Also, Bean boots are great, but they are not always great winter boots.

I’ve had a pair of Bean Crestas for going on 20 years and they are INCREDIBLE. Snow, ice, slush, even summer hiking. And they look beautiful broken in 😍

I have one pair of boots from Beans, but they are not those crappy faux leathery things. Tried them on before I went online and bought them at discount.

I have one pair that I went and bought from the store a few years ago. I love them, but they’re not insulated and don’t have the best tread on ice, I find. They’re perfect for fall and the post-winter softening.

Can confirm that Bean lined duck boots are pretty good, but yes, not great winter boots. I found some knock-off Sorels that are both comfortable and warm, and actually lace most of the way around my cankles, LOL.
