Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent boots I bought these boots a few months ago because I was tired of hiking boots delaminating after a few months. I was uncertain about the height of the boots and the weight considering I was planning to wear them backpacking, but I am extremely happy I bought these. The slight weight delta over my the Keens I bought the last few times is well worth the improved durability, water resistance and the fact they haven't shrank which has happened several time in boots I purchased with a Gore-Tex type layer. I've worn these to work, backpacking and hiking in warm months and in knee deep snow and my feet have been comfortable in all cases. The toe area also has lots of room like Keen boots. When these wear out, if they ever do, I'll look at getting them re-soled because these boots do have stitched on soles, or I'll certainly buy another pair like them. They're a bit more pricey than I usually pay for a pair of boots, but they have already outlived my last two pair of Keens and Merrell's.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great boot, but one fatal flaw I have almost 12 months of daily (8 -10 hrs a day on my feet at work, and on daily trail hikes with the dog) use on my pair. They are about the most comfortable boot I’ve owned. The leather is tough, the tread is equivalent to a good All Terrain tire on your truck. No, not waterproof, but really, nothing short of rubber is actually waterproof. Not a problem for me. I had to replace the insoles and laces at about 10 months. When I fist got them I thought that the fabric on the interior seemed too loose and too light-weight, and indeed, the fabric at the heel has torn, making it impossible to get them on without a shoe horn to smooth the way. This is a real problem, and based on other reviews, I’m not the only one. A heavier, tighter Cambrelle lining would be preferable. If not for this significant problem, I’d buy another pair without hesitation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Classic Boot These are great boots. They have aggressive tread, ample ankle support, and a classic look. They are comfortable and the appropriate weight for an upland boot.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from I wanty to like them I was excited to be gifted these. But unfortunatly thats where the smiles end. The are uncomfortable even after breaking in. The cause my knees and back to hurt after wearing. The fabric lining torn at the heel, making it difficult to slip your foot in and out of. I keep trying different insoles to try to get some wear out of them.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Over-stated and over-rated Not a good product and the advertising as an upland boot is inaccurate. The soles are wider and heavier than they need to be such that they are not the lightweight, streamlined boot that one would expect from an upland boot. The design is more of a rugged terrain or deer hunting shoe

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Disappointed Do not expect your feet to remain dry if you need to walk through wet grass or weeds, even if the ground is solid and dry underfoot. The problem is NOT caused by "wicking" from the top of the sock downward into the boot. A good application of Snow Seal to the outside leather was good for the leather, first applied after the first outing afield, and applied after a few days of drying before the snow seal application, but my feet were nevertheless wet again after about 20 minutes of walking. Other than this one problem, which to me is very important and which is contrary to LL Bean's product description, I would say the boot is a sound purchase. An ok boot for DRY upland hunting.
