The quintessential New England winter shoes, Bean Boots, clearly have a strong presence on BC’s campus. They are stylish, warm, and perfect for trekking through the snow; simply put, they’re the ideal shoes for any BC student. If you’re in the market to purchase a pair, here’s everything you need to know!
Sizing:
Bean Boots typically run large so it is best to size down, normally a full size. The goal is to leave enough room for warm, plush socks, and also make sure the boots fit snugly so as to avoid any discomfort around the ankles.
Height:
Bean Boots come in two predominant sizes, 6” and 8”. The 6” boots are great for any type of rainy or snowy weather, but since they fall on the lower side of one’s legs, they are better to wear in weather that isn’t as serious. They’ll still pack as much warmth as the 8” boots will, but won’t protect as much of your leg from the elements. The 8” work well with serious snow and colder weather since they hit higher up on your leg, providing maximum warmth.
Styling:
First off, one of the best things to purchase for your Bean Boots is a pair of insoles. Not only will these provide a cushion for your feet, but also extra warmth. In addition to the insoles, treat yourself to a cute pair of socks! J. Crew’s Camp Socks pair perfectly with Bean Boots, as well as Smartwool’s ski socks, which provide pops of color.
Bean Boots can essentially pair with any outfit. Wear them with leggings and a comfy sweater for a more casual look, jeans and a button down for class, or with tights and a dress for a more polished look. The opportunities are endless!
If you’re wanting to buy a pair, don’t be intimidated by the long backorder delay, Bean Boots are 100% worth it!
