An avid outdoorsman, Leon Leonwood Bean wanted to create a comfortable, dry pair of boots for tromping through the backwoods of Maine. Today our signature boots are still sewn right here in Maine, one pair at a time, from premium full-grain leather. Thinsulate Insulation olefin/polyester for extra warmth during cold snaps. Waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex® lining keeps your feet dry and comfortable in extreme wet weather. A supportive steel shank and our original rubber chain-tread bottom give you unmatched comfort. While many boots on the market might look similar to L.L.Bean Boots, they lack the attention to detail and the premium-quality materials that have allowed ours to stand the test of time.
The fit of the L.L.Bean Boot is generous to allow for insulation in cold weather.
