear an 8 and sometimes can get away with a 7.5. The 7 seemed to just barely fit. My daughter ended up buying the 8 for my birthday. I exchanged them for the 7. Perfect! Maine spring rain, no problem! I wore them 2 days in a row to work, all day. The insole is just the perfect amount of bounce and super comfy. I'd go to the closest size down if you are a 1/2 size. I went a whole size down (8 to 7) and they just barely fit.

Great dupe for another pair of boots I was looking at. I normally wear a 9.5 in sneakers but a 9 in these fit me perfectly.

I love these boots so much. They're amazing! They keep my feet dry, they're comfortable, and they look great! I sometimes wear them even when it's not raining because I like them that much. Also: spring in Minnesota often involves snow. My snow boots aren't waterproof anymore, so I've also worn these in the snow. They're not insulated, but with warm socks and spring weather (20-40 degrees F), these were just fine. I'm really impressed with these boots, and highly recommend them.

I love the look of Chelsea Boots. This wellie works for me. They require a bit of patience to get them flexible enought to slide on. Regardless, I'm looking for puddles!

Like these so far but haven't had a need for them too much. A nice fit

I bought this boot as a replacement to an earlier model that my dog chewed up. This newer model has the same issue my older model had the treads are to wide and rocks and sticks get stuck in the bottom. I tried to upload a photo but choose file button didn't work.

I bought these hoping they came with a bit more insulation than they do. My mistake, but they are still good as waterproof boots, just not made for the colder days.

Boots look cheap even though they are a good quality. Something weird about the shade of grey that makes them look cheap

Boots are great. I had to learn how to it them on as they are a slide in/on boot. I wear one sock. I wear to dog park whether there is just dew or rain. Tread is just right. They seem to be a product that bass on materials will last me years.

love them and they look great! looking forward to wearing them in scotland

I had wanted these boots for ages and after adopting an active dog who insists on going outside in all weather, every day, I finally placed my order. I love the look and feel and I've loved wearing them for almost a year but suddenly the upper separated from the sole. I'm returning them and hope for a new pair that will hold up and not come apart. As a loyal LLBean fan I'm eager to try again.

The fit is very tight at first. So much so that I thought about going up half a size. The more I wore them, the easier they were to put on. I am glad to have them as a choice for those days when the weather is rainy and cold.

Comfortable and waterproof. Great for spring time . Not a very wide boot tho. I would size up if you have a wide foot

Well made, waterproof, great traction, attractive, fit well, comfortable. Perfect for my needs EXCEPT as an older person with problems bending over I could not get them on except with the greatest difficulty.

I'm pretty happy with these. They have pretty good support and are comfortable. They are a little stiff but that is to be expected with a rubber boot.

These rubber boots are handsome, nicely made but not very comfortable. I also own Blunnies, upon which these are modeled. Blunnies are easier to walk in. The LLB wellie boots are not very comfortable on the foot. Fine if you need to get from house to car, car to store with dry feet but not for an extended walk.

Quality, comfortable, easy to get on and off, but not for Midwest winters.

I got these boots as a Seattlite who needs to walk in the rain for commute and to have the versatility of both casual and work-appropriate shoes. These fit the bill perfectly. They are a little big to size, even with thick cozy socks, so they do slide but I'm okay with it. They also tend to get some stains here and there with regular use, so you will need to wash them off (they're rubber so it's no big deal).

Very comfortable & easy to get on with thin socks. Wish the rubber outer shell looked a little more like leather.

The size I ordered was too big so I returned them. I'm a 9.5 or 10 depending on the shoes and I need a wide, but these don't come in wides, so I ordered up to an 11. They don't have laces, so there's no way to cinch them to my feet, so they just dangled. I bet the 10s would have fit. They were much heavier than I thought they would be and since I already own the 8" Gore-Tex Bean Boots, I didn't bother ordering a smaller size. If I could get the size right, they would be great rain boots and they're super cute too. Knocked off a star because they don't come in half sizes.

I love the look of Wellies but had never tried them. The navy color was pretty and I liked the shorter style. Sadly, my feet need more support than these have if I wanted to wear them for more than a quick trip to the mailbox.

These are more comfortable than I expected them to be. Have worn them a couple times so far. No too heavy. Takes a little effort to get them on. I found them to be true to size and can wear with normal socks or slightly thicker socks. Happy so far.

Sturdy boots! I wanted something for messy days around the house or errands in town, and these will fit the bill. The fit is a little tight around the ankles, but otherwise fine. They are clearly not meant for a lot of walking, but will be fine for keeping my feet dry.
