Question Regarding LL Bean Boots

[Dinitrophenol]

Could someone please enlighten me as to the difference between these two pairs of boots? They seem remarkably similar to me.

Thanks for your time.

Tongue shape and color of the stitching is what I saw; other than the obvious price difference.

Based on the description, one of them has waterproof leather and the other doesn't. I wouldn't spend an extra $10 for waterproof leather - waterproofing your own pac boots is pretty easy to do.

Just to add to the previous comments. IMO the biggest difference is the soles. The hunting boot is intended to have a sole which is softer and easier to feel the ground which would be important while hunting where you are treading lightly/quietly.

Whereas the bean boot has a sole designed for city wear for the most part. Likely more durable.
