Better than expected!
I was hesitant to purchase these shoes because of some negative ratings regarding the fit, but I took a chance and ordered them (expecting to return them) and it turned out to be a good decision. Some reviews recommended ordering half a size smaller and that was good advice. I usually wear a 9w so I ordered 8.5w and they fit perfect. I have a relatively high instep and I find the shoes to be fairly easy to slip on. Durable leather with solid soles and good treads. I would have preferred these shoes to have a more casual matte finish as they appear too dressy for my needs (they are a shiny black) and I would have preferred brown, but they weren't in stock (as so often happens with LL Bean).

Excellent Shoes
My second pair of these. I bought a pair 3 or so years ago and the seams began to split out a couple of months ago (not bad, since I wear them almost every day). I was happy to see LL Bean offer them again with the style and sizing unchanged from my previous purchase. They also take a nice spit-shine!

Really great, but . . .
I love the look and fit of these shoes. They are comfortable and supportive. However, the top edge that goes over mid-foot is stiff and very uncomfortable to walk in. I had hoped it would soften up, but after about a month it is still not easy to walk around in. Sadly, they are going back.

Excellent shoe
I have these shoes in brown and black with an open heel, from many years ago. Will you be bringing the open heel back?

Where have these shoes been my whole life? Love!
I’m going to get a second pair to have in reserve - these are so comfortable to wear! At first the shape of the shoe looked clunky and big in person but when I put them on (with average thickness socks) they seemed to mold themselves to my foot and I barely noticed I had a shoe on! Very freaky experience! Walking in them was a DREAM! So so comfy and cushiony! I could walk in these all day with no complaints and that was right out of the box - no need to break them in! Well worth the money to treat your feet to a vacation!

Great walking shoe
Very comfortable, but a little loose in the heel. Heavy socks fix it. I have a brown pair, but can't get it any longer. Please bring it back!

Great but a little larger than normal
I'm usually a 9.5 in LLBean shoes/boots, but this was more like a 10. I'll just get some insoles and I'm sure it'll be good.
