User Reviews
These are literally the only shoes that I ever wear, ever, and I like them so much, that I actually purchased three pairs of them. However, there are a few things that I need to point out:First:I have a very narrow foot, and I normally never order a wide shoe, but in this boot, I needed to order the wide (W) version. I first purchased the non-wide version, and my big toe would rub against the toe box. So then I ordered one size up, and the boot was too big. So then I decided to order the wide version of the initial size that I ordered, and it fit perfectly. So even if you never order a wide version of a boot or shoe, you might need to order the wide version for this particular boot. If your toe rubs on the toe box, don't give up on these boots, just order the wide version, and see if that helps.Second:I always wear these boots with two different after market insoles inside of each boot, including a gel insole, and a memory foam insole. So when I say that I like these boots, part of the reason at to why I like them so much, definitely has something to do with the after market insoles that I wear inside of them, but nevertheless, I do love these boots, and I highly recommend them.But having said that, the standard insole that come with these boots, will probably not be enough for most people. Furthermore, I always wear two pairs of thick Dickey's kevlar socks, while using these boots. So it is the combination of all of that padding, along with these boots, that makes me enjoy these so much.I have literally purchased close to twenty different pairs of Timberland boots in the last 20 years, and these are by far my favorites. In my opinion, what make these boots stand out from the others that I have worn before, is the sole of the boot. The sole of this boot is semi soft, and has give and cushion to it. The sole of this particular boot has more cushion and give to it, than any other boot you will find in a boot or shoe store; I can pretty much promise you that.In addition to the nearly 20 different Timberland boots that I have owned, I have also owned and tried countless other boots, in my quest to find a good pair to wear, and these are by far my new favorites. I have been wearing them constantly, for an average of twelve hours a day, for almost one full year, and they are still going strong.Unfortunately, what seems to happen, is that when a company finally makes a good product, they seem to change their formula for that particular product, and then in the process they ruin the original version of it. That is why I purchased three pairs of these things, and I will probably purchase another three pairs of them in the not too distant future. I work in a factory all day, every day, and I can't afford to not be wearing good footwear.I have no affiliation with Timberland at all, and this is an independent review.Update on 2/16/2020:I purchased three more pairs of these boots. They are still working very well for me. I wear them about 60 hours a week and over 2500 hours a year. I continue to wear two thick pairs of Dickey's kevlar socks with them, and two after market insoles with them, which include one thin memory foam insert and one gel insert on top of that. But overall, my opinion of these boots has not changed, and I continue to hope that Timberland continues to manufacture them, and that they do not change their formula for making them.One thing that I do want to mention, is the in my last order of three pairs of these boots, one of the pairs was wearing against the back of my heel really hard, and I decided to exchange it for another pair. So the lesson from that experience, is that if one of these pairs wears really hard against your heel, don't give up on them, and try it for a few more days, and then exchange it for another pair if necessary. The other two pairs gave me no problems.I continue to think that the stock Timberland inserts with these boots, are inadequate, but that is fine, given that no single insert will please everyone, and there are plenty of after market inserts to choose from.Lastly, I recommend waiting for these boots to go on sale. I have seen them on Amazon for as much as $120.00 and as low as $104.99.Hope that helps. These are are great, comfortable, durable, and light, safety toe boots.
Outstanding work boots! Very comfortable, lightweight and stylish. Seriously, in my opinion just a all around great boot.
Light, does not slip, comfortable.These are great boots
Light weight, good footprint, comfy work boot.
Lighter, more comfortable and nicer looking compared to leather boots.
Good for its price
When is comes to shoes and or work boots you can't go wrong. Tbey are so light and comfortable. I wear the lower composite work shoe as my daily shoe. My back feels better and as a bigger man they dont break down like other brands. I have turned on so many others to these I should be getting kick back from Timberland pro. I've even gone as far to tell em I'd buy from them if they didn't like the boots.
They are very lite, comfortable and went with wide fit vs regular. Lack any kind of arch support and I expect the eyelets to tear before the soles wear out and than they become back yard loafers.
