Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Casco Bay Boat Moc

I wear my boat shoes barefoot. The new shoe is comfortable enough on the sole but quite uncomfortable in the tongue area. It will have to improve quite a bit after break-in or I will be disappointed.

I have owned three pairs of these shoes in the past 10 years. They are very comfortable right out of the box. The hand stitching is excellent. However, the machine stitching starts to break and unwinds at the heal, sides and across the top of the tongue. This starts during the second year of wear. I would not purchase them again.

these shoes are well made and good looking; however, for me, they were uncomfortable. the inside of the shoe just doesn't feel good on the bottom of my feet and it has not gotten better as they are worn.

The shoes looked fantastic and just what I wanted !! But when I got them they were so thin on materials !! The soles especially were so thin and flimsy that they hurt your feet walking on anything but padded carpet . The tongue on the shoes were a bit short for my comfort and liking as well . I was saddened that I had to send them back as there were the look I wanted but just not durable enough

First, the rating: it has to do with my feet and the width of this pair of shoes, not the quality of the shoe. When I first put the shoes on, I was happy. The second time, it was as though someone had stolen into my closet and stretched the shoes side to side. My feet slid around in them. In every other shoe I've gotten from LL, the size, 11 D/Med, was indeed a perfect fit. I have no clue what happened.

As far as boat shoes go, I find these MUCH better than Sperry and Sebago which have gotten awfully cheap. They run true to size (Sperry and Sebago run 1-1.5 sizes small in length and width) and the leather is higher quality. They are very comfortable the way BOAT SHOES are supposed to feel. My only gripe is the sole sticks out too far forward in the front and easily catches on carpet and peels under, stretching the stitching out which makes the situation degrade quickly. Engineer the sole a bit better and stitch it more firmly and this shoe will become the new benchmark boat shoe.

Overall a very nice, well made shoe, and I especially like the chocolate color, but I was looking for more support, which is the reason I preferred Sebago over Sperry. Very comfortable, but since I wear orthotics in my running shoes, this just doesn't have the rigidity and support that I would like.

For decades I have worn these shoes, they were discontinued from LLB for a few years and I resigned myself from being able to get them anymore. Recently they appeared in the catalog again, and I quickly ordered a pair. The new ones look exactly like the previous models but regrettably are not made from the same quality leather. The new pair is not as substantial. Hopefully this will be corrected. I have long been impressed with LLB quality.

Good quality but tight fit on right foot near toes causing discomfort. Don't know what to do. Same problem with a recently purchased snow sneaker. Other shoes ok so I think it's them. Please advise me on how to resolve this. First time ever had an issue with Bean footwear. Longtime customer.

These are good boat shoes. Openings are a little wide for when you are wearing them, and therefore do not look as high of quality shoes. I have had these for about 8 months and a pair of brown Sperry's for 3 years. I would recommend the Sperry's over LLbean's boat shoes for anyone in the market. If you want to save some money though these are a good alternative.

I have worn these for years. Of course not the same pair. These shoes last for one year with regular use. Based upon my last three pairs usually the stitching fails first, then the sole splits causing the shoe to leak on damp ground then the sole separates from the shoe. I have had Sperry boat shoes last much much longer but I like the looks of these better for work. I just bought another pair today online but I know I will need another pair next year. I'm in New England so they probably only really last for 9 months.

I've been wearing LL Bean boat shoes for twenty years. The quality has declined significantly over the past ten years. These have softer leather than ten years ago. While initial comfort is ok these do not mold to the foot the way their harder leather boat shoes once did. I expect these to last a couple of summers tops. Unfortunately, will have to look elsewhere in the future. Size: barefoot get a half size smaller.

I'm currently waiting for my third exchange for size. The size 12 (my normal size) I originally ordered was too big, the size 11 exchange was too small and hopefully the size 11.5 will be a satisfactory fit.

The left shoe was brand new. The right shoe was worn, stretched out, and scuffed.

Quality is excellent, sizing is wrong. Needed to order a full size smaller than my usual size.

They're uncomfortable if you don't wear socks. Thick stitching creating rough edges inside

I liked the style of the Casco Bay Boat Mocs and ordered a pair online with my usual 9 1/2 shoes size. However, when I tried them on it was clear that they were too big. I returned them and re-ordered with a size 9. They were still too big as I was walking out of them. I visited an L.L. Bean store in Wareham Ma to see if they had a better size for me. The store had a very limited inventory for this style. I since gave up and returned the shoes for credit.

Have three pair. Oldest the best. Since buying 'offshore' quality has suffered. TOO MANY IMPORTS....FROM ONE OF THE GREATEST COMPANIES OF ALL TIME.

These are handsome shoes but the sole is way too thin. We'd purchased a similar pair of shoes from LLBean about 5 years ago and they had a nice thick sole but this new shoe did not. For that reason we returned them.

Lightweight shoes not really suitable as 'deck shoes' only as knock abouts.

I have been buying and wearing LL Bean shoes for many years. They have always run true to size and fit my feet just right. I also have BIG (14EE) feet, and find very little selection in local stores. LLBean has been my go-to brand. These shoes were nice looking and well made, but they were HUGE! I then ordered a size 13EE, and even they are a bit loose, but wearable. Strongly recommend that you order a size down.

Too narrow in the front--------too pointed making toes hurt

This shoe has the same number as its predecessor but it's not the same deck shoe that one wears aboard a boat or at least a boat under 150 ft.. This new version is not as flexible as the old one and the leather does not like salt water. Please go back to your old vendor and bring back your knock about deck shoe...

Well constructed shoe with very good leather & sole; the issue, it is very bulky. A "boat" shoe needs to be nimble, dare I say like the original created by your competitor many decades ago.

Fits about a size and a half too large.
