Just what I wanted to wear shoveling snow, trudging out to the bird feeder, all that messy, wet, cold mucking about. Plus, they're a comfortable fit for my difficult foot (neuroma) problem.
I live in northeastern Wisconsin, and have been wearing these boots all winter in a wide variety of weather. The foot bed is unbelievably comfortable, arch support excellent, and weather protection awesome. The fit reported in most of the reviews was accurate also. They're warm for the stated temperature range, which I was worried about because my toes run cold. In sub-zero temperatures they were generally ok if I was shoveling snow, but my toes did get cold when traipsing about in the woods in deep snow for a long time. However, they're not really intended for that anyway. Whether deep snow or several inches of icy slush, my feet never got wet. Snow got packed at the top of the boot, but nothing ever got down in it. I've never had them laced all the way either (the one drawback to this boot: the laces are nowhere near long enough to lace all the way to the top). I will wear these boots every year from October through April - mud, snow, ice, slush, rain - and be happy I've got them! Thank you L.L. Bean for an excellent, well-made, versatile boot.
Order process quick and easy. Got my boots in a day or so. I'm very pleased with my new boots. And after a winter like this...I'm glad I got them and fast. Thanks LL Bean burslf
Having grown up with LLBean boots and still owning my original Bean mocs and 7-inch slip-on boots, I purchased the tall, full-zip Shearling-Lined bean boots for myself two years ago.
Since our daughters have grown out of the style and sizes of the pull-on LLBean snow boots and their feet "may" be at their adult size, we purchased them each a pair of the 10" Shearling-Lined Bean Boots. Their feet are warm, dry, and stylish, whether the boots are laced up or folded over and worn more as a shoe-boot. Even at the higher price than a typical snow-boot, we felt the boots were worth every penny due to the quality and durability of LLBean products, plus the LLBean guarantee.
To top it off, we have wonderful customer service every time we shop and did on this shopping experience in the Freeport store - in the morning and later that same night. Thank you again!
