Brands

For more than 90 years, L.L.Bean® has been producing quality footwear and apparel for the outdoor enthusiast. Leon Leonwood Bean, an avid outdoorsman himself, created the company in 1912 with the introduction of the Maine Hunting Shoe and proceeded to turn it into one of the most successful outerwear businesses in the country. With a commonsense approach and a strong belief in true customer service, the company grew legions of fans that still trust kid’s L.L.Bean® footwear today. With similar values and dedication to high quality products, the partnership between L.L.Bean® and the GORE-TEX® brands is a natural one. We pride ourselves on our legacy of innovation and our commitment to highly technical, high performance footwear. Just as at L.L. Bean, no new design makes it to market without being thoroughly tested for 100% performance. And no customer walks away dissatisfied—we make it a point to provide top-notch customer service because as L.L.Bean® himself said “a customer is the most important person ever in this company—in person or by mail.” Both companies also support the wilderness that brings us and our customers so much joy. We sponsor several different organizations such as the Conservation Alliance and the Continental Divide Trail Alliance to give back to the outdoors. Our partnership creates kid’s L.L.Bean® footwear that not only protects you from the conditions, but that also helps deliver a better outdoor experience, both for you and for the environment.
