Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Camp Mocs

I ordered a size 8 Moccasin,but they were more like a size 9 or 10.I ordered the medium width but they were still to wide.This is the second time I've ordered shoes from Bean in size 8,but they were still way to large.If I buy shoes from Bean's again I'll have to go to a store to try them on first.

I've been wearing these shoes for over 25 years and as w/ pretty much everything else, they don't make them like they did in the past. I had a pair that I wore for maybe 6 months and the soles cracked thru where they're siped on the bottom, whoever makes them must have cut them too deep. I sent them back for an exchange and to Bean's credit they sent a new pair no questions asked. This pair had leather that was significantly stiffer than the previous shoes, but I wasn't going to complain. Now after 3-4 months the soles on these have cracked again. I'm not going thru the hassle of sending them back, I'll just glue the soles and buy somewhere else next. You'd think a Signature version w/ better leather and the old wedge sole would be a no brainer, c/mon Bean, give us what we want!

I have been buying LL Bean leather camp moccasins for, probably 50 years. And this was the first pair I didn't like - and don't particularly enjoy wearing. It used to be that the moccasins would break in fairly quickly and become softer and more comfortable to wear. The leather on these moccasins is much less pliable. In fact, I have been wearing them for nearly a month and they are still too stiff to be comfortable. I don't know if LL Bean is using a different supplier but I do know I would not buy another pair like the moccasins I have now.

First, the sizing issue: I'm a true 9 1/2" in the foot. I ordered a half size down to a size 9" (after examining user reviews). Still too long. Next I will be trying a size 8 1/2". Who makes shoes so inconsistent in sizing? Bean can do better in that department. Second: The quality feels cheap, not even $80.00 dollars good. They look almost comical to me. If you could compare an older moc with the more recent moc, well, you'd be disappointed too. Perhaps the high rating on this product is more indicative of nostalgia and/or inexperience rather than an assessment of it's actual current quality and value. I'll be keeping mine to beat around the yard in, but I don't think I could wear them out in public. Why not a Made-in-USA "heritage" edition --a higher quality (and understandably more expensive) version of the historic, all-American and iconic L.L. Bean Camp Moc (and other iconic L.L. bean products as well)? I'll even pre-order it. All that being said, I'd recommend this "camp moc" for a gardening shoe, nothing more.

The first few times I wore these the left shoe dug into my foot just below the ankle bone. I hope they loosen up. Otherwise I cannot wear them

I bought these to replace a pair of moose-hide mocs I'd bought from L L Bean that were wonderful but eventually wore out. Bean no longer sells moose-hide mocs, and these seemed the best of the alternatives. I wanted laces that encompassed my heels; waterproof soles; and no fur/fleece/flannel lining. I bought the same size (14 D) as my old mocs, my street shoes, and my tennis shoes. When I received these new mocs I followed the instruction to wear them inside for a few days, to let them stretch and adjust or "mold" to my feet. But these mocs are made of very hard, inflexible leather; and they did not adjust to my feet. They remained rigid and inflexible. They made my feet sore. I tried wearing thin socks and I tried thick socks; but no joy. Finally I returned them to Bean and ordered a pair of Minnetonka classic moose-hide mocs very similar to my old Bean mocs, from another vendor.

My shoe size is 9.5 D. These shoes looked great, but I couldn't walk in them without my heels pulling up and out of the shoe. Tightening the laces made no difference. The toe-room at the front of the shoe was just right, so a smaller size wouldn't do. I returned them with no problem from L.L.Bean. I bought a pair of Rockport boat shoes online elsewhere, and the same size fits very well.

Overall, the workmanship was fine, but the fit was poor. I was unable to adjust using inserts or cushions for a comfortable fit. Check the sizing first.

I have owned a pair of these moccasins for years and love them. Unfortunately, you have eliminated the "narrow" width, so I can no longer buy them.

Like so many other ll bean shoes these are narrow in the toe bed and my husbands feet are average width. I would only recommend to friend to try normal verses wide width. Some of ll bean shoes are the only ones my husband ever needs a wide in. We will be returning. Other than fit they are a nice moccasin.

