I have 6 pair of Bean signature boots. They are by far the best boots ever.

When I was a college boy, my professor from U.S. recommended L.L.Bean boots for they would be useful in freezing Korean winter. I’ll get my own one this year!

These boots were designed for hunting in wet, marshy areas, not for city folks. They are not insulated and your feet will freeze in really cold climates. These folks have no idea that they are not designed for the type of use they will experience. For really cold, wet, snowy weather, Sorrell pac boots are superior. Additionally Bean boots with the rubber lowers will cause your feet to perspire and then they will get cold. Not meant for wearing all day like casual city folk. I speak from my five acres of evergreen forest in the Pacific Northwest.

You got a lot of nerve to change the policy after all these years you going to lose all your business cuz it don't matter if they bought the boots everybody can't afford brand new boots sir but that's not what I really want to say that's my Christian but it shouldn't matter if they found a boost on the side of the road if they bought them at a garage sale or the Goodwill young man everybody not rich and and fortunate to pay for the high price boost over high-priced anyway you should be proud of me that money off of us they give everybody in the world a free pair but y'all don't think of that sound kind of like Michael Jordan and they die for his shoes but you want to change the policy cuz you that thirsty that you said if we abused it you should honor your policy it don't matter where they retrieved the boots from Goodwill garage sales found them passed down just honored and be a person and keep your policy as his be cuz you going to lose a lot of business

Don't bother buying this now. They no longer are always made in the USA and the lifetime warranty is no longer provided.
