L.L.Bean Bean Boots, 8" by L.L.Bean
The Buy Me Once Verdict
The only rubber boot we found that its maker will repair. Bean Boots are still sewn by hand in Maine: a waterproof rubber bottom stitched to a full-grain leather upper. When the chain tread wears smooth or the rubber cracks, send them back and L.L.Bean fits a new bottom for $49, or $59 insulated. Keep the leather fed and one pair can last a lifetime of slush.
The weakest link it solves: Cracked rubber and worn tread, which end every other rubber boot. Here the whole rubber bottom is a spare part.
Read why we picked it in our boots guide.
