LL Bean used to always have super high quality products - stuff you could buy and wear for years, even decades. Sadly, now that they no longer offer warranties like they used to, the quality has decreased greatly. I am on my second pair of LL Bean boots - first pair I used for 20 years before they cracked and started leaking - second pair I bought - after the warranty changed, broke the first day (loops on the back that you use to pull them up ripped off: 1 the first day, 2nd one a week later - and a few weeks after that, the laces-holes also ripped - this is for a $200 pair of boots. Seems nobody can make money selling quality stuff anymore - it's all a race to the bottom.
