LL Bean, Bean Boots

[Charlie Delta]

First of all, Massive thanks to Hawkeye for making possible that these found their way to me!

So as I said before, I found a pair of the buckled boots ("Loungers") on ebay, and couldn't resist them. There were quite a couple of pairs of these in different conditions when I looked.

I went for a US9, for reference I wear a US10 in Nike etc.

When I first slipped them on they felt awfully small, turned out the previous owner had worn them with an insole, and after taking that out they fit perfect.

Actually they are so comfortable that I've worn them quite a couple of times already, while there is no snow or real cold weather. While they might not be the "prettiest" shoes ever, the comfort really makes up for that, they are litteraly like houseshoes/slippers for outside.

And yes, I am indeed trigger happy with my camera!

And especially for Hawkeye, the lining.

Look out for these worn in my waywts...

Cotton, Awesome!!!

Mine definately have no lining like that, wonder if I could rig something up...

The strap on the back of mine is different also, it loops around into the boot then down under the insole.

^the laced ones are just as good i think. I love my bison boots, cooler leather texture and nicer color than the normal ones imo. Ive been wearing them alot with slimmer jeans tucked into them, which is really practical and comfortable. Looks rather lumberjack:ish, but i deal with it..

Am wearing them right now as we speak, have a bit of an "Ugg syndrome" with them, they're not very pretty but they are so comfortable that I'm tempted to wear them everyday...

i like that "uggness" of the boots. Its a damn shame these arent for sale anymore..

Do you have any fit pics with the slims tucked into the boots?

^^ no, sorry I dont have a camera anymore. I obviously dont wear them with skinny jeans though, but rather edwin nashville/47s style.
