The original Maine Hunting Shoe with leather upper and rubber sole
The first pairs of Bean Boots were created in 1911. Leon Leonwood Bean was an avid outdoorsman and hunter from Freeport, Maine. On one of his hunting trips, Bean noticed that his feet were getting wet and cold in his usual pair of hunting 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.
The name comes from the boot’s rubber bottom, which resembles the shape and color of a duck’s body.
