L.L.Bean Boots for Men

L.L.Bean Boots for Men

For hiking or hunting enthusiasts, a durable pair of boots is essential. Your footwear should be both comfortable and protective. Headquartered in Maine, L.L.Bean boots for men are classic duck boots, also known as Bean boots, that can help make your outdoor adventures more enjoyable.

A duck boot is similar to a shoe and was once nicknamed Maine's hunting boot. It's made with a combination of comfortable leather and waterproof rubber. The leather uppers are flexible so that you can move around easily. Whether you're walking, running, climbing, or crouching, your boots will move with you. Meanwhile, the boot's rubber bottom keeps your feet dry by preventing rain, snow, and mud from seeping through.

For cold weather wear, insulated boots are a good choice. They are made to keep you warm in temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. An L.L.Bean signature product is a shearling-lined design that can keep your feet warm in sub-zero temperatures. The lining, especially when worn together with a thick pair of socks, provides adequate insulation to keep you warm in most weather conditions. You can also find L.L.Bean shoes with flannel lining.

The appropriate size to order depends on the type of boot that you want.

• If you need basic, insulated boots, then a pair in your regular size should fit.
• For activities in extremely cold weather, you'll need enough room to wear heavy socks. If you like a snug fit, then your regular size may work. You can also wear the same boots in warm temperatures; your feet will enjoy additional air circulation.
• Uninsulated boots can be ordered a full size smaller than the insulated ones.

In addition to the original L.L.Bean design, the company produces boots in different colors and heights. They also release special editions to stay in line with your changing tastes. Look for variations in these features:

• Tread patterns: Whether you like a chain-link, lug sole, or another tread pattern, you're likely to find what you want.
• Lacing styles: Many L.L.Bean boots have eyelets without hooks, but you can get slip-on designs. For light hiking, you may go with a pair of chukkas that have open lacing and a few eyelets.
• Height: Some boot styles are ankle-high while others rise to the mid-shin. The most suitable height for you depends on your level of outdoor activity.
• Color: While some men like the original two-tone appearance, others prefer a solid color. Brown boots are quite common, but black is well-liked, too. Fashionable designs bring in other shades for an updated look.
