Rugged Wellie Chelsea Boots

Very comfortable and snug enough around the ankle to not let rain in

The boot is really cute, just not true to size for me.. I wish they had them in a size 11.5 or a 12

The fit was not true to size for me..Felt a little tight for an 11(sz) Also if you have a thick ankle, the top is uncomfortable...Overall, the boot is soo cute and fashionable, wish they came in half size or up to sz 12

The sole split: The sole split after a dozen wares. I did really like them prior to this.

Love these boots! Very high quality, comfortable, and the perfect color. They are true to size. I highly recommend!

I got mine today, and the tab in the back pretty much immediately ripped out as I was pulling them on. Pretty disappointed. I put on the other one and it was certainly comfortable, but if the tabs are just decorative then these won't work for me.

I bought these about 1.5 years ago for work. I'd only wear them if it was raining or snowing, so I'd say they got about 10-20 total wears. I received many compliments on them, they were convenient, and kept my feet dry. About a month ago I threw them on to take my dog out in the rain and suddenly my foot was wet. I realized the bottom of the boot had split from the sole. When I think of LL Bean, I think of durability, so I was disappointed when these boots, which hadn't gotten much use, were unusable so soon. They were good enough when intact that I'm considering getting another pair, but if I find a close alternative option I'd go with that out of fear I'd have to buy a new pair next year.

I purchased a pair of these boots in late October 2025. I wore them every day to walk my puppy in our field. About a month ago, my feet started feeling wet while walking and I discovered a separation between the sole and footbed in the rubber seam. I did a quick dot of glue and they were fine...until today, as I tried to pull them on the pull-on strap in the back came right out. I have never been disappointed with a product from LL Bean, until today. I do not recommend this boot.

Ive been looking for an ankle high boot for those dewy mornings and rainy summer days. Something also nice enough to wear to town. I wanted a neoprene boot but had some difficulties with fit being too narrow and marginally long enough, and most were more then I really wanted to spend. I saw these on the internet and dismissed them because they only got 3 stars and change and they weren't neoprene. I was able to try them on at a local store however and quickly changed my mind. They fit my feet perfectly and I can wear a light or a medium weight wool sock comfortably. I wear a standard 8 shoe, sometimes 8.5 in a boot. If I have issues it's because of a tight toe box in some styles. These are not heavy nor clunky, they look in fact narrow, my foot doesn't move around, width and toe space as one would want and expect. I was worried about getting them on and off but they slip on easily using the pull tabs and remove super easy and quick using my other foot on the heel. Ive worn them all day working in the yard, and my feet stayed very comfortable and also surprised that my feet didn't sweat in the 80 degrees. The foot bed is very comfy too. The gentleman at the store advised to wear taller socks so the tops don't rub, but it hasn't been a problem. I wore them on a rainy morning with jeans to a dr appointment and got several compliments on them. I'm pleased with the overall construction, sole and quality of these boots. Overall extremely happy with my purchase and would recommend. Of note, I got the navy which looks great with jeans.

I love this boot for the summer rain. I wear it when I go puddle splashing with my grandson. They aren't too warm for the summer rains so they are really nice. The only reason I didn't give them a 5 is that are very clunky and look large on my foot. I guess that's the style though.
