Customer Reviews Timberland Earthkeepers® Rugged Original Leather 6" Boot

Great look, but the hollow rubber soles don't hold up. I wore through mine in just the first couple months.

I own two pairs of these, one in black one in brown. The style, comfort, and design all get five stars. The sole gets only one. The soles are poorly made and you slip on every surface when wet. These boots get two stars .

While these boots are great looking and extremely comfortable, they are not work boots by any stretch of the imagination. There is no lining that attaches the tongue to the rest of the boot (like others have said) so the instant you would step in like an inch of water your feet would be soaked. Also the leather is way too supple and has no secondary layer or support to speak of. I have to admit, I am pretty disappointed that Timberland didn't make these "Earthkeepers" more weather proof - I will be sending them back tomorrow.

Great looking boot, super light, and EXTREMELY comfortable due to the ultra soft leather. Unfortunately, because the leather is so soft the boot loses its shape rather quickly, especially in the heel area. Also, runs a full size larger than marked.

Great looking boot that is not designed for use in snow/rain. Absorbs water and your feet get soaked. In addition, the sole is very soft and wears out easily, almost like a sponge. The leather is actually showing signs of wear with two winters of use. Overall, great looking boot when the weather is cold and dry, but definitely not for snowy/wet conditions. I am quite disappointed with this boot given the cost.

I bought this boot in January of 2008. After 13 days, the top leather of the insole separated from the foam base merely from regular foot sweat. I understand earth-friendly adhesives are great, but that was ridiculous. Considering it a manufacturer defect, I attempted to contact Timberland directly to receive a replacement insole. Instead, I got the run around, continually being told to contact so-and-so who told me to contact the next person. Zappos' amazing customer service stepped in, called me, and offered to send me a new pair of the boots and send mine back once they arrived. I appreciated the A+ service I received and won't hesitate to purchase from Zappos, but unfortunately I won't be purchasing another Timberland product. These boots are really comfortable otherwise, and fashionable, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone expecting to wear them like you would actual boots; my Chuck Taylor All Stars have held up better.

Nice looking, uncomfortable, not an all-day boot. First let me say the service by Zappos has been incredible! This boot was disappointing. While good looking, it lacked padding, especially in the tongue. Didn't seem very durable. Certainly not a work boot for someone on their feet all day. Felt like 1930's technology in a modern boot. A classic look, but not the Timberland comfort I have had in the past. I sent these back. Felt a WHOLE size larger than marked!

Awesome boot! I am very pleased with this product. It is super comfy (first wear six mile hike) and problem free! I took the advice of others and ordered one size smaller and they were perfect. However, after just a few weeks the stitching on one of the tongues is coming apart. A bit disappointing. I am going to have it repaired because I do think/hope they will last and because they are just so dang comfortable! Outside of the tongue glitch I give these boots an A+.

These are amazing boots! Bought these for my boyfriend and he loves them! Perfect for dressing up or down. He wears a size 12 and I ordered him a 10.5W and they fit him like a glove! As always, Zappos had them delivered in speedy time!

Looks and feels great. Nice soft leather. Great in wet conditions. Size runs a size bigger. This is my outdoor boot.

I purchased this boot for my bf for Christmas. He wears an 8.5, but have sent this boot back twice in hopes to get the correct fit. The sizing is way off and I'd say it's at least 1 to 1.5 sizes off. We're patiently waiting the arrival of pair #3 to see if it fits. Keep in mind that Zappos only allows you to do one exchange. Anything after that is a return and your original form of payment will have to be credited. Such a pain.

Nice looking boots, great quality, although they run a full size larger.

Felt about a size larger than normal. So far has been a very good boot. Nice looking and no issues.

Great boots. Solid, fashionable, tough. It's cool as well that they are from recycled stuff.

I bought these boots for the winter and for hiking. They have been great. Waterproof, comfortable and look good. Only problem is the size issue. I normally wear a size 10 but I found 8-1/2 fit me best.

Bought these for my 21 year old son. They were a bit too big for him, but fit my husband who also loved them. So, he kept them and I ordered a second pair for my son. They both love them!

Love these boots. I spend 12 hours a day on a construction site and they haven't let me down - comfortable & durable.

I bought these as a gift for my son. He absolutely loves them for both his job and everyday wear. He will not wear any other brand but Timberland. Timberland and Zappos are both superior and I would highly recommend both to everyone!

Timberland Earthkeepers 6" Leather Boot - This pair of boots feels and looks great, I just got mine so I'm not sure how durable it's gonna be but these are more for light duty. It has a soft sole (although it doesn't seem like it in the photo) gave it a pinch and wondered if it would hold up but they do flex as you move with it pretty good. As they've said no break-in required, really comfortable out of the box and definitely looks good with jeans or khakis (got mine in black). I normally wear a size 9 1/2 followed the review and ordered a half size smaller and it was still big so I returned it and ordered an 8 1/2...still not right, finally ended up ordering a size 8 and at last got it to fit perfectly. So all in all if you like ordering stuff online like I do, I strongly suggest to order at least a full size smaller, so if you do have to exchange it still at least you only have to do it once and not twice like I did or you could test fit it first at your local shoe store. Overall experience with Zappos has been great, they have real good customer service, and I couldn't be happier with their shipping process. I'd definitely come back here again!!!

Great Boots! Very comfortable right out of the box and truly waterproof. I have walked through snow and deep standing water and my feet remained warm and dry. I would highly recommend these boots.

Very comfortable - One of those rare pairs of boots that require no break in. Very comfortable the first time on the feet. Very similar to Timberland Pro series in terms of fit at a significantly reduced weight.

Nice Boots - Very comfy right out of the box. Don't look quite as cool in person as the image online, I think because the stitching contrasts more in the photo but is the same color brown as the leather in reality.

Great boots for walking in Boston during the winter - All I can say is thank you Timberland for a great product and for keeping in mind the environment.

Recycling and looking good doing it! These are the best looking boots I've owned in years! The fact that the box they came in was made from recycled materials impressed me, the fact that I only found a couple of pairs of boots that used any recycled materials in the shoes (I think they were all Timberlands) was shocking to me, we’ve all got to do our part. Thanks Timberland for setting the standard, and I might add, you set the bar very high with these boots!
