Customer Reviews Timberland 6" Premium Boot

Frustrated and disappointed. I just wrote a long review about how hard it is to find a 6" lace-up leather boot for women with a wide toe box. These were too narrow, looked cheap, and felt "crunchy" in the leather upper. I didn't really want suede, and didn't really want deep black, so that was 2 strikes against this one already; if there had been any other options anywhere in a size 8.5W with any kind of reliability, I would have taken them. I'm trying to find a lace-up leather waterproof boot that doesn't look so entirely like a giant hiking boot so I can wear it to work. I can't find any wide enough. Men's boots don't come small enough, or look like boats. I have a pair of Timberland Chocura boots (8.5 W) that I have been holding on to for years, and still wear, despite the fact that the gore-tex panels on the instep instantly frayed, and look terrible. I like them still because they are a nice neutral gray-black and go with everything, and are *still* waterproof (and fit!!) The new Chocoruas for women are a dull "camping brown." I'm now turning to Dr. Martens, which does not offer half sizes.

Really nice looking boot with great construction. Unfortunately, it was very uncomfortable across the forefoot due to the fact that the tongue is sewn into the upper, rather than being detached like most boots of this style. Sadly had to return them.

If you're rock climbing, get these. They feel solid as a rock. And about as comfy. They're super stiff. And the tongue folds inward in an odd way on either side so there are thick ridges digging into the top of your foot. ridges digging into the top of your foot. They look cool. And are no doubt sturdy. But so totally uncomfortable I couldn't send them back fast enough. (Meanwhile, I'm keeping a pair of Merrills - which don't look as good but feel great!)
