Rated 4 out of 5 by lovethosecats longer than expected
The shoe seems nice but is larger than expected. I wear a 7.5 and they fit like a size 8.

Rated 1 out of 5 by SIGHx2 poor replacement for previous incarnation

Rated 4 out of 5 by MayInNY Nice shoes but very narrow
I liked shoes a lot, nice color, material and very light. I would say it's a perfect summer sneakers, except it's very narrow. After I read others review, I ordered a size up, 7 instead of 6.5. But it's still too narrow. I don't know what to do with it yet. I like it so much and it's so cute when just look at it. But I am afraid my feet could be hurt when I walking on them.
My feet size is normal 6.5 and I ordered some ll bean kicking boots in winter they both a little wider to me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by graytona6999 Comfortable, not hot with socks, wore them all day
In these sneakers, I feel as though I'm 'walking on air'. So light and comfortable on my feet. I've been so tired of those big ole clunky sneakers. These are a great find. I'm a happy camper. Thanks, LL Bean

Rated 5 out of 5 by BeanLM Perfect!
I was hesitant to buy these shoes because of some of the reviews, but I needed a pair of waterproof sneakers so I decided to give them a try anyway. I have VERY wide feet and was concerned that these wouldn't fit well. I ordered a half size up from my usual size and they were perfect. I used them for hiking along a path that crossed a river in several places and I never slipped on rocks or anything, the shoes held up well and were very comfortable, even when they were wet. They dried out well also. Would definitely recommend these sneakers.

I bought these sneakers to replace a very worn out pair of sneakers that were on their last leg a year ago and I'd been too lazy to replace. I'm very tough on sneakers, so I decided that maybe LL Bean was the way to go. I have other products from them that I've had for years, and I hope the sneakers will be the same! They run pretty true to size; I ordered half a size up based on the reviews, but I really didn't need to. They are very comfortable. I spend a lot of the day on my feet, and was very surprised to find that my feet didn't hurt at the end of the day like with my old shoes! There are only two drawbacks to these sneakers. The first is the design. I ordered the navy blue ones, and the white section near the laces is more prominent than I thought it would be. I feel a bit like I'm wearing spats on my shoes. Another is that they're not very thick. Obviously, they were designed for spring and summer wear!

Rated 2 out of 5 by KayJay1110 Way too narrow for wide width
I have purchased these shoes previously and absolutely loved them, but the design has changed. I am wide in the toe area and these shoes were way to narrow for my feet. They might be okay if you're a C/D width, but if you're an E like me, no way. I really wanted these shoes, but had to send them back so disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by travellinggrandmother great shoes
I love these shoes; they are very comfortable for all kinds of situations. I wore them exclusively walking throughout Ireland last year. They are not bulky, like most sneakers I've purchased in the past.

Rated 4 out of 5 by menmy2es So far great shoes!
I purchased this pair of shoes after reading the reviews. I ordered a wide and my normal shoe size (10). I wouldn't usually order a wide but I am glad I did. The shoes fit perfectly and I love how light they are compared to my previous (other brand) shoes.
I wear them almost every day and my feet have not been uncomfortable once. I played soccer with my kids in them and the traction on the grass was just fine. We'll see how they hold up on our 11 day camping trip.

Rated 3 out of 5 by cashmeremom Changed style
These are not the same Vacationland Sport Sneakers I bought 2 years ago, and wear constantly. - These are tie laces, the original style which was great (LL Bean: why do you have to change a perfect product??) they had those elastic twist laces, very easy to adjust in a hurry. Plus, the new style doesn't have the opening in back, which added to overall look and also ventilation. I would have bought two pairs if they were the same as the original. These are definitely not an improvement, and are much less attractive. Please bring back original.
