  • Our take on the L.L.Bean Men's Bean Boots, 8" Maine Hunting Shoe

    The L.L.Bean Maine Hunting Shoe is the original uninsulated Bean Boot: a waterproof leather upper stitched to a rubber chain-tread bottom, with a steel shank for support. The 8-inch version is the middle height, easier to pull on than the 10-inch and with more coverage than the 6-inch. It is a wet-weather and light-trail boot, not a mountain hiker, and its simple construction is why owners keep pairs for decades. Reviewers say it runs large and needs thick socks, and that the unlined version is not warm enough for deep winter without an insulated sock or liner.

    Pros
    • Waterproof leather upper with a rubber bottom keeps feet dry in slush and mud
    • Steel shank and arch support give a stable, supportive footbed
    • Chain-tread sole grips well on wet grass, mud and snow
    • Simple build can be sent back to L.L.Bean for resoling
    • Unlined leather breaks in to the foot over time
    Cons
    • Runs large; many buyers size down a full size
    • Uninsulated version is cold in real winter
    • Stiff and heavy out of the box, with a break-in period
    • Laces and leather need care; the boot is not fully waterproof above the rubber line
    • Limited ankle support for rough terrain

    Questions and answers

    How does the 8-inch compare with the 6-inch and 10-inch Bean Boots?
    The 8-inch sits in the middle: more coverage and splash protection than the 6-inch, but easier to pull on and less restrictive than the 10-inch. Choose the 6-inch for mild weather and the 10-inch for deep snow and brush.
    Should I size down?
    Yes, most buyers go down a full size from their normal shoe size. The unlined leather stretches and the boot is cut roomy for thick socks.
    Is it warm enough for winter?
    The standard Maine Hunting Shoe is uninsulated, so it suits fall and mild winter. For cold weather, get the insulated version or wear heavy wool socks.
    Is it fully waterproof?
    The rubber bottom and waterproof leather keep feet dry in wet conditions, but water can enter at the laces and collar in deep water. Treat the leather and avoid wading above the rubber line.
    Can the boots be repaired?
    Yes. L.L.Bean resoles and repairs Bean Boots, which is a big reason owners keep them for years.
    What is it best for?
    Wet-weather walking, dog walks, yard work and light bird hunting. It is not a substitute for a stiff mountaineering or heavy work boot.
    Where is the L.L.Bean Men's Bean Boots, 8" Maine Hunting Shoe cheapest?
    At L.L.Bean, for $160.00, as of our latest check.
