      These are my second pair. My first pair were black while these are brown. Timberland lists both colors as top grain leather but the browns appear to be nubuck leather which requires different care. Can’t seem to find an answer to that. Anyway they fit fine and from my experience, they will stretch a little so once broken in so I wouldn’t assume they’re too tight when first putting them on. Great traction and are waterproof which makes them perfect for outdoors. Keep in mind that they are hiking boots and not actual work boots. So it’s a little unfair to downgrade the boot because you don’t like it as a work boot. I like them. Now if I can only figure out if I can use normal shoe polish on them.

      I had another pair of these boots, brown, and they’re still going strong. I ended up having to get these for work due to uniform regulations, but I suspect the last just as long as my other pair. So far 4 years and no issues

      These boots are good on snow and ice. This is the second pair I have bought and really like them for the winter in the Scandinavian countries. I have a wide foot and they do take just a couple of months to get them to fit my feet perfectly. The first pair has lasted about 6 years which is really good for me.

      I have not had a chance to really break these in, but I am looking forward to the opportunity. They have been good for the short hikes and walks I have taken so far.

      I’m writing this now upon receiving the item. So I can only speak about certain things. For example the weight: for me is accurate and not too light nor heavy. Fitting is really nice! Well made shoes and really confortable. Your feet will feel properly in place so you can walk a lot without having issues. Important to say: they are really good looking shoes. Also are really good for using riding motorcycle. By the way, I’m using 10.5 size and my weight is around 100kg. Hope this help.

      My current job requires that I walk anywhere between 6-8 hours a day through residential neighborhoods. These boots lasted a surprisingly long time for a shoe made from (what I believe was) recycled materials. The only noticeable damage I witnessed was the dye, treads, and inner heel padding wore down. At some point the toes started letting water in, which could have been due to the outer seal being worn. Other than that, they were fine. I used them for a number of months until I was given a stipend for company approved boots, then they were just shelved off to the side as an emergency pair. They didn’t take long to break in, if at all. I have a size 10 1/2 Wide fit, and they were pretty spot on with sizing. Considering I walk far more than the average person, I’d estimate you could probably get a year or two out of these. Again, really surprised these actually lasted as long as they did.

      Super comfortable fit.
      However it’s the first day wearing and my foot already felt wet after a few hours.
      Not expecting that since there was no rain or puddles. A few drops on top of the boot shouldn’t penetrate a waterproof product.

      I needed a pair of hiking boots to replace the Keene boots that were only 1 1/2 yrs old but not only lost their waterproofing in the first six months but had a weed stalk in the field go right through the side and almost break my skin. This was the second pair of Keene’s that had gone bad in just over a year and, at $130 I was getting tired of replacing them.

      Started looking at reviews and found these. They have a large toe box with plenty of room. Before I took them out I took another reviewers advice and put a coating of Mink Oil on them. They were comfortable but I knew they’d take a little break in. I now have about three or four miles of walking through the fields and surprisingly they seem to be breaking in rather quickly. I usually put on about 500-700 miles a year.

      One note, if you’re looking for hiking boots that will give you really good ankle support these ARE NOT for you, look elsewhere. These are for easy hiking, fields and roadway. When I got them I first put in a pair of Dr. Scholls and that went a long way toward making them immediately comfortable.

      If I remember I’ll give an update in three or four months.

      UPDATE: Jan. 6, 2018 – I’ve now had a chance to wear these for a while including the recent snow storm and frigid temps (at least for us). We got 5” of snow, temps this morning, when I took the dog out, we’re 4 or 5 degrees with a windchill of -8. I had been wearing wool socks with these and my feet have stayed warm and dry on a 25 to 35 min. walk through the fields. This time, with the snow and frigid windchill I decided to try just summer cotton socks. Bear in mind I’m a 70 year old with diabetes, which does affect circulation, so I’m pretty sensitive to cold and heat and the comfort of my foot wear. (I walk approximately 3 miles a day with my dog, even in the snow and cold unless it’s too much for her.) So, the results of a 20 minute walk were still warm and dry feet. I could have gone much further but Harley was getting snow turning to ice between her toes every few minutes and we’d have to stop and I’d have to remove it.

      Bottom line: When I received these boots I put in my Dr. Scholls insoles from my previous pair, rubbed in three coats of mink oil on dry days (which I think was key to waterproofing) and started walking. I’ve found them to be far more comfortable than the Keen’s I was previously wearing. I don’t walk as much as a lot of people, about 25 miles a week, but they’re doing well for me for field and neighborhood walking.

      2/9/18: I like to keep folks updated on important stuff: If you want a pair of boots to wear, every day, and forget when you take them off, look elsewhere. Because these are leather they require a LOT of care. If they get soaking wet do NOT continue to wear them the next day, you’ll ruin them. I’ve found that when mine get soaked from walking in the pouring rain, in the field with my dog, I wipe them clean with an old towel, put shoe trees in them to keep the leather from shrinking and set them aside where there’s a flow of air to let them air dry. Do not try and force dry them with hot air, you’ll ruin the leather. Putting them a few feet away from a fan seems to work okay or just let them sit. While they’re drying I use an old pair that I kept. After they have dried completely I retreat every inch of leather, paying particular attention to seams and around grommets, with mink oil, let it sit and dry then retreat again.

      Is the above a pain? Yes it is but these appear to be quality boots and you need to take care of them, not let them get muddy and wet and toss them in the corner for the next day.

      Update: 11/12/18 I’ve now had these boots a year and for the money they were a good buy but I’ll repeat a couple of points I made previously.
      1. They are not, in any way, shape or form waterproof.
      2. If you get them soaked do NOT simply take them off and leave them in a dark hallway. If you do they’ll be ruined. Put them on a towel in front of a fan blowing room temperature air on them. Do not, under any circumstances, place them on a heated surface or someplace where hot air blows on them, you’ll ruin the leather.
      3. Once completely dry polish your boots. This is how I do it: I put a match to the polish (in the can) and let it flame and liquify, then take a rag and dip it into the liquid polish and rub it into the leather. Then I take a clean cloth and further rub the polish in and finally use a brush to buff the polish to a shine. Yes, it takes time and effort but if you wear leather hiking boots and walk through wet fields you should take the time to take care of the leather.

      In wet weather I don’t wear these two days in a row. If you’re looking for that type of boot you’re also looking at three times the price.

      These boots are so comfortable. I have never owned a pair of timberlands or any other decent pair of boots before but these things feel amazing on my feet. The issue is straight out of the box the leather had several scratches from what looks like the laces from maybe the package being tossed around? Also alot of scuffs and one was already creased where the toe bends. I rate 4 stars because the damage. Would be 5 otherwise. I 100% recommend these boots and will probably be getting another pair in the future.
