These are lightweight work books and they also have the air cooled gel inserts with arch supports! My hubby is on his feet all day so these are a win for him.
Hello all, I deliver beer for a living so I’m on my feet all day everyday slinging cases I purchased these boots to replace a set of heavy duty red wings and lawd have mercy these things are a blessing its as if you are wearing basketball shoes with a composite toe. They do the job for maximum comfort and being in them all day I do not feel fatigued and somehow my feet do not sweat as they are waterproof and they excel at that as well I’ve been ankle deep in puddles and no wet feet. The only thing time will tell with these boots are if they will hold up as I am hard on boots and have to replace them quite frequently.
I seen these pair of Timberland Pros among the others but they were a different price. These I found for $75 and I had to look closer at the details and see if there were any mistakes. The size 15 Wide and a 7 day tryout it was a great buy. (A little voice in my head said screenshot that it’s to good of a price) It was an extra day to get the boots. They felt great on my feet but not for a long shift. I had to replace the insoles the ones that came with the boots are not built for those standing or working on concrete 10-12 hours a day. Once I replaced the insoles these worked out great on the second day of wearing them. On the last day of the test fit, I back to the website to make sure the payment went through. I have a extra charge of $51 and change for the boots. Of course, I did call Customer Service and ask about this issue work because I didn’t have the screenshot there was nothing they could do. That’s why the title is called always screenshot the price! I have come across a few others that I am going to be purchasing, but I will make sure to do that next time.
I own four different Timberland boots/shoes and this one is the worst of the four. Stiffer, heavier, and has less cushion than the others. I always replace the insole with the Timberland Pro replacement insole for more cushion and it didn't help much. Adding a second, thin memory foam insert may help, it did for the Timberland Radius, which is my second least favorite Timberland boot. Nothing has beat the Timberland Pro Drivetrain. It has a thick sole that has a lot of cushion/give to it, added with the replacement insole and it does not leave my feet and legs hurting at the end of the day.
I'm a flooring installer and I've been wearing Timberland Pros for years. I bought these thinking the lighter weight would be better for being on my knees 6-8 hours a day. I bought these in August and already blew a hole in the side of them. If you do medium/heavy construction work I would go with something else.
Perfect fit. Comfortable right out of the box. I only buy Timberland pro. Oops for work. I can work long days on my feet, and on a ladder and not feel worn out. These are lightweight boots which help keep you moving comfortably.
