Customer Reviews Timberland Earthkeepers® Rugged Original Leather 6" Boot

I LOVE these boots! Once fall hits I wear them all the time. Good comfort and all around good looking boot! They go good with khakis or jeans. Personally, I like wearing them with khakis. I would buy these boots again, just cause!

I really like these boots. I haven't put a ton of wear on them yet, but so far they seem durable, comfortable, and stylish. They run very large. I am wearing an 8, and I usually wear a 9.5. So keep that in mind when you're buying these. But they are very comfortable. I live in Colorado and these have been pretty good on ice, ground, light hiking, etc. They are very good all around shoes. Maybe not blizzard boots or appropriate for hiking a serious mountain, but great for every day wear, and comfortable in most conditions. Also, Zappos killed it again with the shipping, returns (when I bought too large), and customer service.

Super comfortable boots. I normally wear a 10.5 in loafers, and a 10 was right on the money for me with these boots. Would recommend these to friends.

Very stylish and run very big. I have to wear thick socks or two pairs when I hike. The original description on here labeled them as "waterproof" only to find out the tongue isn't attached all the way up and they're "water resistant" only. I still kept them as they're sharp looking and comfy, but Zappos needs to be a little more thorough with their descriptions.

Bought these boots about 5 years ago and now feel comfortable writing a review of them. Right out of the box they felt great. Little to no break-in period. I bought them for casual wear on the occasion I needed a boot and not an oxford or sneaker and they were clearly suited for this. Other users complained that they didn't hold up under rugged and stressful conditions and I can see why though also believe these boots weren't intoned for job sites for example. If you're looking for a working boot, these are not for you. Currently the leather is rich and butter and forms perfectly to my foot. I periodically wipe them down and apply saddle soap and occasionally a dark brown polish. They've weathered and held up extremely well. Only downside, and a slight one at that, is I wish I'd bought them in a shorter height. I believe they made them at the time, and may still, but I'm not sure.

I have not worn these enough to comment on the overall comfort and wear; however, the sizing definitely runs large. I normally wear a size. 12 w and ended up with an 11 w. Overall they look good and should work out fine.

I love the look of these boots and they are sooooo much lighter than my daily work boot. However, the build quality is a bit on the poor side. I've worn them about 5-6 times and the tread near the ball of my feet are nearly gone. I mostly drive from a-b so I'm not doing a large amount of walking in these for the amount of wear they have received.

Although these boots are pretty pricey, they are definitely worth it! The dark brown style is rustic and very fashionable. I wish that they were a little more comfortable in the sole area of the boot, but I'm still really pleased with my purchase.

More of a dress up shoe, but really nice. Definitely get a size or a size and a half lower than normal. I wear size 10 1/2 and should have got at least a 9 1/2. Still a very nice shoe.

Very comfortable for me, minimal arch and one of the only boots that have actually felt bigger than the size on the box (11 wide). Plenty of toe room and plenty of width, I can even wear thick wool socks.

Overall good, but the sole separates at the toe when you wear them in the snow. Returned two pairs ( that zappos was great about for the same reason). I finally had to gorilla glue the sole at the toe and have been great ever since.

Super stylish rugged boot -- that is rugged for a stylish boot, not stylish for a rugged boot. The color is great, just a hair darker than the photo. Difficult color to maintain without darkening the leather. Finishing for the most part is pretty good. This boot runs at least a half-size large, I would order 1/2 and 1 size down and keep the best fit. The Timberland insole provided is inferior; replace with a quality insole -- one that cups the heel a bit more -- and you'll find fit & comfort improves markedly. Difficult boot to get on without a shoe horn unless you are the type to only lace a boot halfway.

Great boot. I have a wide foot and it's been very hard finding a wide, waterproof boot. These are very comfortable but run about a size too large. Also, the only downside is that I wish the tongue was gusseted; it seems like an obvious choice for a waterproof boot.

Great overall, the toe was a little pointier than the pictures showed.

While I've only had it for a month so far, this has been a great, very lightweight yet rugged, and great-looking boot. I agree that it runs about 1 size large. No complaints at all, so far.

Comfy, little hard to put on laced up. Feels great once on, very flexible material. I wear a size 14 and these didn't feel like wearing heavy boots at all.
