Customer Reviews Timberland Earthkeepers® Rugged Original Leather 6" Boot

Great boot for everyday wear. Goes with jeans or slacks. Only issue is that the sole is coming part. I would not have expected this so soon after buying these.

I bought these and right out of the box they were really comfortable, but I wear right at a size 13 and these felt huge at size 13. I ordered wide and the entire boot was too wide, from the heel to the toe. It should have been classified as 3E not EE. That being said, my feet were extremely loose in them, making the thin leather construction slouch and sag all around. The shoe itself was comfortable, just didn't fit right. The real problem I had was the sole started to peel off in less than a month. Returned for a different boot.

Great boots for my two sons and husband, but they run at least a whole size too large and I had to return all three pairs. I will start over again when my account is settled. One of my sons currently has this boot in a shorter version and has been extremely happy with it in a very cold snowy climate this past winter.

Great comfortable boots, but the sole wore out after only 6 months walking around New York. I was pretty disappointed and would not buy another pair.

These are good but not great. I just purchased these shoes for the third time in as many years. The fit is great (they run a size big), the leather is soft and distress well over time, and the price is relatively reasonable. I like these shoes and put many miles on them but, the failures always happen exactly the same. The stitching is weak on the two piece tongue and has to be repaired after three months due to separation, the sole is weak and wears flat in a few months; mileage will vary. If you make it to month 12 the sole will begin to separate. If you are asking; why the would I buy these. They are light weight and "good enough" for light trail day hikes and city jaunts. In the summer my feet rarely get sweaty and they shrug off rain just fine. If you are a city dweller who spends weekends outdoors bar hopping, strolling in the park, or knocking out a loop trail these boots are just fine.

The grip from the soles wears out very quickly. Last time I owned a pair they lasted just beyond the 30 days of Amazon’s return policy, while a normal pair of boots or shoes usually lasts half a year or more. Not sure how they could be seen as environmentally friendly with that often replacement.

Boots feel and look great. However I returned them to Zappos once because the stitching in the tongue came out after a few weeks. Got the second pair and the same thing happened in less then two weeks. I can’t imagine I’m the only one with this issue after it happened twice. Design flaw.
