Overall I really like this boot. This sizing is odd though. I figure the right size for me is roughly 1.5 smaller than anything else I own. I've reordered the boot once already, but they don't have the next size down. I really like the boot so I figure I'll get heel pads and make it work.

I wear a size 15/16 depending on the manufacturer. I bought these in 15 and they fit wonderfully. Very comfortable and stylish. I use brown kiwi boot polish on them and, though they did darken up a bit, I think they look great, like an old baseball glove or a briefcase. Would definitely buy again.

Love these so far. The brown color was a lot lighter than I thought it would be (probably should've gone with the dark brown) but it still looks good. They aren't as heavy as I thought they would be, either, and my legs and feet don't get tired from walking around in them all day. I hit them with some waterproof spray and have been loving them in the snow as well. Only issue I have is that they're turning my socks orange, but that'll go away after a bit and it cleans off in the wash. I also normally wear a size 13 in shoes, but had to order an 11.5 in these. I have the classic Timbs and went off of that fit.

I have had many compliments on these boots. They are very comfortable. I wear them almost everyday. Stylish but sturdy is how I would describe them. They are not very warm though as I live in snowy Michigan, but for short term outside activities they are fine.

Very comfortable. not insulated. Runs bigger than size ordered but I wanted the roominess. The product pix makes them look very rugged but they are not. definitely a boot for the city/burbs. I love them. I like the fit. If you want a cold weather boot, I'd pass on these and get something else.

My fiance is obsessed with these. His first pair wore down at the heels after a year or so I bought him another pair for Christmas. He was so happy! he says they're comfy and he can wear them to work at his office. I bought him a half size smaller. He is a12 I bought the 11.5 and they fit great.

Great boot, stylish and comfortable. I bought a size smaller than what I would wear in sneakers and they are still probably a half size larger, but comfortable if you are wearing thick socks. Overall I am very happy, would recommend them to anyone.

Haven't bought Timberland boots in a while. These are great. Couple days to break-in, very comfortable and light. They do run a size large, as I usually wear an 11EE in Chippewa boots, but these I ordered a 10EE and they fit great.

Great boot. Had been eyeing these up for quite some time and finally picked them up. Full size smaller than my other boots and 2 sizes smaller than all my Nike sneakers. I was surprised as just how light these boots are. Soft leather needs no break in. Soft and flexible sole. Comfort is superb for a 6" boot. My only wish is that the tounge was stitched all the way up the boot to provide submersible waterproofing. Like others stated your feet will get wet in over an inch or so of water. The rubber sole grips well and is soft, so soft to the point where I am wondering how long it will last. Hopefully it lasts for years because I don't want to own any other boot. Got these for all around snowy, wet conditions and wanted something that would look good. These fit that bill perfectly. Very pleased.

These boots are surprisingly comfortable and have virtually no break-in period. They're definitely sized large. I wear a 12 and bought these in an 11 which fit me perfectly. A decent balance between keeping your feet warm without making them a sauna. No regrets about buying mine.

I bought these in a 10 for my hubby. He usually wears a 10.5 or an 11 and the 10 fits great. He said they needed to be broken in a little at first, but he likes them. He did spray them with a protectant to help the leather last longer.

Heed everyone's advice and buy at least a full size smaller. I would get a full size and one and a half size smaller to try on. I wear an 11.5 or 12 depending on the shoe but got a 10.5 in this shoe. I also wear heavy wool socks with them and they are a perfect fit. These are the most comfortable boots I've ever had. Like slippers. And I really like that they are lightweight. I know everyone's tastes are different but I really love the style with the high laces and the leather is a soft look and feel.

Very nice boots! I wear a 13.5 and bought these in 13 because I know Timberland runs big. The fit is a little loose around the toe but the heel and sole are very comfortable. These are extremely light compared to my other non steel-toe boots. I haven't worn them out and about but, from walking around my residence for a couple days, they are awesome and very comfortable. I bought them for the looks and they did not dissapoint on that end either!

My boyfriend loves them! But I had to return for a 1/2 size smaller. Should have read the other reviews.

These shoes are very comfortable, although a tad on the heavier side. But they are a boot, right? Also, these shoes run 1 to 1 1/2 sizes larger. I am a size 9, and still feel like there's plenty of room between the toes and the front of my size 8 Earthkeeper. I probably should have gone with a 7.5.

Absolutely beautiful boot that develops a lovely patina. Mine are well over 10 years old as they are the original Earthkeepers. Not waterproof and scuffs easily but overall a long lasting attractive boot.

These are great looking boots that have an adventurous feel. The sole is more lightweight than you would expect from the upper. The contrast stitching is nice. They lace up high which makes them good for fall/winter, along with the waxy finish. They don't breathe very well, and the fit is slightly loose. This is probably so you can wear them with thick socks. I probably wouldn't use them for serious hiking, but they are fine for light trail duty and urban adventures. Overall, a versatile shoe that can get dirty aand clean up well. Wish Timberland made them in a chukka, which would be great considering the lightweight sole with a slight drop.

Love this boot style I wish they had more colors. The only cons are this particular boot style runs a full size too big and the laces are not good quality.

This boot goes with all occasions.
It is stylish, unique and carries both elements of vintage and modern day fashion.
The design especially is very attractive but i recommend more colour variants of the boot.

I bought these as a Christmas gift for my husband. He loves them so much he wore them with an outfit to our new years brunch and they looked so good on him. The material did scratch easily so if you're going for looks these may not hold up#sweepstakes

I ordered a pair of the Original II in Full-Grain Rust. They looked pretty close to the website color. They were a mile too large in my normal size and I decided I liked the lighter, more two-tone look of the more expensive Original. I returned the Rust Original II and ordered a smaller sized Medium Brown Nubuck Original. The box did correctly say Medium Brown Nubuck but they were EXACTLY the same color and leather as the Rust Original II. Very disappointed that the Med Brown Nubuck looks nothing like the pictures. So beware. Also, might as well order the cheaper Original II as they are the same thing!!
