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.

Leather has a weird feel to it, almost synthetic. Not like other pair of Earthkeepers I own.

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

These boots are awesome. They are very well made. Very trendy. But have a purpose.
HOWEVER, this color in particular is mis-represented by the pictures. The colors in the pictures are more dusty and tan, but the boots actual color is a warmer brown.
Zappos isn't the only site that shows these same images.
In fact, I thought it was a mistake, but then went to a competitor and the shoes are the exact same color!
The images give users the idea they will be a lighter yellowish tan, but in reality they are much darker and warmer than the pictures suggest.
I would give 5 stars, but took two stars off for the color. However, I did keep the shoes because they were such great quality for the price.

Laces already falling apart after a week of wear. Some of the cuts that add style to the boot are uneven and easily distressed after a week. Not typical quality I expect from my fifth pair.

I have had two pairs now of these boots.
first was in a desert suede. Second was in brown leather. Both pairs of boots look great and are very comfortable straight out of the box.
The down side is these boots wear out on the soles and heels long before the uppers come near to wearing out. If you wear these boots every day then within 6-9 months I reckon the heel/ sole is worn.
9-12 months and they will become unwearable due to uneven soles/ heels.
These boots look great with any outfit and the more you wear these boots the more the upper becomes more comfortable.
However the soles and heels you can just forget about.
I now have two pairs of what are awesome boots, with years left in them. But need to find someone to put new heels and soles on. When I do that then booyah!

This boot has almost non-exsistant arch support. The insoles felt completely flat when I put them on. I can't see how these would be comfortable to wear for long stretches of time without buying inserts for them. Very disappointed to have to return these.

These are good looking boots. I usually wear a 13-14 in Nikes or Adidas so I ordered a 13. They were huge! Go at least one size smaller than normal. They look great with jeans.

I share the same sentiment as most reviews on this boot. They look fantastic and feel comfortable for all day casual wear. I normally wear a size 11 and 10.5 on most brands, but for this boot I had to go down to a size 10 for the right fit. I bought my first pair back in January '15, and recently have the sole on the left boot start to peel off in the front. I called Zappos customer service and they graciously sent my a new pair. I hope these new ones last.

Sizing is horrible. Go one full size down. I started out half a size down, that was not even close.

I wanted a stylish brown boot that I could wear in the rain or snow and then wear into a restaurant in the city. These are clunky, plain-looking, and the treads are too large. There's not much style. They don't look like the picture online. The Leather is smooth and plain; in the picture the leather has texture. The lace holes are not shiny like they are in the picture. I'm returning them.

Felt great and looked great, but after 4 months the sole on the right boot began to come off after only using them a few days out of the week to walk on pavement.

They are fine. Wish the top 2 or 3 eyelets were hooks. Little too long also.

Love the boot style and fit, at least for the first few months of wear. After that I had to buy inserts as I felt the fit change drastically. I also noticed my feet were starting to feel unstable in the shoe. In looking at the shoe I realized that the heels of the shoe were worn completely down. This changed the entire way my feet fit on the platform of the shoe causing discomfort and an unstable shoe. Don't expect more than a few months out of this shoe if you wear them regularly.

I love them except...after about two months some stitching came apart, not too bad, livable. When the soles started separating is when I started to be disappointed. VERY, VERY comfortable and stylish! I love the way the leather ages. I rated it three stars until I see what Timberland is going to do about it.If they make it right and do something about the obvious defect, I'd be more than happy to give them 5 stars!

The boots fit great out of the box which is to be expected with the softer leather. That said, the sole wore out after a year or so of casual use. I understand the Earthkeeper is eco-friendly; however, boots of this price/caliber (Timberland) should last several seasons. Had them re-soled by a recommended shoe repair shop yet the gum sole could not be replicated.
