The Original LL Bean Boots... Review of the 8" and 10" tall versions.

Quick review of some LL Bean boots I've been wearing over the last year. Leather boots? Rubber boots? These maybe the best of both? Any questions let me know and I'll get back to you. Like and Subscribe if this helped in anyway...Thank You!

I love my Bean Boots. Amazing for dealing with the wet weather.

I wasn't sure how I'd like them at 1st, but after 2 pair I'm definitely a believer...thx for the comment!

I have a pair of the 8" insulated flannel lined that I recently got but they really only fit good with thick socks. I did get them for the snow though so it's not necessarily a bad thing, but I wanted a pair that fit better and that are unlined. I got looking on ebay and got myself 2 pair. Both vintage. Got an 8" and a 10" and both are in excellent shape. I'm hoping they fit good. Can't wait for them to show up! I got them for a great price so I decided why not grab them both. Thanks for the video. Glad you enjoy the bean boots!

Yeah I have to wear thicker socks with these too...just fills the boot out and makes for a better fit/feel all around. Thx for the comment man!

You would be happy to know that they currently make these with cortex and insulation (Thinsulate) 200 grams. Plus? You can actually have them resolved for around $43 😊 I have the same boots and just got a new pair because I didn’t have the Gore-Tex ones before. thank you for the great review, and have a happy new year

[@trod7374]

Good to know! Thanks for the info and comment man! Have a happy new year to you as well!

*Gortex lol talk to txt typo. *Resoled another typo. You’re welcome, thank you and you as well 🙏

[@jaywalker2012]

You can send then in to get resoled for like $50

[@Nick_2i]

Worth noting that you need proof of purchase do get them resoled, so if you bought them years ago and lost the receipt, you're out of luck

A 40 dollar resole is very attractive. I resoled my rubber soles to leather, and now they squeek after a 115$ resole Bean boots sound like a good value in comparison

[@rhymeandreasoning]

Would be great to see a try on video of those 10" boots.

[@trod7374]

Have some new Thorogood boots I'm running right now. Here in a few weeks I'll work on a try on review of those. Maybe I'll do a try on of the 10" Bean boots as well.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

@@trod7374 Looking forward to seeing your Thorogood boots. And more of those Bean boots. I am wanting to get a pair of those Bean boots. Especially since Spring season will be soon here. Wishing you a great Tuesday T Rod 👊

[@edwinglazaro539]

Hey trod how would you rate your 1957 thorogood you did a video on thinking of getting a pair

[@trod7374]

They were great boots. Those were style 814-4141. I'm currently in Thorogood 814-3800. Same boot basically. Waterproof, 8" tall, dark leather. The ones I have now have the white wedge sole vs the dark traditional lug sole on the old ones. New boots have a narrower fit and feel which I prefer. The old ones seemed a little roomy. I'm a skinner guy so I appreciate the narrower new ones. It's not a huge difference, but noticeable in my opinion. I'm totally satisfied with the new boots and will be doing a 3 mth review soon!! Midwestboots.com is where I search and buy from. I also run Iron Laces from Amazon and Rite Aid sole inserts. These are definitely my new favorite boots for sure! Any other questions just hit me up. 👍

[@edwinglazaro539]

@@trod7374 thank you so much for the quick response, I’m definitely going to pull the trigger on them

[@southern_pride0]

the reason your boots are wearing so much is because they’re too soft for your application. you shouldn’t wear those on concrete because they’re meant for hunting not out on the town

[@trod7374]

I knew the sole was soft, but definitely comfortable when you're on your feet all day working. They actually held up well with my lawn and landscaping work I do daily. 10 to 15 lawns a day solo will put boots to the test. Always looking to test what manufacturers are putting out. I'm currently wearing Thorogood's and there sole is wearing similar. 👍
