LL Bean Boot Review - Everyone makes fun of pumpkin spice lattes until you try them and LL Bean Boots are the same way. They are mostly known for being a fashionable winter/fall boots but that's far from what they were designed for. The LL Bean "Bean boot" was originally designed as a hunting boot after LL Bean himself got sick of coming home from hunting trips with wet socks. So he asked a local cobbler to combine a rubber boot with a leather boot and BOOM the bean boots were born.

[@matthewsbernier]

Former Bean Boot factory worker, back again! Your knowledge of industrial processes paid off here. Indeed, that knit liner is a non-chemical mold release, that has the bonus of adding structural integrity to the rubber. You're also quite correct on the sizing: There aren't different bottom molds for lined and non-lined boots. And as anyone who's used photoshop knows, adding a uniform thickness liner to the inside of the boot doesn't result in the same shape, just smaller. It results in a slightly different interior shape, meaning a different fit. The unlined boots are made with the assumption of very thick socks, and if you wear thin socks, you may find the shaft much less supportive. I actually find mine amazing for hiking, worn with the correct sock ecosystem, a very old fashioned approach most consumers won't be aware of, or even have on hand. A word on the rubber: Soft as that rubber is, the Bean Boot rubber you have there is the harder version, meant for city streets and sidewalks. My preferred version is the softer and more flexible Maine Hunting Shoe, meant for feeling the ground while stalking. The heel and shank mean rocks won't poke your arch (Maine is very rocky), but I find the softer rubber MUCH more comfortable on my toes, and the leather tends to be a little nicer on those, also. Everything I said about a more old-fashioned approach to a sock ecosystem applies to those. Finally, if you do need waterproof, they make a gore tex version. Watching the gore tex booties get sewn up in the factory is adorable. Otherwise, yes, unless you snowseal the crap out of the stitching, they will eventually leak in standing water. But they do great in puddles and streams.

L.L Bean also used to have a lifetime replacement policy for the Bean boot. Was a great policy, but I think many people took advantage.

I have worn LLBean boots since 1971...50 years this coming Fall. Periodically, like any good outdoor boot you use waterproofing on the seems, and oil the leather tops. They last and last. 2 resoles on my 1971 boots, still have them to this day, as well as 3 more different pairs of LLBean boots. They are fantastic for what they are and do!

[@bondpit8750]

The proper wear to wear the boots is with a thicker wool sock. That helps with perspiration issues, you can also layer with a thin synthetic inner sock and wool outers. In addition, for the uninsulated edition, LL Bean offers a shearling insole you can slip into the boot which adds comfort and insulation to the bottom of the sole.

I grew up in Maine and have had a ton of these boots over the years and I like them. The biggest issue was mentioned in the video and thats sizing between styles; insulated and non insulated. I have hot feet so the last pair I had was not insulated (PSL's with no liners.) because of that I wear a 9 instead of a 10.5. Also they dont fit well. I recommend the hunting boot with thinsulate (The ones without the removable liners.) those should fit normally and be reasonably comfortable. These boots have a use timer of about 2 years before the heals goes flat and the sole is hard. So its easy to know when to re-sole them.

So happy to see you finally review these shoes! They are my favorite boots in my closet, I wanted to say that I have never had an issue with my pair when it comes to water getting in, I’ve trekked through streams where the rubber was submerged and didn’t have any problems. I do make sure to add extra boot wax on the stitching areas when maintaining them just in case, but the above information took place before I ever started caring for the leather or rubber as that was shortly after purchasing them. Little tip when it comes to maintenance, the rubber parts need Armourall Protectant on them to prevent cracking and restore shine, that comes recommended from L.L. Bean themselves and is a common question new purchasers run into.

Good review. LL Bean manufactures two types of these boots: Maine Hunting Shoe and Bean Boots. The Maine Hunting Shoe is the original style and has less support for walking on hard surfaces, but is preferred by those who wish to walk in woods, such as hunters. Bean Boots are made for walking on firm surfaces such as pavement and as you note, has a firm arch support. I’ve owned several pairs for almost 30 years, and can attest that LLBean offers resole service which can be described as nothing short of superb. When boots are returned for resole, they attempt to sew into the original stitch holes to avoid water leakage.

I’ve has mine for a couple years now and really like them. I also wanted to avoid the “the trendy bean boot” look so splurged for a flannel lined thinsulate pair with a dark colored upper. They look great. I wear mine mainly in snow and slush and they are comfortable walking a few miles in those conditions.

I actually went with the Sperry ones over these a few years back when I bought them, excited to see Sundays video to see if they're comparable.

These are my favorite shoes to just wear with thick socks in the winter! Yeah they’re “trendy” but at least it’s a quality, made in America trend.

Absolutely durable classics. I've had the same pair for 31 years. No joke.

Great review as always. I have a pair of their 6" boots and love them. My feet don't get sweaty but that's just me. They are more comfortable than all the other brands of duck boots I've tried. No issues at all with them. I am glad they resole them at a reasonable price. I thought of that as the sole is starting to thin out but the uppers are perfect. It would be shame to throw the entire boot into a landfill. LL Bean have always been a quality product, slightly pricey but not crazy as many other fashion brands. Thanks again.

Excellent video. Really looking forward to the Nick's video.

I live in Maine, and I like my bean boots, I was able to cop a geniune pair for about 60 dollars at an outlet store in Ellsworth maine, if you're looking for affordability sometimes the outlet stores have great deals.