L L Bean should get the manufacturer to change the size of the shoe lasts they are using. They are much too large compared to what customers expect. My normal size is 13, but when I put them on, I had over 1.5 inches of extra room. I then tried the size 12 which is acceptable, but still a little loose. This experience reminds me of the downside of ordering from a catalog, even one as good as L,L.Bean

I used to love these mocs; I've owned and wore out countless pairs since the early 1980s. They were my absolute first (usually only) choice for all my off duty/weekend/vacation footwear. My Dad loved and wore his just as much. But someone in the last few years decided to update the design. The formerly comfy rounded toe is now much narrowed...and the comfort is gone. I reluctantly returned my most recent purchases of my formerly favorite shoe... PLEASE bring back the original design!!!

I deliberated long and hard over ordering shoes online, which is a little like buying a used car over the telephone...but, okay, i went ahead and purchased two pair--these moccasins and a pair of tennies. and am now kicking myself in the rear with those very items. Although both are size 14 (what is a 14, anway?) the moccasins are much too large and the tennies way too small/tight...and, ironically, it is the moccasins that are most uncomfortable, painful, even.

These were to large for Me. However I have been promised to receive credit for My purchase. I was disappointed with the Mocs being to large, I am very happy with the way I was treated.

I usually wear a size 10 Medium shoe. The first pair I ordered proved to be to large, and the leather seemed quite stiff. The re-ordered pair (size 9 1/2) was also too large. (What gives with LLBean's moc sizing? I experienced a similar issue with another LLBean product.) I've owned a pair of LLBean Camp Mocs for over 20 years - except for the soles being worn (very little tread left) and the rawhide laces being stretched, I feel they could last another 20 years - and provide comfort as well. I do not have the same confidence in this product. The leather is very stiff (almost carboard-like), the laces are flimsy, and the inside does not appear to be finished as comfortably as my 20 year old pair. I probably could have lived with the fact that these (new) mocs would last as long as my original pair; however, the size issue (possibly solved by ordering a 3rd pair!) simply caused too much frustration to re-order yet again. I feel that LLBean needs to validate this moc's quality and size at the factory - not depend on its customers for ensuring the quality of its product.

I was happy with the look of the LL Bean brand and decided to try them. Shoes fit fine when first purchased but as I began to wear them the heel end quickly stretched way too much where they were uncomfortable to wear and flopped around when I was walking. In checking other reviews, I saw other people too had the same problem with the uncomfortable fit. I returned them to the store and went back to purchasing my usual brand instead.

swt decided to wear a heavy sock. I would have rather been able to have a shoe that fit wearing them bare foot being it is a boat shoe. Won't buy shoes from you anymore. Can't be sure of size

I have worn these moccasins for about 25 years. I have always ordered the same size (8.5 W). This time I ordered the same size, but I ordered the Cactus color rather than the Dark Brown. When they arrived they slipped off my heal and just generally were a little too large. I exchanged them for a pair of Dark Brown in the same size and they fit like they always have before. It's a shame because I like the Cactus color, and the leather is much softer and feel broken-in from the first time you put them on. The Dark Brown ones are a much darker brown than shows in the picture online. The picture online looks more like the color of the last pair I bought about 6 years ago. The leather is VERY stiff and they will require a good of time to break in so that they don't cause blister on my feet. Overall, I'm pretty disappointed.

I have worn LL Bean moccasins for over 20 years. This pair was an ugly brown and uncomfortable. After a number of wearings they are still not comfortable. Save your feet and your money and choose a different moccasin.

The mocs started squeeking after a couple of days. Took out the foam liner and they continue to squeek. The squeeking occurs between the leather and hard rubber sole. Cannot be worn in public. It is embarassing.

This is the only item I've bought from Bean that wasn't comfortable. Try as I might, I just could not get these shoes to adapt to my feet. They were too stiff and too wide and never "broke in" to being comfortable.

sizing is all wrong-have worn them for years and same size but now that they are constructed in San Salvador they are too small-plus the grade of leather seems inferior to the ones I wear now-worn out I might add

The sole is falling off the shoe already. Very disappointed. The pair I had prior to ordering these lasted me so much longer. I have always ordered my boat shoes through LLBean. I plan on returning.

Looked similar to 2 left shoes. Very floppy wide and shallow

Size runs large. I wear a size 9. In this shoe, I was able to fit two fingers behind my heal. Exchanged for an 8 1/2 - still too large. Returned for refund.
