3 Times You’ll Regret Not Wearing Bean Boots in a Maine Winter

Ahhhh good old Maine, the state where you can start your work day out by ruining your socks and accidentally striking a wild animal with your car all before 7am.

This is where our famous L.L Bean boots come into play. To live in this state, it's a silent requirement that you own a pair of sturdy bean boots that fight our ugly weather, I don't make the rules.

Where is the L.L. Bean headquarters?

It's actually in Freeport, Maine, 15 Casco St. with a huge super cool store front. They even have another building across the street that's an outlet store with tons of discounts, I love it.

You can also buy discounted bean boots here too. If you try to maneuver Maine winters without these famous rubber-soled boots, here's a few times you're going to severely regret that decision. Here's 3 easy reasons why.

1. The day after snow storms when the sidewalk is just a slushy, messy, icy mess. You'll want the rigged traction on the bottom of bean boots so you don't fall infant of your entire office.
2. Hiking in the late winter, early spring time when hiking trails are muddy. Bean boots also serve a convenient purpose for trudging through light puddles of mud. Plus they're easy to clean.
3. When you're shoveling your door steps, you won't hate the heated sole inserts you can buy to make them even warmer.

You know what here's a bonus one, bean boots are perfect for the dudes and dudette's that love to ice fish. I actually feel like it might be illegal not to buy a pair if you're living in Maine, I don't make the rules.
