Customer Reviews Timberland 6" Premium Waterproof Boot

Timberland boots, at one time, were one of the best and most durable boots you could get. I used a pair working in a glass shop some years back and they took a pounding. There is absolutely no way the current quality standards they have can produce a boot for any type of work. The most recent pair I purchased barely lasted a few months before the sole started separating from the upper. The people who say they are really durable must be basing their review on an older pair from back when they actually cared about quality. It appears now that they market their "work" boots more toward urban fashion than people who used to get them for their quality. The pair I have was bought at a Timberland store. When I attempted to have them replaced under the terms of their warranty, which used to cover them for any defects in materials or workmanship, they informed me that the company is under different ownership and their warranty policy has been amended to only cover them for 60 days from the date of purchase. Basically it seems they know they produce stuff of lesser quality than before however they have not lowered the price to compensate. Sorry Timberland, but this will be my last pair of boots from you.

Overall I was very disappointed with these boots. I bought them anticipating top notch quality, especially considering the hefty price tag. They turned out to be extremely uncomfortable, and worst of all, not even waterproof like advertised. Only a little snow was able to soak through both boots one morning while I was cleaning out my car, so by the time I got to work I had wet toes. Only after using almost an entire can of water proofer on them did I find them to be waterproof. These are way overpriced for the quality of the boot. Definitely a never buy again kind of boot. Really the only plus side is that they are somewhat good looking, although impossible to keep clean, especially the canteen color. Once I wear these out I will most likely be getting a pair of Chippewa boots. I tried on a pair of those and was amazed at the difference in comfort and qualify. Sorry Timberland, but you guys need to start making better "premium" boots.
