Ll Bean original bean boot. Either insulated or uninsulated and double up on socks, but they're still made in Maine and built to last. I've got the 10" shearling lined ones, on my 4th year and they still look new. They're like an insulated sneaker to walk and drive in, I don't know that I'll ever buy a pair of thick treaded hunting boots again.

Thanks. What's the actual name of these boots? Or a link? How do they do in slippery surfaces?

For not having an aggressive tread they do really well. Great on ice, not bad on mud and snow but they also don't clog with mud and snow like most my other boots do.

Which lining did you get? I'm leaning gortex and thinsulate winter hikes/camping.

I have the shearling lined which is really a thinsulate lower and shearling inside the leather upper.

They're made a little oversized as well, I normally wear a 10.5, I went with a 10 and have room for a thick pair of wool socks still.
