I bought my first pair of LL Bean boots in the early 70's and have had several pairs since. With merino wool socks and the sheepskin insoles they were good for fair weather flat terrain hunting. When conditions were slippery they were an invitation for a fall.
Yep...wear a pair of regular Bean Boots with a pair of wool socks daily in the winter and in the spring when I get the Canoe out but when I do any serious off road activity I put on the Danners.
