On LL BEAN BOOTS:
My hunting buddy bought a pair, I'll say three years ago, but I'm thinking it might have been two. I was impressed with them, they were insulated, Mossy Oak camo,and fairly light weight. Last year they gave up some stitching and just started to fall apart. If they were mine I'd have a brand new pair compliments of LL BEAN. NOT sure why he won't do anything about that. Point is their quality may be slipping.
