Eric Eschborn Review of L.L.Bean

Prices aren't extraordinary, but selection is vast. I wish they still honored their "forever warranty" but since they lost something like 450 million in the last five years they had offered it, it's not really surprising that they would discontinue a program like that. I had a pair of duck boots my Dad have given me that the grommets failed, and they were asking for roughly twenty bucks to replace two of them. I remember paying something like ten to a cobbler for a similar service. They would also have to ship them to the repair department and then ship them back to me. Altogether, not an unreasonable cost, but I miss the old days. Additionally I am not sure the build quality has stayed in the upper echelon when comparing the stitching on the uppers from the duck boots they had in the stores to the classic ones I had brought to be repaired.
