Shoes need to dry in between wears, and this is magnified with boots since there is more surface area to dry, and typically less air movement. Once the bean boots arrive, rotate the two pairs so they don't go to shit.
LL BEAN BOOTS HOW TO
In the meantime, if I were you, I'd get a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers with the mini-lug sole, or some Chippewas with a lug sole, break those in/learn how to waterproof them while winter is still approaching, and wear them until you get your bean boots. The stock is extremely limited, but they are well worth the wait.
I'd either go to an LL Bean store, or order now and wait for a January delivery. The boots are meant to be roomy, and if you get cold easily, or when the temperature dips you can add the shearling insoles to keep your feet toasty warm (get these separately, don't get the shearling lined boot). Get some of the LL Bean Ragg wool socks, or the merino trail socks from Costco with your true size if you wear a full size, and size down if you are a half size.
The 8" Bean Boot is great for rain, and quite comfortable. The rescue boots are heavy as hell, so unless you are on the job I can't see anyone wanting to wear them.
I originally was going to get the 10", but if I need anything that high, I'm usually wearing my paramedic boots off duty (HAIX rescue boots or Red Wing black waterproof steel toes in a 10 inch height). Better protection in deep snow, and the boots just look more proportional that way. Haven't tested them in snow yet, but their reputation alone should speak volumes. I have the 8 inch Bean Boot, and they are great for rain so far.
