Customer Reviews Timberland Earthkeepers® Rugged Original Leather 6" Boot

These shoes are very cheaply made. The leather is very thin, and while comfortable, is subject to tearing easily. I've torn the tongue on both of them. The leather doesn't give at all and shows creases from wear. You need to oil them and use shoe-trees to prevent this from becoming noticeable. As much as I wanted to like these boots, I don't. I've worn them less than 20 times and they require a lot more care than I'd expect in a newer shoe. On the plus side they are comfortable and look very cool. Also, they run "very" long. I'd suggest getting a full size smaller than you're used to.

Son likes the boots but they are not waterproof as described, wore them in the snow yesterday and feet were soaking wet. Very disappointed, the description shouldn't say waterproof.

I would have given these boots five stars across the board but after two months of wear, the soles on the front of both boots is separating and I cannot believe that they will last very long. It is disappointing because I had been waiting to find boots that worked for so many occasions.

Comfortable, stylish. However, the soles are garbage, wore through them in about 4 months. Not worth the price tag.

I wear a size 15 shoe. Shoe designers tend to elongate the shank of larger shoes without redesigning the overall structure. This results in a floppy puckering shapeless blanket of a mid section adding to the stereotypical "clown shoe" look in some larger shoes. I purchased a 14 in this model after reading in the reviews as to how it runs large. I found I needed a larger size and got the 15. There was a noticeable difference in the shape and structure of the shoes from the 14 to the 15. I then compared my 15 to my roommate's size 12. It was obvious that no redesign went into the larger shoe, simply exaggeration of certain areas. If you have a smaller foot, this is a very fashionable boot. If you are buying on aesthetics and have a larger foot, avoid this shoe.

I bought these shoes in a store. The only problem I had with this shoe is that they are not waterproof. At least the ones I got. Walking in the slush of NYC, I found it really annoying to have my feet wet after spending so much on this shoe. Thank god it didn't snow last year. I need to get a new pair for this year.

Zappos sent me the wrong boot... The box was correct, but when I opened it, there was a completely different pair of boots inside. Very strange.

Soles peel off due to defective glue. Known issue and Timberland warranty not honored when claimed.
