With leaves falling and rain that will soon be snow, it is the perfect time to start thinking about a new pair of boots for the season. Of course, there are plenty of boots out there that look great and are super comfortable, but, in our opinion, boots should be also be something that you aren’t afraid to get dirty in once in a while. For anything outdoors, our first stop tends to be L.L. Bean, and their Waxed Canvas Maine Hunting Shoe ($129) from the L.L. Bean Signature Collection offers a great blend of style and function.
The L.L. Bean Signature Collection has taken a number of classics from the L.L. Bean archives and added a few new touches for today’s world. In fact, the Maine Hunting Shoe was the first thing that L.L. Bean ever offered for sale back in 1912. With a traditional “duck boot” look, the Waxed Canvas Maine Hunting Shoe features a rubberized lower to keep your feet nice and dry, and a light weight waxed canvas upper that offers some moisture protection without being too bulky or hot. These boots leave plenty of room for a great pair of wool socks for the coldest of days, but are light enough to be worn out in the elements no matter what the temperature might be. For work or play, the Waxed Canvas Maine Hunting Shoe will keep you looking good on the nastiest of days.
