These boots are in professionally refurbished condition- I had them re-soled and re-insulated by L.L Bean and haven’t used them. The soles (the entire one-piece rubber bottom), quilted insulated/waterproof lining, insole, and laces are all brand new! These are a timeless classic- perennially in fashion and functional in varied conditions. Price is firm- LL Bean is no longer offering Bean Boots in Gore-Tex!!
