I cannot hold this thought in any longer, I must vent it. I have for some time had this growing fear that L.L. Bean Boots will be bastardized, much like we have seen done to Hunter boots. Wedge heeled wellies, are you f*c*i*g kidding me? Now, luckily, I have full faith in the powers that be at L.L. Bean that they will not let this happen on their end. However, what the masses and designers will do is a completely different story. For some of the twists put on other prep classics by both designers and individuals have been borderline offensive to many preps. When you put on a pair of Bean boots you are putting on a piece of history, something of legend. Wear them proudly and respect them.
Keep up the good fight,
