Description

Over 100 years ago, L.L. Bean combined leather with rubber to create a unique shoe that would keep his feet warm when he went fishing. The result? The Maine Hunting Shoe, a functional, innovative boot that changed footwear forever. Today, his great grandson, Shawn Gorman is the Chairman of the family owned business. Shawn talks about his role as a steward of the brand, abiding by a set of golden rules and the restorative power of the outdoors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
