Any other of you a fan of LL Bean Duck Boots?

[TPC]

Still hand made in Maine for 110 years. Come with a card signed by the person that made them.

Finally had to order a new pair.
Shearling lined.
They can easily last a decade. You can send them in to be rebuilt too.

Occasionally a coat of Kiwi water proofer -good to go.

I wear them at the dunes, off roading, traveling in bad weather, working about the house great in the rain. Feet warm and dry.

Not particularly a hiking boot for most but for some it works.
Norway has announced banning diesel ships from the Fjords is still in the process so our girls are talking up on last cruise ship visit to hike the snowy, wet, “romantic” story book trails.

Girls use “Eastwing Knots.” Laces side-tied, not the traditional bow so they can step-in slipper style:

Works for them. Chix stuff.

LL Bean “gumsole” Duck boots as my dad still calls them.
A tradition in our family for 96 years.

Any other fans?

Probably not around here... Most of these guys consider socks with sandals as "winter foot wear".... LOL...

I've never considered a pair, though people rave about the LL Bean boots all the time. They all can't be wrong...

What is there intended purpose?

The pull on / slip on version is perfect for desert camping... snow blowing... winter walks with the dog... like UGG's but more rugged and less goofy to be seen wearing in public. Great boot. We've got a few LL Bean products that are on their 3rd generation of users. I miss reading their paper catalogs.

Aloha

Cold, wet, muddy conditions.

I grew up wearing Sorels to high school in Wyoming! Hahahaha! I was one of the few kids with warm and dry feet.
