L.L.BEAN Men's L.L.Bean Bean Boots, 6"

A waterproof rubber shell paired with a leather upper, built to handle rain and mud. This 6-inch boot is unlined, so there's no extra insulation to work around no matter the season or sock thickness. You get sure footing on wet ground along with an easy, everyday fit.

Waterproofing reaches to just below the stitch line on the rubber shell. The lace-up front lets you cinch the fit to your foot.

Handcrafted in Maine since 1912

Since our founder introduced them in 1912, Bean Boots have stayed the all-weather standard. They're still handcrafted today by expert bootmakers in Brunswick, Maine. The premium leather only gets softer with wear, breaking in with your foot over time.

Built to last is part of the value. Bean Boots can be resoled, a service L.L.Bean has offered for over 100 years, cutting down on waste while keeping a well-worn pair going. When the sole wears out, you can replace it and keep using an upper that's already broken in.

Confident footing on wet ground, comfortable for everyday walking

The outsole keeps its classic chain-tread grip while an updated rubber compound adds more durability. The pattern holds its footing and braking stability on wet pavement or dirt alike.

Comfort comes from the inside structure. A uniquely shaped foot form and steel shank support the arch for stability. A two-layer (dual-density) footbed — a soft top layer over a supporting PU foam layer — absorbs impact and eases fatigue over a day of walking.

Why the 6-inch height works so well

Covering the ankle keeps splashes and mud spatter at bay while still leaving your lower leg free to move. It's easy to get on and off, and the laces let you adjust how snug the opening sits. Combined with the light, unlined fit, it's an easy boot to reach for across a change of seasons — a versatile everyday height for rainy outings or puddled ground.

Sizing and fit

Because this style is unlined (no inner lining or insulation), there's extra room inside, so we recommend ordering a full size down from your regular sneaker size (for example, a size 9 should order an 8). Half sizes are now available for a closer length fit. Widths come in Medium (D) and Wide (EE), and the lace-up front lets you fine-tune the fit around the instep for thick or thin socks alike. Between width options and half sizes, it's easier to find a fit for more foot shapes.

Waterproofing reaches to just below the stitch line on the rubber shell. In deep puddles or water above that line, water can get in from the top, so plan around your conditions.
