Comfortable
Well made… very comfortable. Leather boots that last and fit for work. Have bought several pairs over the years
I’ve worn them for week. Very comfortable. I work in a warehouse with concrete, my feet and legs weren’t sore after my 9 hour shift. They’re actually about the same weight as my Dr Martens but the Timberlands offer more cushion and the wide fit has been great.The make a squishy sound, from my orthotic insert…but I’m ok with it, the ‘anti-fatigue insoles’ were a big reason I bought them and would buy again!Peace
Boot is phenomenal, really! My first pair, I believe had a manufacturing defect.. The stitching ended with a knot that laid between the closure and was where the boot bends as you walk. Therefore, creating an opening that exposed the knot and the end pieces of the knot, began to come out. The boot was only 2 weeks old. Exactly 10 days of wear when I started seeing it. I’d didn’t want them to unravel completely as I felt they would with more time so, I made the call to return them. They sent me a new one immediately! Got that pair about 3-4 days later and was back to work. This pair is without the same defect as of now.. It’s been another 10 days of wear and no signs of anything. The boot feels great! Anti-fatigue insoles are amazing! They definitely hold up during the work day and are water proof, not water resistant. I’d say, worth the cost.. Timberland did well with these, in my opinion..
the most soft and comfortable timberland pro ever, where have you been all this time!
My son loves these work boots! I’ve bought a few pairs! Highly recommend!!
Everyday wear
I have owned a pair Timberland Barstow wedge boots for nearly three years and was looking for a new boot. I wear a 7 M comfortable in those boots and have never worn wides in my life. I tried the size 7s, too tight in the mid foot transition to toe box, thought maybe too small. Tried the 7.5, still the same issue. Thought it must be the extra waterproof lining, so I ordered the 7.5W. They still have the exact same issue and don’t fit. I honestly cannot tell a difference between the regular and wide boots. All the hassle of ordering and returning for not, as none of the boots fit! Be aware that if you order these, there is not consistent stitching on the top of the boot and that it can lead to even tighter toe boxes due to these deformities. Returning to buy another Barstow wedge boot, which I would recommend instead of this version. I just wish Timberland offered them in another color.
