Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not like the originals I bought my first pair in 1997 and wore them until 2021 when they began leaking/coming apart by where the leather meets the soul. They were made in Italy and the leather was fantastic. I wore them everywhere hiking and never had an issue as they broke in well. The pair I received (A gift from hubby, so I picked them out ;) ) are made in Romania. They are beautiful but don't break in and have remained stiff. Eyelets are well made and sturdy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best Boots, My 2nd pair This is my second pair of these, just so I would have an extra to use at home. They are as comfortable as a tennis shoe, and no break in period. The best. Love them. They do scratch up pretty easily, but can be polished up to look new.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Wasn't good for me The construction appeared to be good - however, the fit was sloppy. The ankle area was very uncomfortable. I did not try them in the field - they just were a bad fit for me. The shoe was only available in D (wide) width when I ordered - when I checked, no ETA on B width. I see now that some sizes are available in B width, but honestly the shoes seem to run a little narrow. I usually only purchase B width, as my feet are NOT wide - so for me to say they seem to be narrow (for a D width) I think if your foot was truly wide, they MIGHT be too narrow. And since I never put them to the water test, I can not say how effectively they are waterproof.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Need narrow size please- best boots! I have been wearing these boots since the 1990s in a narrow size. I have purchased about 5 pairs over the years. I wear them not only for hiking but everyday wear because they have the best support and most comfort for my feet. I was purchasing from ll bean usa but they no longer have narrow and it seems they are almost out of the regular sizes too, so I began looking elsewhere and just now found ll bean ca. Please bring back the narrow width. It is so important to have boots that fit properly. Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from long lasting bought first pair in 1994. Got at least 20 years out them including multiple days hikes, mountain climbs and back packing trips (including 2 weeks in the White Mountains) I love these boots! Im on my 2nd pair now. Great ankle support, great grip, very comfortable, and feet stay dry!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Have Not Worn Have not warn yet but love the look and style. The weight of the shoe is significant and wonder if this might turn out to be a negative factor. Hopefully not.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Older than the hills- Almost 30 years I bought these boots in September of 1994. I am sad to report they have served me well, but the sole & upper is now separating. I'm going to try to repair them because they are still comfortable. Any recommendation on what kind of glue to use? Mine have a bit of mesh on them, not fully leather as these pictured are.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My favorite boots for over 20 years I got my first Crestas back in 2001 (I think?) and they lasted until 2015 or so. It wasn’t the fault of the boots…my apartment flooded. I finally bought a replacement pair a couple years back and have been wearing them faithfully since then. They are still GREAT boots, good for gnarly trails, and hold up beautifully. I know heavier duty hikers aren’t as popular now, but please please PLEASE keep making these, Bean. They’re wonderful boots. Also, I’d buy a second pair in black the second it’s offered. :) I’m a 7 and I wear a 7.5 in most hiking boots and running shoes and these were perfect after break-in in a 7.5.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sturdy hiking boots It is difficult to find women's hiking boots in wide. I want an above ankle leather boot.This is my 5th pair of these boots. I'm an avid hiker and need a new pair every 2 years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cresta boots are great Great boots!! I hike the 4000 footers in NH and these boots have never let me down. The vibram soles stick to the wet rocks. I had my first pair for 16 years. Just replaced them and was able to hike with them immediately after I put them on... no break in time. I can hike year round in these boots--have snowshoed up mountains with warm feet. I bought them for my daughters as well. These are the only boots for me!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing yet comfortable ankle support I bought these boots for a cross-country trip to National Parks in the Northwest. I had badly sprained an ankle a year prior, and reinjured it just before our trip. These boots allowed me to hike safely at Zion, Bryce, Glacier, Yellowstone and Arches. Still going strong 2 years later!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Narrow Width Pease! I 2nd the desperate need for narrow hiking shoes. I am size 9.5 and narrow from toe box to heel. Please restock narrow width!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Boot replacement This is my second pair of boots. Great fit as I require wide sizes and they break in quickly. These boots are tough and give me the needed arch support for my old feet. Keep wide sizes forever!