A New York woman is suing L.L. Bean, claiming their "waterproof" boots are not actually waterproof.

According to court documents, Linda Lenzi is filing a class action lawsuit against the company.

She claims the zipper closures used in the brand-name boots are not waterproof so the boots themselves are not either.

According to the documents, in 2020 she bought a pair of boots advertised as waterproof but when she wore them outside, water leaked into them.

L.L. Bean says it is aware of the lawsuit and is looking forward "to addressing these claims through the legal process."

The company says it does not comment on pending litigation.
