LL Bean Bar Harbor Boot

The premise of these boots was to be a performance version of the classic L.L.Bean Duck Boot. The Bar Harbor boot is related to the original but designed with modern benefits. Some details I borrowed directly from L.L.’s Maine Hunting Boot boot like the patented V-Notch backstay. Others were inspired by Bean’s original boot like the high traction outsole with an updated “chain tread“ bottom design and some were just innovative like an insulated liner with stirrup straps to make both boot entry and liner removal easy.
