User Reviews
I walked several miles in these shoes. I hadn't planned on it, but they were super comfortable.
This foot wear is very comfortable n lovely
Extremely disappointed in these sandals. They are nothing like all the other quality Timberland sandals, espadrilles, and boots I have bought over the years and still wear. The former Timberland quality was "built to last" with innovative (comfortable and very supportive Los Angeles Wind sandals---I own four pairs of these) and high quality leather in my espadrilles.I hope Timberland goes back to making quality items.
very comfortable and good quality
Wore these all day up, down, and around the science museum. Stayed on good, comfortable.
Comfy. I purchased my normal size and they are perfect.
Very comfortable sandal
