Just like the old ones, only bigger
The boots are a moderate height- adequate for all but the rare snow storm (climate change) in Indiana. The boots are also good for wet, muddy situations. My new boots are just as well made as the pair they replaced (15+ years) which were only replaced because my feet have grown.
At first, the front of one boot pushed into my shin, but after bending the leather and wearing the boots for short periods, they are now comfortable.
The one thing that was slightly disappointing is the quality of the laces. They seem thinner and wimpy compared to the old shoes’ laces, and the lace tips are not solidly sealed so they may soon start to fray. Overall though, excellent boots.

Terrific, purchase/great value
Sizing recommendation from L.L. Bean was helpful. I normally wear a 9 1/2 and sometimes 10 and the guidelines indicated to size down which was perfect. Quality is everything I remember from my last pair, which I bought many years ago.

Went with the tumbled-leather instead
I returned these. I wasn’t a fan of the sewn-in tongue, and the hard collar rubbed uncomfortably. I went with the tumbled leather instead. They were well worth the extra expense. They’re easier to get on/off, and the padded collar doesn’t rub.
I typically wear a women’s 9.5W shoe. I’ve found that a size 9 is best for me in Bean boots. The medium (B) width is fine—no need to go with the D. The 9s are a little long, but the 8s are a little short. I wish they came in half sizes.
Please always keep Bean boots Made in Maine!

Needed to be broken in but comfortable overall
I have never owned L.L. Bean brand clothing or shoes. I have other rain boots but nothing that I could wear with multiple outfits. After several hours of searching, reading reviews, and price points, I decided on these for an international trip (where I don't want to have to pack too many shoes). First, the look and style of these shorter boots was the most appealing. However, I never wanted to sacrifice comfort either. These got overall great reviews on comfort right out of the box.
When I opened the box, I was really happy with the look and quality. As I tried them on, I immediately noticed that the leather upper was really tough. The footbed has ample room for my problematic hammer toe. Being a size 6 - 6.5, the size 6 was the right fit.
I decided to wear these to work on a rainy day to break them in and will continue to do so until the leather gets a little more pliable. I would also recommend bending them with your hands some to soften up the upper leather. Throughout the day I felt them rubbing on the front part of my ankles. I think I left them too loose and as I tightened them the leather didn't rub as much. The rubbing caused some discomfort but no blisters. Once I take them off, I will continue to bend them to soften the leather a bit in those areas.
Overall after wearing them during an 11 hour shift with over 10,000 steps for the day, I am happy with my purchase and feel confident these will be great use on my trip and good rainy day weather shoes. I purchased these during a sale but I am willing to say they are worth the price as good investment rain boots.

My best winter boots
These are the best boots I've ever bought for snow. They are water resistant and buying the next size up means I have enough room for thick socks.

Great boots
The boots are well made and comfortable. I followed the suggested size chart and bought a size 7. I typically wear a 7 1\2. They fit perfectly, with thick socks.

Until the boots are “broken in” they are uncomfortable around my ankles.

Skimped on height.
Not quite as high as the 6" bean boot I purchased years ago. At least it is still made in the USA>

Stylishly comfortable and practical
Very comfy boots! I bought one size up so I can wear a thicker sock. This boot is the perfect in between boot and does keep the snow out.

Great purchase
Great boot. Comfortable and warm. Bought a size smaller than I normally wear, as it runs big.

I got tired of taking my old bean boots back and forth from CO to ME. So I left the good ole ones in Maine and bought a new pair for CO. Best rainy year round boot!

The next 30 years
I finally replaced the pair I’ve had for 30 years. Still the same great quality, though I do miss the shearling insole.

Had to get narrow
I tried every size known to man! The narrow boots fit me best. The weather has softened up substantially, and they are very comfortable! I find myself throwing them on every time it rains!

Not what they used to be
Quality was off. Stitching was loose, stitching coming apart, excess glue and upper separating.

This is an addition to several other pairs of LLBean boots I have. I wear these to bathe my horse and they are perfect in keeping my feet dry. I keep another pair in my car and two pair at home for wet rainy conditions. I have worn LLBean boots forever and I can’t say enough good things about them!!

Love my new Bean boots
Terrific boot. Great fit and perfect gardening shoe. I am usually snug in a 7 1/2 medium width, but often need either an 8 or 7 1/2 wide. I wear thick socks when I garden. I went to the store to try on the size 7and it fits exactly the way I want it to fit. I've worn it in the garden every day since purchase and I love 'em.

These Boots Rock!
I own and love a pair of the rubber moccasin version of Bean Boots (my primary gardening shoe), so I immediately chose the 6" boots when I needed something for birding expeditions. No more sopping wet feet--I even forded a shallow stream in these--and better protection against ticks. Totally comfortable from the first wearing, even with my wide feet and a bunion. I totally recommend these boots!

Midnight Rain
I recently attended the Taylor Swift Rain Show at Gillette Stadium (IYKYK). It wasn't just a few Teardrops On My Guitar kind of rain, it was Treacherous. Mother Nature was looking for Revenge! I was dancing like a Mad Woman on the Holy Ground, I mean really Shaking It Off for over 3.5 as the rain got Crazier. In my Wildest Dreams, I did not think my boots would Tolerate the water but my feet stayed Safe and Sound. These boots are a true Love Story, they really are The 1 and I had The Best Day. As for all the other boots in my life We Are Never Getting Back Together.

Unsatisfactory
After only about a month of wearing this boot, a stick punctured a hole in the side of the boot and cut my foot, left a bruise. I would have expected it to stand up to a twig. I returned the boots, thankful that was easy to do and purchased a different type of boot.

Comfortable Fit, Low Cut, Waterproof & Cool
I was worried reading some reviews about the stiffness of these boots - I bought 1 size down and wide, they fit perfectly. They are somewhat stiff but that shows the quality of the leather, wearing them with thick socks makes them easy to break in and I’m excited to farm in these boots.
I like them as an alternative to full on rubber boots especially when it’s hot but the soil is still muddy.
And wow made in USA, great to see big companies staying true to their values!
