The Maine Hunting Boot Earns Its Place by the Door

It was first made for hunters in Maine who needed their feet dry, and it has since become a standard piece of weatherproof footwear in closets across the country. For a North End household, it belongs by the door with the umbrellas, ready for the afternoon a squall comes across the island. It was built to be practical, and that is why it has lasted.
