*** Sizing Note: LL Bean’s sizes run large! See last two photos. LL Bean Recommends sizing down from your regular shoe size. To ensure perfect fit, I’ve included dimensions of the inner foot pad!*** Construction • Updated high-quality supple leather upper gets better with time. • Innovative triple-needle stitching provides long-lasting durability. • Lace-up design provides secure, customizable fit. • 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. • Iconic chain-tread outsole is now made from a longer-lasting rubber. Weather Protection • Best for rain, mud and other wet conditions. • Waterproof to just below the stitching or the rubber shell. • Made in Maine. Why We Love It In 1912, when 90 of his first 100 pairs of boots sold were returned, our founder, L.L., sent out refunds and fixed the problem. We've 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 right here 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.
