LLBean Celebrates 100yr Birthday with Bootmobile!
The Maine Hunting Shoe upon which the L.L. Bean Bootmobile is quite loosely basedwas born in 1912 and was (and still is) considerably more fashionable than a giant boot with an Ford F-250 underneath it, but any boot you could buy wouldn’t be SEVEN FEET LONGER than the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile, nor would it commemorate a 100th birthday in a big way. Naturally, you want to know what size shoe it is, right? Try 747. No joke. Nor is the way-too-earnest Youtube video where you can learn all about the making of the Bootmobile, Orange County Chopper style.
