The upland hunting boots are generally comfortable, well-designed, and durable for a range of outdoor activities. However, some customers have reported issues with the waterproofing, with feet getting wet in light rain or damp conditions. Additionally, a few customers noted concerns about the quality and construction, such as fraying laces, thin toe caps, and torn fabric linings. The boots may be suitable for dry upland hunting, but may not perform as well in wet or damp environments.
The boots were soft and did not need breaking in Fit perfect to size and soft

I bought these boots for upland hunting. The support system was failed after 20 uses. These boots do not hold up. I expected better from LL Bean.

They seem to be well made boots. I sent them back because the height and weight of the soles was a bit much. Kind of defeats the purpose of kangaroo boots for me. The lugs are a

The inner lining began to tear at the heel after a few months. From the get go, they dig into your heel/achilles a lot and leave blisters. The laces are also way too thick for the

Excellent, comfortable boot. The only “complaint” I have is the laces seem too thick to fit the hooks. I got a pair for Christmas last year, with that same issue. I figured someone

Virtually no break-in time needed. Wore them two full days in the yard and that seemed be all that was necessary for the soles to get worked in. The leather was quite supple from

This boot works well for me as a field boot. It is a light weight boot with a good tread. I'm an older man, and I need a good tread on a boot for sure footing.
