Twisted Classic: LL Bean Camp Blucher

Share
The folks at LL Bean pride themselves on their classic designs, as well they should. The Camp Blucher, introduced by L.L. Bean himself in 1936, has been a staple in my closet for not quite as long. They take the place of my Topsiders as the go-to shoe when the weather cools down.

The Blucher has gotten a slight update this fall with dark laces and a choice of tan suede or distressed leather (shown here) that's even more rugged looking than the original. All the original details are intact-- channel-grooved rubber sole for wet sidewalks and a flexible upper that won't leave your feet in shreds if you go sockless.
