They were amazing once, but that was sort of a long time ago now.
They had super high quality with an unbelievably good warranty. Basically, most of the store was buy it for life. They dropped quality and then the warranty followed. Now it’s mostly just a familiar name.
I remember learning about LL Bean from Seinfeld and asking why people like it. Later when I wasn’t living paycheck to paycheck and started buying quality goods, I learned that their famous warranty was gone. Which sucks because I’m all about BIFL.
Never buy L.L. Bean again, gotcha.
That was the lesson in 2017, idk who the heirs are now or what their politics are
I hadn’t heard about this one. New Balance was the big one for me since they also heavily donated to Trump.
We need an updated list of those companies. I don’t readily see a current one.
Agreed! Hard to keep that curated and not commented on by every angry person out there.
I actually hadn’t heard about New Balance!
Did they? Damn, they’re the only shoes I’ve tried that fit my flat feet.

Makes sense they’re trumptards
LL bean used to be the shit in the early 00s, now it’s basically overpriced Walmart garbage

This largely lines up with my experience with their quality over time.

Yep. Wish I could have gotten in 20 years ago but was broke back then.
This is why I switched to Patagonia, quality stuff, great customer service, great warranty.
And way better ownership evidently
They also tell their workers to go outside when the surfing is nice according to a podcast I heard once.
