Customer Reviews Timberland Chocorua Trail with GORE-TEX®

After reading the reviews, I was sure that these boots were for me. But I was wrong. I work in an outdoor setting where I am standing/moving all day and after wearing them for about two months, I feel like my arches are falling. While they were great because they felt like they didn't need to be broken in, the toe box is really wide, so the front half of my foot slides around even when I wear thicker socks. Likewise, I can't get them to tie tight enough to prevent my heel from sliding around. The shoe is the correct size (a half size smaller and my toes would be crunched up), so my heel doesn't slip around, my entire foot just slides around. I think I'm going back to the Timberland Pro.

I purchased a set of these boots almost exactly a year ago, they were very comfortable, and best of all the liner in the boot worked. My feet never, never, got wet. I wear my boots to work outdoors every day. Some people buy these things for fashion or whatever, but I search for good boots to keep my feet dry. I have purchased Keen, Vasque, Merrells, you name it. I thought I found the best boot. I have wide feet and I think I tear the liner out in those brands that don't offer EE. I was shocked when I put the new boots on. When I picked them up I thought they looked smaller, and when I put them on they were. They were much narrower, I even compared the soles to each other and the actual soles were about 1/4" narrower. I took my insole out of my old pair, and put in the new, hoping it would help, but my toe smashed into the toe of the boot. I can't even wear these to hope that they would stretch out. They hurt. From the most comfortable fit to boots that don't fit at all in one year. Maybe just a mistake, but very disappointed. I may try another set to see if it was just a mis-sized boot.

My only & last pair of Timberlands are 20 years old. These seemed 1/2 size too short. There was no support, especially in the ball of the foot. Thanks Zappos for the quick delivery!

This is my third pair of these Timberland boots. I wear them for day hiking and also for snowshoeing in winter. They are a wonderful basic hiking boot.

I am female but wear these boots in men’s because I need wide. My old pair failed and got wet after a good 10 years of use. No one had my size in men’s so I took a chance and ordered a half size up in women’s. They were way too narrow. Back they go. I live in a rainforest and cannot go without rain boots at this time of year so ordered another Timberland style in men’s and am crossing my fingers.

The best hiking boots I have ever owned. After wearing mine a few times on practice hikes in N. C,, I took these babies for the ultimate field test on Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. They were comfortable for 8 hours +, they held up to the mud, gravel and rocks, the crazy weather and everything that amazing mountain threw at us. I will buy a new pair when I go back to tackle it again. Toes got a little frosty at the summit, so a pair of liners with two wools the next time. Loved the super-lightweight, but rugged soles. I can't praise these boots enough. My husband donated his pair to the porters, but I loved mine so much I couldn't bear to part with them. Thanks for making such an amazing product.
