Timberland Men's Rugged 6 Inch Plain Toe Waterproof Lace-up Boots

I bought these on a whim and I've had hit and miss boot/shoe purchases on amazon before and you never quite know what actual colour the boot will be till you open the box.I'm glad I did they look great,the colour was great and they are super comfortable with the good insole provided. They are not slip on boots you have to undo the laces loose to get the foot in and at the beginning the leather tongue did chaff a little as it doubles back for the waterproofing, but I found using all the lace holes and not doing them up crazy tight stopped any irritation immediately. I got these super cheap compared to westfield london timberland shop and am almost tempted to buy another pair at this price and leave them in the back of the wardrobe for a rainy day. I'm a bog standard UK size 9 with an average width foot and they fit perfectly with a normal sock. They would scratch and mark up easily given rough treatment but I think that would come out with the timberland wax.

Simply the best boot ever, perfect fit, perfect quality, not too big or small, just perfect. So comfortable to walk in and keeps the rain out, can step in a deep puddle at least two inches high and feet stay perfectly dry! I'd expect to pay five times the cost of these beauties for a boot this quality, so I was shocked that the price was so low! Just an added bonus... These replace a pair of timberlands I've had for five years, and they take some beating, but these are just perfect.To sum up, the best boot you can buy, well worth the investment. Never go out of style, your feet always stay warm and dry and your wallet is happy too. Perfect

These are the nicest boots I've ever worn and I've worn a few! These boots are ridiculously comfortable yet remain functional and waterproof. This means that they are ideal for the upcoming winter months as they are warm and provide great traction. Furthermore there aren't many boots out there that look as good as these do. Timberland has never let me down in any of my purchases and I love the brand itself.You really do get what you pay for and it may seem like its a lot of money but Timberland boots are so resilient in terms of wear and tear, they will easy outlast a cheaper alternative so you're probably saving money just through the investment and not having to replace boots. Even with that said the look of the boots is fantastic and better than the alternatives regardless, even those that are actually more expensive.

Fit is good with one catch. The regular timberland boot has a tongue that is split either side in the conventional manner after the third eyelet. The tongue on these is uncut all the way to the top, keeping them waterproof to a higher level. Unfortunately, if you lace the tops of your boots tight for ankle support, the doubled over tongue gusset rubs on my inner ankles and is a killer in a short period of time. Easily fixed by cutting out, but a bit of a design fail. Laced loosely, this would not be an issue, and it is only a ten minute job to fix. Well made but benefits from a couple of applications of Dubbin.

Good product

I needed a pair of boots which I could use for walking in the Lake District. These boots are intended for light walks but I found they fared EXTREMELY well in the boggy terrain and puddles through the fells! They're great since they're stylish enough to wear out and about too!If you plan on walking through wet / muddy terrain please take care of your boots. Here's a brief guide:1) Unlace the shoe2) Apply a light coating of wax with a sponge to the entire boot, the boot must been clean AND dry before waxing! I prefer Altberg Leder-Gris Waterproof Boot Wax / Oil For Leather Boots 80g Tin (Clear)3) Leave the wax to work its way into the leather for several hours4) Keeping dirt off your boots substantially increases the boots lifetime, after each walk, unlace the shoe and clean off all the dirt with a damp rag (Do not use a soaking wet rag! Ring out most the water before cleaning the boots!)- You should wax your boots once every two weeks if you are walking in wet terrain regularly, or once a month for light wear.- Never try to dry your boots quickly by a radiator / fire, this can crack the leather- Do not over wax your boots, it can reduce breath ability of the leatherOverall I loved wearing these boots, extremely comfortable and never got wet feet! They did however suffer minor scuffs when scrambling over rocks (When you re-wax the boots these scuffs disappear)

The fit is slightly large, but perhaps that's with all Timberlands. I had to go a half size down and could've gone a full size down, though they were slightly tight in the width but might have stretched.Also, 2 different pairs were quite different colours. One was as expected- quite rugged and the leather shows wear marks very quickly. I quite like that. The other is much more 'polished'. The colour is deeper and doesn't show wear marks as quickly. They also had different laces. Feels like quite different batches. However, both were nice and I wouldn't have minded keeping either.Lastly, pretty sore to wear for first few days but softened up and now quite comfy.

1st time reviewer with Amazon...I had looked at these in a major high street store retailing at £160. Thought I would have a look on Amazon and I couldn't believe the price, obviously alarm bells were ringing and after reading reviews and gut instinct I took a chance, and I'm glad I did, these are the real deal, not fakes or secondary stock, arrived as per presented as in shop, in box, size wise I'm a regular UK 10 in everything, I ordered UK 10 in these, perfect fit, they will need to be worn to loosen leather, although pretty standard practice in leather boots. In finalising....order these if you are looking for a stunning boot, and practically, at a fraction of uk high street price, I'm wearing mine with my kilt for casual wear. For once I'm a happy man !
