I already had a pair, and wore them till they were no longer presentable. Meaning; I use them doing yard work, or walking the dogs in wooded areas. I needed a new pair, that weren't so worn out, and I will not settle for less. These are just perfect. Color, size, width, comfort and style cool & casual, they have it all. Once these will reach their end, I will buy them again, and again, and again...Granted if Timberland will still make them.
I have bought this shoe many times ( at least 8 time over 25 years). Wear almost everyday, so I wear then out. It is my outdoor shoe to wear with kakis especially in rough ground, grass, gardening, surveying, soccer games, etc. I treat mine to be weather proof and polish with mink oil often. The oiled leather, dark soles, good grade of leather are my favorite features which are extremely difficult to find in women's shoes. I do have one pair with the lug soles but they collect mud so do not wear as much. Hope Timberland never quits making this shoe.
Having an older pair of Timberland boat shoes that need replacing I was so sure these would be perfect and at a good price.The boat shoes are wonderful and comfortable but this is the second consecutive pair ordered that have had to be sent back due to shoddy workmanship.I will find another store to purchase from.
They are slightly narrow considering they are a wide size. Also, the rawhide lace is difficult to tighten. I was surprised to see that the insole is removeable and not fixed. They have a nice appearance.
My wife loves it
Great shoes!!
Someone had posted that this shoe ran large. Well maybe their feet were a bit narrow. Ordered size that should have fit if the shoe ran large. It did not fit and did not run large. No tread on bottom of shoe either and bottom is very flat. I am fairly flat footed but the shoe was not comfortable without some arch.
I wanted to buy this shoe for the longest time, when I finally did, I was amazed at the quality and the confort this shoe provides, they almost feel like wearing slippers, and the color is a nice clasic brown/burgundy.They come big, so buy a size smaller than what you usually wear.
