Traditional design over years of innovation

L.L.Bean's legendary, Maine-made 8-inch Men's Bean Boots -- designed by "L.L." himself -- have been keeping feet dry and comfortable since 1912. Chances are, you’ll only ever need one pair. Whoever says “they don’t build things like they used to,” doesn't own these boots. Today, the signature boots are still sewn right in Maine – one pair at a time – by expert craftspeople whose technical skills and passion for their work is evident in every pair of boots they make. Warm, dry feet haven’t gone out of style in a hundred years, so L.L.Bean hasn't needed to change the innovative design.
