Timberland PRO Men's Pit Boss 6 Inch Steel Safety Toe Industrial Work Boot

These are top notch boots, durable, stylish, and comfortable. They have replaced my previous favorite: caterpillar. And Amazon delivered them in pristine condition.

Timberland sizing is always a mystery to me. Depends on the type of boots you buy from them, sizing are all over the map. For regular timberland classic boots I had to go down 1 full size to get a good fit without my heel slipping and excessive room in the toe box. That's what I was planning to go with before I bought this steel toe boot, thank god I read the reviews on them. 1. Sizing: For this boot, you really want to go to your normal true size. Now, everyone has a different opinion on what their true size is, the way I determined mine was that there is no heel slippage, and I have enough room in the toe box that my toes are not right up against the end of toe box. For most Nike/Adidas/Jordans, I am a size 10, and they typically fit me just as I described above. For this pair of timberland, I went with a size 10 with normal width. The fit was good, but not perfect. Due to the steel toe, the toe box are narrower, and shorter then typical Timberland, and since it's a work boot, the insole seems to be thicker and provide better support than regular Timberlands (i'm comparing it to Timberland classic 6 inch boot). All that translate to a smaller fit when compare to a Timberland classic 6 inch boot. So when I went true to size, it felt good. Only complain is that the heel of the boot is wider so I do have some heel slippage, but this was easily remedied by thicker socks or socks with heel padding. 2. comfort: I bought this mainly to work in a laboratory condition where there are heavy machinery, so I don't walk in them all day long. However, I did notice that the support was excellent and my feet ain't tired at end of the day despite the fact that this pair of boots is HEAVY! 3. lacing: I like to provide some comment on lacing. It's hard to to tie this pair of boot up "snug." What I do I mean by snug? Well, typically when I lace up a boot, I like to make sure I felt a little bit of pressure from lacing it up from the top of my foot up to where I tie a knot. However, because of the steel toe and it being a very stiff boot, I can hardly feel any pressure on top of my foot when I lace it up. But since my foot isn't moving around in the boot, I was ok with it. You can lace the top of the boot tight once you get past your ankle though, the top of the boots does have more give to them where you can lace it up tight if needed. 4. Overall: Great boot, on the heavy side, but provided great support. Durability review will come later.

Bought these as part of a 2-3 week contract that involved working in a production plant. They arrived on time. Fit was good. For those who might be concerned with style, they look great with jeans or chinos. They are not water proof, but I did put some mink oil on them which provided some water resistance. The boots broke in nicely with just a 1/4 mile walk around the neighborhood. No complaints. Read some reviews that talked about a back seam which caused irritation or blisters. I don't have such a seam on this pair. I would recommend probably doing half a size up if you are going to wear heavy socks. These fit me well but if I were to wear a pair of insulated socks I would probably want half a size up. All in all, a nice boot. Looks classy if you end up if the front office as opposed to the production plant side. Got plenty of compliments about them. Only negative side is they need some leather balm and a mink oil treatment before you put them into use. Beats boots I have tried on at Walmart or other similar "big box" stores. UPDATE: I noticed about 4-5 days after I purchased these the price went down significantly, about $30, they were still new in the box but I needed them in just a few days. I called Amazon to request a price adjustment seeing the difference was pretty stark. At first the agent told me they had a no price adjustment policy but I could return them and purchase a new pair. I pointed out that was pretty absurd seeing that I liked the item just the price change was about 30% in the just a few days. Plus I needed the item in about two days which would not have given the replacement enough time to ship. After being put on hold for a few minutes I think the agent got approval from the supervisor to simply credit my card. I was overall happy with the customer service experience, but almost every merchant has some sort of short term price adjustment policy. I know part of Amazon's business model involves "dynamic pricing" depending on demand, inventory, and supply, but to require a full return (with them paying the shipping) for an item just purchased in order to effectively get the lower price is both a waste of time/money for Amazon and a hassle for the consumer to have to mail back the entire product (especially during the holiday season). One further update, make sure to purchase the steel toe version of this boot if that is what you desire. There is a soft toe version that looks identically the same that is cheaper but does NOT have a steel toe. A friend found this out the hard way when he called me up to gloat he got a pair even cheaper then me. He was not so pleased with himself though when I asked if he got the steel toe version he required for work only to find out it was the soft toe one.

Photos are after wearing about 60%-75% of days. They are comfortable enough, and I forget they're steel toe (and I don't need that but these were lower priced at the time). You can see in the photos how they have worn over seven months' time, take note of the crack in the sole. Are these good year welt construction? I don't know, but I also don't know if any cobblers in my area, so shoes that won't last have to be affordable. I expect a cobbler to resole them would cost more than half the price of replacement, so you know what that means. I expect these to last me another 5 months to make it a full year, and by then they'll probably be bald-soled. I never tested them for waterproofing but with that crack in the sole I doing they still are. Also, the shoelaces are starting to fray where the speed hooks are, so they'll need replacement soon I think.

The most comfortable and durable work boots that I have owned, the previous pair I owned felt a little lighter than this pair but they lasted for years. There's plenty of room near the steel toe good arch and heal support and waterproof.

Si te interesan estas botas tienen cuenta los siguientes puntos que yo he notado tras algunos días de uso: 1. Pídelas en tu talla normal en USA en versión W, si eres 26 cm, pide 8W, y de preferencia has tu pedido en una PC, para asegurarte que sea realmente tu talla, pues en algunas selecciones te aumenta un número y solo puedes ver eso cuando estás por pagarlas. 2. Úsalas con calcetas largas, especialmente si tienes mucho vello, pues el cuero y el alto de la bota lastima un poco. 3. Si las vas a pedir que sea con las plantillas Pro de Timberland. Las que trae tienen muy poco soporte de arco y son incómodas. Fuera de ahí, son unas botas bastante resistentes, se siente de muy buen material el cuero, la suela, leí que son muy frías por el casquillo durante el invierno, pero a mi parecer son bastante aislantes. Actualización, tras un año de uso la suela de la bota se acabó. Ya casi no tienen relieve, el cuero o más bien la imitación de cuero es resistente pero se secó y por ende comenzó a abrirse, dejando el casquillo al descubierto, y las agujetas se comenzaron a desgastar.

I bought these for my son who works outdoors and he is very pleased with them. He likes the suede finish, the fit, the comfort, the durability for a worker who wears them daily in rough use. They fit true to size although hs feet are on the narrow side. He said he didn't even need to break them in - that the fit was perfectly comfortable from the first day. He trusts them for safety as the steel protection is where it ought to be for maximum protection and comfort. This was a very good buy and definitely worth the price.

Je les utilise depuis maintenant quelques mois très bonne paire de chaussures merci 👍👍👍

Nonostante la marca, con cui mi ero sempre trovato benissimo, questo stivaletto non rispecchia in alcun modo la qualità costruttiva e dei materiali che furono all'origine del successo di Timberland. Lo stivale è rigido, scomodo, e causa vesciche ai piedi. Non so dove sia stato costruito, ma non ha nulla a che vedere con gli eccezionali stivaletti Timberland che comprai nel 2006. Non lo consiglio assolutamente. Restituito.

Muy recomendable este par de botas Timberlan Pro, yo trabajo en Construcción Industrial y son excelentes!!
