Customer Reviews Timberland Earthkeepers® Rugged Original Leather 6" Boot

Always wear a 12 but these boots were too big. Tried to order a 11.5 and all sizes except 7.5 are gone. Very frustrating.

I like the way they look, but not the most comfortable pair of boots I've owned. Where the tongue fold over and had a seam, it digs into my able and hurts after awhile.

The style of this boot is great, but they run very large. My son wears a 13/14 but the 12 was even to large. Had to go down 2 sizes.

It's a work boot that is used mainly for fashion depending on the region

I sent it back due to it being a size too big. I want to be fully refunded

I haven't had chance to wear on extended walks, but initially the boots is comfortable with reasonable support. It will take some time to break them in. The stitching looks good. Because of the stiff leather, Its going to take some time to break in the higher support around the ankle. Its clear the boot was made to meet a price point, it comes with cheap laces, the leather quality is low average, and the shading to make the boot look "worn in" just makes it look tacky. Fortunately the laces can be replaced at a reasonable cost, the leather should improve with some extended use of leather conditioner and I hope that the shading will blend better or disappear with extended polish and/or leather conditioner. The boot is at least 1/2 size too big. Fortunately I always wear with heavy socks and use an arch support insert so the size works about right for me. I just hope it doesn't stretch out with wear. I have an old pair of Timberland Pro Direct that are almost 15 years old. They were great boots from the start with great leather and comfort immediately. Unfortunately they have finally reach their end life. I doubt that these will last as long. I know Timberland made these boots to a set price point, I just wish I could find something between these and Chippewaa, etc at $400 plus. There just isn't much at the $200-250 price point. That all being said, I would still recommend to someone looking at this price point.

The material was definitely more rigid than the classic design. I liked the texture of the shoe and it looks very sharp but when it was worn the materials felt hard and rigid and the stitchings inside kept poking my ankles. Maybe with a long pair of socks, you won't notice it but it's not for me.

the size was a half size too large than what normally is worn as footwear.

Nice looking shoe , normally a size 15 in timberland boots but there seemed too big and clunky

Ordered the other week, came quick in the mail. Boots look good and appear well made except for the sizing being off. Ordered a 12 when I put it on it was like a 13. Sent that pair back and waiting for my refund to try again. Hope that I can get sizing right this time.

By far the best ever in the timberland collection. I have tried many from hiking boots, timberland pro and earth keepers. The earth keepers sole is the problem. The top will never die or give way. Although I received mine with a sewing problem. The heel has small boxes and then rubber beneath. This is for comfort. Out in the field sharp stones pierce the soft rubber and then water and air begin to enter the shoe. It is the finest made shoe but needs a stronger sole. The Timberland Pro has a stronger sole. If it had a sole as strong as a timberland pro it would be the greatest of all. I had a machete fling out of my hand and hit the shoe at full impact without cutting me. It cut the leather without cutting my feet. I thought I would have lost my foot. The sole needs to be improved. I am hesitant to recommend to someone.

I hunted down these boots for a couple weeks, trying to get them on sale rather than pay the full amount as I thought it was a little much. But they never went on so I ended up giving in. When they arrived they were different than I had imagined (not quite the look of the picture, but close enough). Regardless, they were stylish, comfortable and lightweight so I gave them a go. The anti-fatigue innersole was fantastic, giving the boots a sturdy feel, and my feet didn't hurt after long days walking. So far they fair pretty well with casual use as opposed to every day wear in order to keep the cheap, weak soles intact. However, after receiving them and wearing them around- I enjoy them, but I do not think they were worth the price. Far too expensive, in my opinion, for just a casual boot.

Super comfortable and perfect in every way other then the dye coming off and staining my skin black.

I have purchased them twice. Love the style. Wear with many outfits. A real good buy. Except all that ended on this last purchase, the boots looked fake. The lining to the shoelaces and ankle lining looked fake. They did not look like leather, the insole was different, the tree logo under boots looked nothing like the original logo. I did return them and now I am waiting . Very disappointed, especially because I purchased from Timberland online store.

Just ordered too big

These boots look great and are better for the environment than others, but that about all the Pros. I've worn mine about 30times and the bottoms are falling off. The fit is way off. I even went down a size like the associate suggested and they are so loose once they broke in. Very disappointed.

These are good looking boots but are not true to size and will stretch and wear quickly.

The boots looked very nice, but were just a little darker and less stylish that they looked in the picture. Other friends liked them, but it wasn't the style I was hoping they would be as they looked a little more grungy than the picture.

Unfortunately I'll be returning these boots. I purchased them as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, who goes through a metal detector at his job. The description advertised the boots as "airport friendly", but these did not pass security. I'm very disappointed because overall they seem to be great boots.

No exchanges, need to buy a new pair to replace and mail back, waiting for credit

These shoes look great but do run about a 1/2 size too big. They have a rugged look but a soft fee.l
