All you people slipping in ll bean boots need to learn how to walk. People hike and walk on ice in flip flops and you guys can’t do it a 10 inch high boot

I’m reading the comments here. Thinking this exact same thing. All i wear hiking in the woods are my bean boots. I never slip??

You must walk funny.

I wear flip flops made for pool decks. Unlike beaners, have a good grip.

It's not that bean boots are easy to slip in. It's that vibram soles came out decades ago and became the no-slip standard we now expect from boots.

Bean boots have as much grip as a half-worn tire, which isn't useless by any means but it's not a superior sole product to the $70 hiking boot or work boot.
