Excellent hunting boots
I’ve had a pair or multiple pairs of bean boots since I was 12-14 and 53 now. By far my favorite hunting boots. You can feel sticks under your feet and not break them. They are about as close to Indian moccasins as you can get in a water proof boot. Just make sure you use snow seal on them every year. You can walk almost silent in these boots and still be comfortable. No popping or noise as with the other brand rubber boots. If you are a stalk hunter or turkey hunter these boots are the best by far. Love some LL Bean boots. Make sure you get the hunting boot.

Très confortable
J’ai acheté ces bottes il y a plus de 40 et je les adores. Il y a 15 ans j’ai fait changer la partie caoutchouc en envoyant la partie cuir chez LL Bean pour une seconde vie.

Most practicable outdoor footwear available
I have used the Maine Hunting shoe as my standard gear for outdoor activity in the mountains since the late 1980's. They last a long time, are comfortable but most of all, protect my feet in al weather conditions. Everyone that rides horses in the backcountry should own a pair of these~!

Owned since mid 80s
I purchased two pairs of these boots( the tall ones) in 86! They were a G_d send in the AK bush where we homesteaded(a pair for me and one for my love,the future mother of my child) a beautiful valley surrounded by tall mountains. However there exists miles of muskeg bog and these were perfect for spring through fall! Not cold weather boots but perfect for the warm months between! I highly recommend both these boots and the speed lace hooks! Do also purchase the wool insoles! Thank you so very much, thinking of purchasing another pair!!! I would prefer 18- 20 in tall to the 16in but I'll take what I can get!!! Excellent product!!!

Perfect tall boots
Perfect for that early spring turkey hunt where you may need a tall boot for protection. Certainly great for summer treks when the snakes are out and moving in woods. Sturdy, we'll built but comfortable.

Traditional Style Boots
Bought these for the traditional style that they represent. Nice pebble grain leather tops are a little more supple to hug your leg/calves. Previous reviews have stated that the leather laces are too short to lace up to the top. Not so. Mine came with 84" long laces. More than enough to lace all the way up. Soles appear to be more flexible on this model. Don't know if they have the steel shank in these or not. Overall typical L.L Bean quality. Have other Bean boots in size 8, but got these in size 9 so I could wear much thicker socks for fall/winter weather. Also added thermal insoles. Consider putting some sort of beeswax dressing on the seams where the leather and rubber are sewn to help keep water out. Great American made product.

By the best, and you will never be disappointed
The best hunting boot ever made was 40 years ago when I bought my first pair, and now my second pair in the later stages of life. True to size when you follow L.L. Bean guidance.

This will be my sixth pair with four "retreads"
Have used these 16 inch boots for over 40 years. This includes four retreads. I am retired and do lots of quail hunting in the Carolinas. Our season is a little over 3 months and I hunt 3-4 days a week in lots of thickets and wet ground. These boots are well worth the price.

Where’s the 16-inch shearling-lined version?
I received these boots for Christmas and they seem like they’ll be excellent winter boots for walking around the city, but I would appreciate a shearling-lined 16” version for those truly miserable winter todays.

Disappointing
Bought these for my son. Day 1 they leaked at the seam between upper and boot. Got them replaced. Still leak. told they are not waterproof. who cares if they have a Waterproof lower and waterproof upper if the seam between the two is not waterproof. Essentially the 16 inch boot is only is only waterproof to the seam between the rubber and leather , so 3 inches.

Hunting boots?
Nice traditional looking boots. This boot should come with hooks for laces on the upper 1/2 of the boots. Also a good vibram sole would improve traction. Leather uppers offer great protection for busting brush but need care. Buy a good leather treatment. Also sealskinz knee socks will keep your feet warm & dry. Nice boots for fall hunting. But for the price their are better options.

Exactly what I expected from Ll Bean boots , they’re very very quiet in the woods , they fit exactly like the description says and will certainly keep your feet dry , The laces could’ve been a foot longer in my opinion

Great boot. Only worn them in the woods twice so far . Very comfortable and great fit. Only thing i would say that would be an improvement is longer laces would make things a little easier. Have to unlace halfway down the boot to get on and off

20 year review, almost
After almost 20 years, they are still going strong! I really almost only ever wear them while hunting. After 10 seasons in Montana and 9 1/2 seasons in Mississippi, they need a new set of bottoms. The heel is mostly worn and the instep is half worn. They fit right from the first time that I put them on and still fit right today. The leather has now the perfect scuffed, faded, patina. After hunting season ends, they’ll be headed to Maine for some freshening-up. Have, do, and will continue to love them!

Great boot
Great product made in Maine. These boots are extremely comfortable. I do suggest the thermal insole addition for comfort and warmth. Marino sock liner and Marino wool heavy outer sock gives this boot a warm and supportive feel. Can walk in these boots all da with no issues. I do wish these boots were 18" because of water, but they are still great.

Fell in Love
I bought these for hunting and rustic camping footwear and fell in love out the gate. I can sneak thru the woods as if I'm wearing moccasins. I can feel the branches and twigs under my feet. They are water proof and with a litte extra care to the leather by adding a tallow coating they are even more so. Pair of wool socks and slow moving my feet stay nice and warm. They do take getting use to and they don't offer much ankle support and can take time to lace up. { I replaced factory laces with 550 cord } I would say that's the only problem i have is that factory laces are to short. I would love for ll bean to release a liner for these boots and they would be perfect.

I have grown to dislike these
They have a lot of faults but the worst are that they take forever to put on and take off and the ankles collapse so they rub your ankle or heel.

Great product, but seriously??
Just got my 16 inch boots today, just exactly what I need for the swamps in Northern Minnesota. Perfect, except for one tiny detail - the laces that come with the boots are several inches too short. Really, how much would it cost to include laces that fit the boots?

Had these for 3 years
I've been wearing these for about 3 years now and they're great. I'm not talking about wearing them on the occasional hunting/ fishing trip, but pretty much every day in the fall, winter, spring, and sometimes in the summer.
When I got them they were a bit large (the ankles are fine but there's over an inch of space in front of my toe). I don't mind though, since they stay on my feet and I always wear these with 1-2 pairs of thick wool socks (usually the L. L. Bean Ragg wool socks), which is most likely why they never chafe on me. I had read reviews about leakage so the first thing I did after putting them on was go out and walk around in a river. There was no leakage and it stayed that way for 2 of the 3 years (of regular use). I treated them with mink oil (but not regularly enough). A few months ago they finally started leaking a bit, so I melted some beeswax into them with a paintbrush and hair dryer. They look great and no longer leak. (If you do this, be especially thorough around the seams).
My only real complaint is these can get pretty sweaty, so I don't really wear them when it's very warm out unless I'm going to be sloshing around somewhere. This is to be expected though, so wearing 100% wool socks wicks most the moisture and keeps it from freezing your feet (sweaty synthetic smells worse and wet cotton feels terrible and can freeze/ cool you down more in cold temperatures).
Overall, great boots, definitely worth it.

Buy Them Now!
I’ve had my eye on the Men’s 16in Maine Hunting Shoes for a couple years, but had a nice pair of boots already that were in decent condition. As if by fate, both soles on my old boots started to come off this year and I quickly purchased the Hunting Shoe. To be completely honest, I should have purchased them when I first wanted them. They are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned and are great for trudging through the Minnesota snow with my dog. Best purchase ever!