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best boot ever! Have bought 6 pairs over past 30 years. They are wonderful in snow,mud and rain. Great traction on trails and rocks. The only issue might be that the sole material slips on a streambeds mossy rocks and is not great on ice. They are warm and waterproof. The arch support of the 'last' is still great abpnd can accomodate removable supports. I wear mine every day of the year as I live in the Idaho mountains. I keep them shined with kiwi shoe polish and they look good as new. If LLBean ever stops making them I will be in a pickle!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wmns Goretex Cresta Boots These boots are very comfortable. They are really sturdy & durable. For day hikes or serious backpacking these Cresta boots are great!! Thank You!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from sturdy boots for serious hiking These boots are leather with a Gore-Tex lining and Vibram soles, just what I was looking for. I couldn't get my usual size 9 1/2, so I bought a size 10. They are just right with my heaviest pair of hiking socks. With my regular hiking socks, they are too loose. The laces could be a little longer for easier tying. The boots are easy to break-in, no sore spots.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hooray for dry feet! Have purchased several name brands of waterproof/water resistant hunting boots. None have stayed waterproof/resistant for more than a year, despite all sorts of applications of waterproofing once they failed. These have kept my feet dry year after year so purchased a new pair. Both pairs required breaking in on my left ankle in the same spot. Once broken in, very, very comfortable. Mostly, love my dry feet!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Need NARROW Width - please offer them again! Please bring back the narrow width cresta hikers. No way my 2A feet can work in a B width boot. I've worn my old narrow hikers for years & love them - but I need a new pair in narrow. PLEASE - NARROW footwear is desperately needed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Crests hikers These are my 2nd pair of these boots. I’ve had my 1st pair for almost 20 years and thought it was time for a new pair. My 1st hike out with these great boots , I did a 10 hour hike and no blisters. I highly recommend these boots, they are worth every Penny.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love these boots I've had these boots for a few years. I found them on the clearance rack at a L.L.Bean store and they were marked down. These are really great hiking boots and they only get better with age. I highly recommend them to any hikers out there

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great boots I have been buying LL Bean Crestas for the past 20 years. They are comfortable and durable. I used to get blisters with other brands, but not Crestas. I wear womens 6.5 and ordered size 7 boot. Great fit. Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bring back the narrow! I have just worn out my second pair of these hikers. I LOVE THEM! Please, please, please bring back the narrow for all sizes. I recently tried the medium but they are simply too wide. I hike up to 15 miles per week.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My experience with my new boots They do run narrow and takes awhile to break in. I hike every day so I had to break them slowly. I am very very happy 😃

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best boots! I love my Cresta hikers. This is my second pair. My first pair lasted well, even with a punishing hike across northern Spain! Crestas require no break in period.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Decade and a Couple Years I received these boots as a graduation gift from my parents in 2010. Twelve years and countless miles later, they’re still going strong. I am terribly clumsy on trails, and these boots have saved my ankles time and again. I’ve replaced the insoles twice, but with regular care, the outer leather and Vibram soles have have held up remarkably well. One thing I’m realizing with age is just how heavy these boots are. I can’t do the miles I used to in them without feeling like I have bricks on my feet by the end, but that’s probably more a testament to my changing abilities than it is to the boots themselves. I’m at the point where I might look for something newer and lighter for longer treks, but I doubt anything will beat the stability, durability, and water-tightness these have shown over the last twelve years. Reliable as an old friend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bring Back the Narrow AA! I have been wearing the Cresta Hiking Boots Narrow size 10 since they were first sold by LLBean in the 1990's. I am on pair number five or six. They are the best fitting, most comfortable hiking boots ever made for women with narrow feet! They are made extremely well and last many years. Please, please LLBean, bring them back or let us know how to purchase them if you are no longer going to sell these boots in narrow. Narrow hiking boots for women are extremely hard to find and it is so important to have well made, good fitting boots on our feet. Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfort, quality and performance I just replaced a pair I’ve had for 15 years. My only disappointment was that they no longer come in narrow. The first pair I ordered, one boot was too wide so I ordered another pair just to try and thankfully they were a better fit. Not as snug fitting as my narrows but no blisters. These are water proof, warm, give good traction and ankle support. No break in period required either. I’m a small female 60 yrs young, the boots are a little heavy if that is a concern. Feels just fine to me though. Unmatched quality. Worth the price esp since they last….
