Bean Boots
Bean Boots (officially called Maine Hunting Shoes) are a type of duck boots manufactured by L.L.Bean. They are constructed from a rubber sole and a leather upper. The boots were created in 1911 and were in instant success. Due to their classic and unchanging design, the boots became an item of clothing connected to elite prep-schools such as Choate. In the 2010s, the boots experienced a surge in popularity leading to a shortage.
== Creation ==
The first pairs of Bean Boots date to late 1911. Leon Leonwood Bean was an avid outdoorsman from Freeport, Maine. On one of his hunting trips, Bean noticed that his feet would get wet and cold in his usual pair of boots. He decided to combine the rubber soles of rain boots with leather uppers, and convinced a local cobbler to assemble the shoes. In 1912, Bean formed the L.L. Bean Company to market and sell the shoes.
While the first 100 pairs of the boots sold quickly, they had a defect in the connection between the rubber and the leather. Bean returned all of his customers' money, and convinced US Rubber to make specialty soles for his boots.〔 After the switch to the specialty soles, the boots were an instant success. Since the boot's creation, very little has changed about them with one exception. In 1947, the company added the chain pattern design to the bottom of the boots.
