Lifechanger: The Unofficial Shoe of Gizmodo

[techieguy]

Biddle's got the classics, GoreTex-ified. Mascari has 'em in brown, (iconoclast), and I've got the tall fleecey ones—I hate getting cold ankles. Blam might order a pair. I'm talking about the L.L.Bean Boot: the accidental, unofficial shoe of Gizmodo.



If you grew up on the East Coast, chances are you've owned a pair of these too. Chances are you've splashed through a puddle of freezing slush without giving a thought to your feet. Chances are, you and dozens of other kids squeaked down your school's linoleum hallways on a snowy day, trailing the trademark faux-chain footprint, rendered in dirty wetness. Chances are you called these shoes duck boots. And chances are you never realized how much you loved them. Take a second to remember; step back in time with me for a minute, to Maine in 1911.
