Customer Reviews Timberland Earthkeepers® Kia Wah Bay 2-Eye Boat

The Timberland Kia Wah boat shoe is absolutely the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever owned. The insole is very "hard", the leather is extremely stiff, and the leather shoe laces are obnoxious to tie.

Within 3 minutes of putting the shoes on I knew they had to be returned. Although the shoes were soft, comfortable, and stylish, the laces felt like hemp or twine and the rest of the material had a rough, paper-like feel to it. I guess that's fitting with the "Earthkeepers" product line so I really should have anticipated this. I ordered a half-size smaller than my sneakers and they were still a half-size too large - expect to order a full size smaller than your sneaker size. They felt true to width. If you look to wear these on a regular basis and if you do quite a bit of walking or standing at work, I would advise against these shoes. If you're looking to wear something nice but casual to Sunday Mass or a barbecue, then you could probably get away with them. Of course I will keep my business with Zappos!
