I have a pair of LL Bean duck boots. They are the kind that don’t have laces, with just a loop in the back to allow for easier entry. I don’t think that they make them any more. Mine are 25+ years old. I always wore them when we went fishing in Maine.
One of the heiresses to the L.L. Bean fortune bought up a huge amount of Maine woods, and locked it up from hunting, snowmobiling and ATVs.
I get my boots from LaBonville's in Gorham, NH. They have their own boot factories in the USA and Canada.
Plus, in New Hampshire, there is no sales tax.
