Step into history with these vintage 1960s–1970s L.L. Bean Maine Hunting Shoes — the original Bean Boots before the modern revival. Handmade in Freeport, Maine, these boots feature: • Classic tan full-grain leather uppers with hand-stitched construction. • Blue rubber bottoms with the original chain-tread sole (only found on vintage pairs). • Interior label: "Made by L.L. Bean, Freeport, Maine." • Heel stamped: "Maine Hunting Shoe, L.L. Bean Inc., Freeport, ME." • Size 8. These early Bean Boots pre-date today's mass production, carrying the durability and craftsmanship that made L.L. Bean legendary. They're not just boots — they're a piece of American outdoor heritage, perfect for collectors, heritage style fans, or anyone who appreciates authentic vintage workwear. Condition: Nicely broken-in with rich patina and wear consistent with age. Structurally solid with plenty of life left — the kind of vintage character collectors look for. A must-have addition for fans of vintage outdoor gear, Americana, and heritage workwear.
