excellent traction, good support, very good water resistance. too quality materials and construction

They fit very nicely and are warm and snug. They are very comfortable and great for walking long distances.

Excellent boots. Thank you for providing great products.

I bought these for my husband and he's crazy about them. He can't say enough about how comfortable they are.

Very comfortable, warm and easy on and off. Wear them for all outdoor work

Great grip and super warm. Best waterproof boots I've ever had.

Nice looking, great fit, & traction, very comfortable.

EXACTLY what I was looking for. Shoe size was perfect and my normal size. We had a spurt of minus degree weather and my feet were toasty with regular weight socks. I wore them constantly (indoors and out) for a few days. Very comfortable. Warm outside and no sweating inside. Highly recommended

best boots I've ever had! the build quality and fit is excellent.

Owned the brown version of these boots for 3 years now. They've fared well so far. Some have questioned the zipper design, but that's actually one of the main reasons I love them. I can put them on and take them off RAPIDLY.

Warm, perfect fit & exactly what I needed. Very pleased with these boots. Highly recommend.

Built well. Ordered up half size to accommodate thicker socks. Comfortable all day.

Great boots, highly recommend, my husband loves them

I really like these boots. The fit is good and they are very comfortable and warm. Size for me was ok. Maybe a little roomy but that's good because in the winter I wear heavier sox. I bought them to wear in the winter when running errands or short trips around town.

This product is precisely how it is described . It fits very well and comfortable. I never have any problems with any of their products.

Well constructed boot, as one would expect from LLB, with a slightly taller top than the ones being replaced, so my trouser legs stay over the tops after bending. Well insulated, so a half size larger made sense, especially with thick socks.

I bought these boots a while back, probably 5 or 6 years ago. I wear them when snow shoveling and at hunting camp. I wore them as my camp boots on a 2018 Colorado elk hunt and wear them as a camp boot in the Catskills. They are my go-to boots when I want to put boots on in a hurry for an outdoor chore. They are sturdy, comfortable, and warm enough for snow removal chores. Another great LLBean product. I wear a size 12 EE shoe, and these are fine for my wide feet with a pair of medium weight socks.

After reading all the reviews, and considering other laceless boots like Blundstones, I decided to opt for these as a less expensive option, cross my fingers and hope for the best. I love these boots and can provide the following notes: I don't need to wear heavy socks and my feet stay warm, but very heavy socks do make them a bit harder to put on. I'm in between sizes 10.5 and 11 usually, so I'd probably feel fine with my wool socks if I sized up, but if you're dead on your size you may not want to add a size increase for socks. They have pretty stiff ankle support and there's not much compliance in the material so they do take some effort to pull on, just like any laceless boots. Some reviews made it seem like these boots are very hard to put on, but that's not true. These boots are much easier to get your foot into than a Doc Marten of the same height, but a littler harder to put on than an insulated snow boots with a full-access tongue and loosened laces. For me, it's not possible to step into these boots, I always use the two well constructed leather loops at the front and back of the foot. The zipper is smooth and when they are zipped, the boots hug my calf and provide similar support as I get in a work boot. I wouldn't recommend these for the trail, but on the streets or worksite they are pretty much perfect.

Wore these on a January 2021 trip to Fairbanks AK. I found them to be warm and comfortable. The temp was between minus 10 and minus 20 during my trip. I used them on a snow machine tour and a dog sled tour. I felt that they were just a tiny bit short and might have exchanged for a half size bigger if ai had time. They worked out fine anyway. My feet were warm the entire time in spite of a health condition that gives me cold feet. The side zip is great, but does compromise the waterproof. If you stepped in water over the zipper, some would get in. For me, I must keep my sox pulled up to prevent skin abrasion by the top collar. That is more a function of my ankle than the boot. All in all, I give them an excellent rating.

I normally wear an 8 but I tried these on in the store and realized that I needed a 9, so that is what I ordered. They fit well, but I can't wear heavy socks unless I wanted to remove the insoles, but without insoles the inner material of the boot is exposed. I am not sure if it would be damaging to the boot to use like that. Otherwise, I think these are attractive and well-made. I especially like the easy on and easy off with the side zipper. I am guessing that reviewers who said they were difficult to get on their feet had ordered the wrong size. These go on and off with only a little tug.

Unless it's really really cold my feet stay warm. A little hard to get in and off, but comfortable, and good walking.

First, let's say five stars for Corporate not screwing up a good, classic design. These new ones replaced quite old ones (the left zipper finally gave it up), with no downgrade or cheapening in the interim. Two tiny dings: the zippers should go about 3/8" farther down for easier put-on; the little flap that interposes between the zipper and your sock should be a more robust material. The tight put-on will mean the interior lining just above the heel will eventually wear through. No real biggie, that. BTW, seriously comfortable!

I love the boots! This is my second pair. Light, comfortable, and work with them all the time. Not really crazy about the nylon zipper. That's what broke on my first pair.

good fit, had to order twice first pair too roomy.so lost monies on expedited shipping.
