Quack

So, I was on the hunt for some new boots that would be able to withstand this horrid weather we've been having... and it dawned on me. Duck boots, duh.

My main criteria was that they had to be 
1. Long Lasting
2.Cute
3.Go with almost anything
4.Practical
5.Water/snow/slush proof.

Duck or "bean" boots fits all of these needs and more.

  • Our signature boots are still sewn here in Maine and have stood the test of time
  • Thinsulate™ Insulation olefin/polyester for extra warmth in the rubber part of the boot
  • Supportive steel shank and rubber chain-tread bottom provide comfort and traction
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. A supportive steel shank and our original rubber chain-tread bottom give you unmatched comfort and performance. 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. Thinsulate™ Insulation olefin/polyester in rubber bottom for extra warmth during cold snaps."
They come in a few different colors and heights, and you can even get fur lined ones!

For my purposes, I thought these were the best for me:

They are the 8" tan, original Maine Hunting Boot.


Here are pix from my Instagram on how I wore them!
