L.L. Bean Bean Boot 8" Men's

The Maine-made, weather-ready Bean Boot customers love, now even more comfortable and durable - and in half sizes too! 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. For this style, we recommend you order a full size down from your regular shoe size. For example, if you normally wear a size 9, order a size 8. 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. Iconic chain-tread outsole is now made from an even longer-lasting rubber. Best for rain, mud and other wet conditions. Waterproof to just below the stitching on the rubber shell. Made in Maine.
