Product Details
The Maine Hunting Shoe was "L.L." Bean's first product, introduced in 1912. Over the years, we've made lots of improvements, but hunters told us they missed the moccasin-like feel that our original boots had in the woods. So we brought it back.
- With light or midweight socks: Whole sizes, order one size down. Half sizes, order 1½ size down. Example: 9 or 9½, order a size 8. With heavyweight socks: Whole sizes, order your normal size. Half sizes, order one size down. Example: 9 or 9½, order a size 9.
With a moccasin-like sole that lets you feel the forest floor beneath your feet, a taller 12" height for extra coverage and a waterproof upper, we carefully considered every detail of these Maine-made boots. As one customer told us, "These boots fit like they have over a 100 years of effort put into the design."
- Premium waterproof leather upper.
- Steel shank for superior lateral and arch support.
- Handstitched and checked for quality.
- New sole provides improved traction and durability.
- Leather molds to your leg for a custom fit.
- Not designed to stay submerged in water.
- Laces not waterproof.
- Moccasin-like, flexible sole allows you to feel the forest floor.

Gone But Not Forgotten
That a pair of the 16 inch L.L. Bean boots that I wore hunting and hiking through all sorts of mud, dirt, pools of water, etc. for about 25 or 30 years. They went back to being wants to have the soles replaced (with a slightly larger size) when they became very worn. They looked brand new when they came back. Eventually, they got tossed, but not by me! after living in Texas for over 40 years, I eventually moved to Gonzales, Louisiana, close to my hometown of Baton Rouge. It is wet here a lot, and I really miss my boots. I may be ordering a new set soon. One tip: get the shearling liners!

made in USA
Bought these for going on 3d archery shoots where there's a lot of mud and water. First shoot sunk in mud to the top of the boot and no leaks. Boots are very comfortable, light weight and well made.

Initial Review Out Of The Box
Size-wise: I wear about a 10/Wide, normally. I'm going to wear these to the bee yard all summer long and expect to wear ordinary socks, so I sized down to a 9, as suggested. Although I have a wide foot, the flexible portion of this boot allows for my width just fine. I just don't see any problems width-wise going forward.
The height isn't what I'd expected. I have a broken right tibia that, due to the method of healing, has left me with a chunk of bone that noticably sticks out. I ordered the 12" because when I measured from the sole up, the top of the 10" boot looked as though it was going to rest smack dab on the jutting bone. Turns out, the top of the 12" boot rests... you guessed it. So I was a little surprised there, but I'm willing to work around it.
The leather appears to be full grain. I can't say this with any certainty, but I know the leather's a little stiff (a good thing) and it looks like it's going to take a little breaking in (also a good thing if you're playing the long game; I am).
Finally, the laces. They're comically short. I have bird legs and the laces are STILL short. No, I mean they're REALLY short. Looks like I'm going to be lacing my L.L. Bean classic boots with Wal-Mart laces. Of course I'm going to tell EVERYBODY this.
All in all though, my first impression is that I got lucky, size-wise, and otherwise I think I just bought a seriously nice pair of boots (minus the freakishly short laces).

Great boots and very comfortable!
I bought the Maine hunting boots with the 12” uppers about 2 years ago. They have been very durable and keep them wiped down periodically with a good leather conditioner to keep them soft and pliable. A very good investment for the price!

Great hunting boot if used properly
I do a fair amount of hunting, mostly birds in Texas and South Dakota and these boots have been great. Super light and comfortable but need to be realistic about your sock choices. Being rubber bottom, I suggest a PU sock liner and then a merino wool sock. This will keep you warm and dry moving sweat away from your skin when hiking or sitting in a blind. To keep them the most water resistant I can, I use a beeswax leather treatment and heavy around the triple stitching.
Don't let this scare you off in the least! I do this with all my hunting boots, but afraid many reviewers aren't sure how to do these things or expect way too much from an unlined boot lol.
The only knock is give is they don't have much ankle support so pretty easy to twist an ankle if you step in a hole while looking for pheasant
