![]() ![]() ![]() There are also mocs and lounger boots that you could check out. This padding gives a ton of extra comfort to the back of the boot to help with rubbing. They are still made with the tumbled leather top but, they also have a black padded collar at the top, very similar to the style of Timberlands. Or a Different Shape:Īnd if all of this doesn’t sound crazy let me introduce you to the 6″ boot with a padded collar. I haven’t tried these on, but I do have a pair of Thinsulate gloves, and they are so warm. The Thinsulate only lined ones are going to give you an extra layer to keep you very warm. The Gore-Tex/Thinsulate has a waterproof Gore-Tex lining paired with the warm Thinsulate Insulation so your feet stay warm and dry. These are options for the leather top, not the tumbled leather tops. Lastly, is the Gore-Tex/Thinsulate lined and the Thinsulate lined. They will definitely keep your feet warm for the winter. To my surprise, they were completely lined, all the way to your toes! These were different than the flannel ones that only cover the ankles. I looked at these when I was trying on pairs for my third purchase. But, the lining is not enough to make your feet overly hot. To me, I think it adds a little bit of extra coziness. These boots have a cute blue and green plaid patterned flannel on the inside of the top part of the boot (this is for women, the men’s come with different color options). ![]() They are the chamois flannel-lined boots. Let’s talk about my personal favorite first, aka the most recent one that I have purchased. That is why I will be breaking it down for you. I tend to roll mine down a lot in the Fall but in the Winter, I wear them regularly for added warmth with my thick, high socks! Maybe Try a Lining:Ĭontinuing on the topic of tumbled leather, they come with a couple of different lining options, which is another thing to think about. I was told that they are certainly water-resistant but cannot be called waterproof.Īnother added benefit to the tumbled leather tops is that even though they only come in an 8″ height they can be rolled down to be closer to a 6″. The tongue is not connected which limits the amount of water that can be kept out. Something to think about with the tumbled leather is that they aren’t as waterproof as the classics. Because, as I said before, she likes shoes to be comfortable right away. When my sister was considering buying a pair, this is what I suggested for her. Tumbled means just what you would think it would that it was tumbled to get a more broken-in feeling right away. So just keep that in mind when we talk about the next ones.Īnother option is the tumbled leather on the top. This is added to make the boots waterproof, there isn’t space for the water to get in. First, I would like to point out how on the normal boots their tongue is attached to the sides of the boots. Now that we got the heights down, let’s talk about features. If you are like my sister (who doesn’t like breaking shoes in) and want things to fit comfortably right away, it may be tough to get through. They will give and get more comfortable as you break them in. The leather top on these tends to be stiff when you first get them or try them on. I got the 8″ because I liked where they came up to, and they also came in navy! The other two sizes only come in brown. ![]() My sister and I both have the 8″ but my mom who is a lot shorter got a 6″ because they came up to a comfortable spot for her. This is the measurement of how high the top of the boot comes up on your shin. They come in a couple of different sizes, and by sizes, I mean heights. That’s what I started with! They can be seen in the picture below. Let’s start with the regular old Bean Boot. So, here it goes, my guide to buying your first pair of Bean Boots! First, Find a Comfortable Height: The classics are the ones I am going to focus on. Bean is always making new boots that come and go, while some are classics. When I was looking for my last pair, I did a bunch of research and I figured I would put a post together for the next person who may want to buy a pair. I have three pairs and counting (I’m working on getting another pair, but let’s keep that between us). If you read my post How to Style Bean Boots, you know that I absolutely love my Bean Boots! But, if you didn’t, let me tell you they are great! I started out with one pair and figured that was all I needed. ![]()
