First of all, a big thank you is in order to all of the fabulous Summer Wind readers out there. Your response to my Bean Boot dilemma was HUGE and super helpful. Thank you bunches!!!!
I have decided that I absolutely love the L.L. Bean 8″ GoreTex/Thinsulate boots. My Great Bean Debate was a struggle but I am glad I went with the classics rather than the brown shearling. In hindsight, the extra 2″ dilemma didn’t really matter!
I have the 6″ and the moc, however, the 8″ GoreTex/Thinsulate make up a huge difference in warmth. I went to the Steeler game a few weeks ago and for all 4 quarters, my toes were toasty in the 27 degree cold. I definitely recommend getting the shearling insoles. As most know, Bean Boots run really large. I wear a size 8.5 in most shoes and the 7 in LLBean boots are too small but the 8 is too big. The shearling insoles make the shoe fit perfectly and keep my feet even warmer!
Do you love your Bean Boots? What is your favorite outfit to pair your boots with? Have a fabulous day!
Yours,
