Customer Reviews for L.L.Bean Men's Urban Storm Waterproof Insulated Mid Boots With PrimaLoft
View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
The boots offer good warmth, comfort, and traction, but many customers reported significant issues with the fit and ease of getting the boots on, describing them as extremely difficult or impossible to put on. Several reviewers mentioned problems with the tongue and gusset design, which restricted the ability to flex the boot and get the foot inside. While the majority of customers seemed satisfied with the boots' performance and quality once they were able to get them on, the consistent complaints about the challenging fit and entry process suggest this is a significant design flaw that detracts from the overall user experience.

We bought these one week ago for my son who is away at college. He has barely worn them and the metal laces hook has already pulled off. He needs boots and is nowhere near a store.

These boots are great once you fight to get them on. The tongue is stitched to high to allow enough flex to get them on. I probably should have returned them.
