I have had this boot for 4 years and wear it about 2 out of 5 days a week to work. I would highly recommend this boot to someone looking for a comfortable boot that shows off your lifestyle of liking the outdoors. However, I would NOT recommend this boot as a hiking or "work" boot for industrial jobs. There is not much support for spending all day on your feet. The sole has a lot of give and cushion to it, because of this it wears quickly but I think it's worth the comfort. Great shoe for an office job / traveling / around campus. Mine have held up extremely well as far as construction goes, no problems there. Ankle support is great. I typically wear a 14D boot, These are 13's and fit great so they are sized a little roomy.

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.

Very comfortable and nice looking. Broke in very quickly. As others mentioned, they run big, so you need a little luck to pick just how much smaller than usual to go.

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.

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.

These were my first and only pair of Timberland boots. I really like these boots, but I was disappointed that the stitching came loose on the tongue. I'm really considering buying a new pair, but I am hesitant because of my experience with the first pair.

I've purchased these 3 times. The first version were fully waterproof.. A thick piece of leather connected the tongue and inner boot. Second version was completely detached. Hence no water proof.3 no

Everything is perfect with these boots except one huge con......the soles should be stitched instead of glued to the leather. With anything other than just casual and normal walking usage the soles separate from the leather within 6 weeks. This has happened on both pair I have purchased.

Held up well to occasional use, soles fell apart quickly when I started wearing them more often. I've had to superglue both soles multiple times at this point. No help from Timberland customer service

Size down! I love/hate these boots. They look good, but they're stiff as a board. They're huge. If it fits like a 9.5 then why call it an 8.5? Ridiculous. But I wore them so can't return.

The negative is they don't look like the pictures at all.
The positive is they are the most comfortable pair of boots I own.

Super cute! I love them! Sad mine came with like a glue mark on the pink trim and I got them just in time for an event so I couldn't send them back. But still cute.

The boots have pink trim. I thought they were coming in Women's sizes so I ordered a size 5 but they came as a size 5 in Men's
I now have to return them and I have no idea how to do this. I will never go thru an experience like this ever again. Tomorrow I leave for Guatemala, these were going to be a gift for my daughter. I have nothing now. Terrible.

I bought this to walk around at work. My job is mainly just walking around a warehouse and houses. I thought these being a good leather (and they are good leather) would last a while, but I was wrong. The upper is very much in good shape but where these boot fail is in the sole construction. The sole starter to peel off after only about three months of walking on them. Another thing to note is, the robber sole is very soft and will wear off very fast so keep that in mind. I wouldn't recommend these boots for any kind of work. These are for casual wear and to be stylish that's all, not very durable sole. I love Timberland boots and I will continue to buy them but I'll be careful about what I buy for work from now on.

Color was not at all what is shown in the picture. Returned for different color. The boot itself is very nice.
