Whether it is in honor of something big or small, we are always up for a great party. Well, this year L.L. Bean is celebrating something huge, and with a ton of events and products planned to honor the event, it is safe to say that their 100th anniversary celebration is going to be one heck of a year long bash. We’ll definitely be profiling a number of their special 100th Anniversary products throughout the year, but the first absolutely has to be the 100th Anniversary Maine Hunting Shoe ($139).
Available for both men and women, the 100th Anniversary Maine Hunting Shoe was created to very closely resemble the first ever Maine Hunting Shoe, which just so happened to be the first product L.L. Bean brought to market. With red brick soles that haven’t been seen on Maine Hunting Shoes in ages, and a virtually untreated leather upper (don’t worry, they include a packet of Sno-Seal with each pair), these boots are definitely a blast from the past. If you feel like keeping things really old school, L.L. Bean is even including a pair of rawhide laces, in addition to a more modern set taslan laces, with these boots. Either way, just like the pair they are modeled after, the 100th Anniversary Maine Hunting Shoes will keep your feet protected and dry for years and years.
