523788 L.L.Bean Men's 8 Inch Insulated Bean Boot In 1912, when 90 of his first 100 pairs of boots sold were returned, L.L.Bean's founder sent out refunds and fixed the problem. They have followed in his footsteps, listening to customers and making improvements while staying true to everything that makes Bean Boots legendary. Best of all, they're still sewn in Maine - one pair at a time - by expert craftspeople. Whoever says, "they don't build things like they used to," doesn't own a pair of these. Comfort Level: Warmer - best for complete comfort on cold winter days Best for rain, mud and other wet conditions Updated high-quality supple leather upper gets even better with time. Lace-up design with six sets of brass eyelets per boot for a secure fit. Innovative triple-needle stitching provides long-lasting durability. Upgraded dual-density insole offers enhanced comfort and cushion all-day long. Uniquely shaped foot form offers comfort and stability, and a steel shank adds support. Waterproof rubber boot bottom keeps feet dry Waterproof to just below the stitching on the rubber shell. Rubber bottom lined with 200 grams of insulation for extra-cozy warmth. Iconic chain-tread outsole is now made from an even longer-lasting rubber. Made in Maine Size & Fit For this style L.L.Bean recommends you order a half size down from what you would normally wear.
