Rated 1 out of 5 by ridinginthesun made my heel bleed!!!!
I run, walk, or hike 5+ days a week and could not find what I was looking for so, settled for llbean trail sneakers. A little stiff but comfortable untill today. My heels are bleeding after only walking 3 1/2 miles. I just put them back in box!

Like others, I wanted to like these! I even gave them 2 chances, once on a long walk, once on the treadmill at the gym. The footbeds are stiff and give no sign of loosening up. I feel as though I have big boards attached to the bottoms of my feet, clunky. No arch support either. So, guess I'll have to return and try something else.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Tuckergirl A stiff shoe
The first time I tried the shoes on they were very stiff all over. I also ordered the wide and they were tight. They looked so narrow when I took them out of the box I checked the size inside the shoe. I didn't wear them until I could stay home all day and wear them around the house. I can't wear them from morning to night, but they are getting better. I don't want to return them and I really like the elderberry color, so I'll continue to wear them for part of the day when I can. They are finally loosening up.

Rated 2 out of 5 by smurfette2013 not recommended
Not the most comfortable shoe. Laces keep coming undone and when in long walks my feet got very tired. I never felt that way with other shoes. I don't recommend this shoe for trail walking or any other.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JRTlady Love them! Fit me perfectly right out of the box.
I ordered them in black, and like the color. They are extremely comfortable. I have not tested them in wet conditions, and am hopeful they will keep my feet dry. I would recommend them to anybody. My feet don't hurt after I've worn them all day. Great dog walking with them. When my terrier trials start back up I will wear them.

Rated 1 out of 5 by MovingGrandma Not for walking
I got these shoes yesterday and put them on immediately. Before even walking in them they were stiff. I walked around the house for a couple of hours with them on. They just were so uncomfortable. They have no padding. I just couldn't imagine using them for walking the dogs on trails around the house everyday. Sadly I had to pack them up and send them back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BeanieFromOhio Love them!
I sometimes find it hard to find a comfortable sneaker, because I need a wide width and a back that isn't too high around the achilles tendon. These will fit my criteria perfectly! I wasn't sure if I should go up one size based on some of the other reviews, so I ordered my usual size and I ordered another pair one half size larger. My size fit to a tee! The area where my toes and the ball of my foot go is nice and roomy, but not loose. I love the elderberry color, so I think I'm going to keep both sizes and give the larger one to my sister. I think she will love them too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by gosox Wiggle room!
This shoe is a good choice when you want substantial footwear for walks in the woods or around the neighborhood. Not only do they come in wide, they also have a very generous "toe box" which is difficult to find. This shoe allows those of us with wide feet to also wear thicker socks for comfort without sacrificing wiggle room for our toes! I have "issues" with my feet and consequently NEVER look forward to shopping for shoes. I took a chance on these and ordered both the light sage and the elderberry in my usual size 8 wide. The width and length are true to size. The sole is rugged enough that you won't feel every little stone you encounter and you probably won't slip either. The "light sage" is actually a gorgeous blue and the "elderberry" is a rich deep purple. Thanks, L.L.Bean! These are keepers!

Rated 4 out of 5 by BeadCrazy Shoes look great but......
I have a wide foot and when I saw these shoes came in wide I was very excited. Finally a nice looking wide tennis shoe. When they arrived I tried them on and they fit and felt wide enough. After wearing them for 2 hours I couldn't wait to get them off. So I only wear them on short outings. Good quality and nice looking, just not wide enough for my feet.
