Story & heritage
In 1912, Leon Leonwood Bean launched the Maine Hunting Shoe after returning from a cold, wet hunt in Maine. The design—lightweight leather uppers over a waterproof rubber bottom—became the company's first signature product and the foundation of its outdoor identity.
Materials & craft
The classic build pairs leather with rubber and is still associated with Maine-made craftsmanship. The shape is built for wet weather, traction, and the no-nonsense utility that made Bean Boots legendary.
How to choose & style
Choose them as the sturdy, everyday answer to rain, slush, and shoulder-season mud. The 8-inch height reads the most classic and works best when you want the original silhouette.
