User Reviews
Comfortable, no foot problems look good no ESD feel safe handlinh ICs and processors Herman Munster look loving it
Have been buying another brand for years and truly like those but my size is out of stock . I read reviews on these and said I’ll give them a try. So far they are better than the other brand.Pros: comfortable and light weight for a composite toe shoeSlip resistance is phenomenalHave nothing on longevity so that will be a factor if I purchase again. Others gave me a solid 6 months or more
Been buying these for years and they never disappoint. And always true to size
They're confortable in long shifts but they still feel I little stiff
I absolutely love these shoes. Alloy toe, lightweight, breathable, ESD, stylish, and oh so comfortable. I've had these for 19 months of about 10k steps for 6 days a week. That's 5 million steps and they're just as comfortable as day one.That said I think I've neared the end of their life. A chunk of the sole has decided to disband, I can't be sure it's not due to stepping on clutter. Notice in the picture the support column portion is still steady. I've had 0 of the sole cracking issues others in here have had. I have to slip these on and off from 2 to 10 times a day so it's obviously worn in the heel area and that's why I've decided to go ahead and order another pair. Unfortunately my size is out of stock so I've decided to purchase the powertrain SPORT edition of this shoe (albeit not available in blue).I work 10-14 hour days in these shoes on hard hangar floors. They stay out of the elements for the most part aside from the rare hydraulic slick. My feet and toes have never once complained, my footing never slipped.TL;DR19 months later the outer sole lost a chunk and my repeated slip on/off routine has worn the inner heels but I don't care! Give me another pair and my feet will be happy another 2 years.
My second pair i have purchased. First pair lasted two years Very comfortable. I work in a warehouse that i stand up most of the day and walking a lot the products that i handle are grease and dirty . The warehouse is Very cold during winter and hot during summer no problem with these shoes , i have bought many safety shoes because they are required were i work. Most were uncomfortable or wore out quickly. If you need comfort look no further, if you need reliable look no further. The toe area has ample room for comfort one of the best feature of shoe. I wear my regular socks with these. The shoes are the closes thing to a regular shoe feel. The bottom sole is solid first pair had very little wear. They are made true to your shoe size no need for larger size up. Three guys that i know were these were i work . and they all agree these are comfortable. i always rely on people reviews before purchases. My review is a thumbs up. i highly recommend. i' m glad i found these shoes they also help with ease some of the physical issues i was having with my hips and back .
These shoes initially felt good, good cushion and feel, fairly light weight and breathable, but within 3 to 4 months they split apart and are now useless... These are one of the absolute worst shoes that anyone could buy. It really is amazing that Timberland (or anyone really) would sell such poor quality shoes at the prices they do. For 100 dollar shoes I would expect them to last at least 1-2 years of being used daily and indoors only, but I only used them about 2 times a week for 3 to 4 months, all indoors, and they have that huge split in them at the ball and are literally falling apart. I'm not in construction and don't go through shoos/boots often, however these are the worst I have ever had and will never buy another pair of Timberlands again. Please do yourself a favor and read other reviews about them falling apart and splitting, there are pictures of them and that's exactly what they look like, brand new on the top side and split apart from the bottom. The only time I could ever see myself using these shoes is if I were to meet up with the guy that designed these shoes just so I could dropkick him in the throat with his own crappy creation.
