Have gotten Timberland shoes three times from Zappos. Service has been fantastic. Delivery always in two days and the size has always fit perfectly. Zappos is a great outfit.

Zappo\'s service is second to none, but you already know that if you have had the same experiences I have had with them. The Timberland Kia Wah Bay 2 Eye Boat shoe is a very well made and comfortable shoe. The only minor complaint I had was with the internal part of the tie. The leather tie was uncomfortable but the shoe "broke in" very quickly and now it is comfortable. Keep in mind this is a boat shoe and it looks nice but if you walk alot you may want to look at a Rockport or another walking shoe.

My husband owned a pair of these shoes, but wore them out. He had looked for another pair everywhere. A light bulb came on and I checked Zappos. He was so happy to get a new pair. He says they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever worn. I say they look neat so we're both happy. He always wears them if we will be walking a lot.

Once again the delivery time from Zappos is second to none. I ordered these at 11pm on night and they were at my door the next afternoon.The shows look great and will only get better with that 'broken in' boat show look. Cushioned to walk in and the suede looks better in person that any pictures.Great!

These shoes are incredibly comfortable and are suited perfectly for my corporate casual wardrobe, as well as weekend/church wear. Quality and craftsmanship are superb. They looked fabulous coming out of the box, and 3 weeks later still show no wear. I will be looking to the Timberland brand for all my work shoes in the future, though it doesn't look like I'll be needing any for a while.
Additional Brand Information
The Timberland story begins in 1952, when Nathan Swartz buys part of the Abington Shoe Company. He learns how to make shoes, and starts working on ways to make them better. Timberland history was in the making in 1965 when the Swartz family introduced injection molding to the footwear industry and the first truly waterproof Timberland® leather footwear is born.
The Timberland mission is to equip men, women, and kids to make a difference in their world. Timberland does this by creating outstanding shoes, clothes, watches, and other accessories and by trying to make a difference in the communities where they live and work.

They make boots, shoes, clothes, watches, and various gear that are comfortable enough to wear all day and rugged enough for all year. The people at Timberland don't rest on their accomplishments. If they did, they’d have only made one waterproof leather boot.

I have worn boat shoes for thirty years. More recently I have worn Timberland boat shoes. This time around I elected for this version. It has a slightly thicker heel, and the inside is more padded. This makes all the difference in the world in terms of comfort. \r\nThese shoes are not quite as easy to slip on and off as the original shoes, but the added comfort makes it well worth the while. \r\n\r\nThese are great shoes!

Well made but no arch support. Shoe is slightly wider and a 1/2 to a full size longer than marked. I exchanged my usual size 11 1/2 M for size 11 M.

New Timberland boat shoes -
I like the shoes but they seem larger and wider than the last pair I purchased in a Timberland store. This is the biggest issue for me in purchasing online. Every pair probably fits a little differently.

Timberland review -
Great shoe. The only negative is that there is NO arch support. Most of these shoes have more insole and support than this one. Though, it is a nice shoe, great look and feel, and quality.

I have these for school, very great and comfortable. I did, however, need to add some Dr. Scholl's foot pads after about 5 months for added support. That was not a problem, and they have lasted forever! They are resilient through all weather conditions, as well.

Timberland's Kia Wah -
This is the second pair of Timberland shoes that I've bought. Both fit my smallish foot like a glove. I wish all shoe manufacturers would take a lesson from Timberland. This particular shoe feels like I'm wearing bedroom shoes. They're that comfortable, yet they're sturdy like boat shoes need to be. And they look great.

This purchase was my second pair of these in black. I also have them in tan. I wear them as "go to" casual shoes. Highly recommended!

Bummer, but not giving up on Zappos -
I guess I should have read some of the other reviews. This shoe felt a full size larger than listed. Unfortunately, I wear a men's 6 to 6.5, so I'm out of luck and will have to send these back. Zappos has been great about the returns, which is why I keep trying to find a cool shoe in my size on their site. I'm starting to get a bit frustrated though. It's a tough way to try on shoes. But since I wear an odd size, it's one of my only options.

Feels and looks great. Most of my shoes are 10s. Ordered a 10 in another brand, but it was too big. Exchanged for a 9.5 Timberland Kia. Too big. Went to a 9 for the right fit. They are at least a half size larger. Zappos does it right.

This is a very nice looking, well made boat shoe. It runs slightly longer than expected but is quite comfortable. The only problem I experienced was that the inner sole tended to slip as I walked. It really does not seem to affect performance. The outer finish on the shoe is excellent.

Overall I am happy with the shoe. The material breathes and has superior heel cushioning. I broke my ankle and tore the plantar fasciitis tendon which has made finding a comfortable shoe very challenging. These are the only shoes I have found that lessen impact to where I am not in pain when walking. However these shoes do not have arch support like others stated. I had to insert Dr Scholl’s arch supports in these shoes. I ordered a size larger after reading other reviews and still the shoes are a bit too tight. I have narrow feet yet I find these shoes in normal width are unusually narrow. The bottoms grip well. At work I wear surgeons booties over these Nikes and the threads literally gnaw through the fabric. I have the grey with mist blue color and have gotten numerous compliments on them. I will probably order another pair, but will order 1.5 sizes larger.

Much bulkier than I had expected -
I have owned Timberland Boat Shoes in the past that seemed to last forever. This recent pair of The Kia Wah Bay 2 Eye boat shoe (size 13) are certainly no Sperry Topsiders'. I would never wear these near water. They are nicely lined but are much too heavy for beach wear. They are more like dress shoes. I didn't return them, but I did order a pair of Top Siders to fit the casual bill. Maybe it's just the large size, but they are not what I expected appearance wise, either.

At least one true size smaller than normal -
These shoes have a great sole. I’m not too crazy about the black ones but I got the dark brown and they're good looking. I wear a size 10 with most shoes and I had to drop down to a size 9 to fit into these and my toes still have room to grow.

No Arch support -
I have worn many different Timberland shoes in the past. This Boat Shoe doesn't make it. There is none of the usual Timberland arch support.
At the end of the day, my feet are tired. I do not recommend this shoe.
