Customer Reviews Timberland PRO Rigmaster 8" Waterproof Steel Toe

Bought these for my husband who walks 8-10 miles a day on the job (construction superintendent). He wears out steel-toed boots every six months. So far, these are his favorites and the only ones that pass muster. Generally waterproof, heavy-duty, meets safety regulations, and breaks in FAST (at least on him lol). This is a seriously well-made boot.

Buying my 6th pair of these boots! I work as a craft brewer and spend long days on wet floors with caustic and acids. These boots have great slip resistant and are incredibly comfortable (I wear them on days off too!) I use Obenauf's HD LP wax to help protect them, but the leather and membrane do eventually split where the steel toe meet the rest of the upper. Overall couldn't be more pleased!!

So far, I really like these boots. The break in period wasn’t bad and are actually quite comfortable and flexible but still provide good support. The waterproof leather is also true to its name. I work construction and they’re holding up great.

This is the Toyota Landcruiser in shoes! Any weather, any terrain.

Perfect fit nicest pair I've owned.

I've owned 5 pairs of these boots. I'm about to order my 6th. I love them. I never believed anything but Gore-Tex was waterproof. These are. I've stood in ankle deep water for hours and stayed dry.

I work landscape construction these boots keep my feet dry and clean

It's a great boot have been wearing these for2 years off and on. I do residential and commercial plumbing. Always kneeling down so I finally bent the boot where the steel toe meets the leather and broke the membrane. These were really comfy boots and gave great ankle support. I always use foot powder daily to help with funk and boot smell, the only way to go. I'm always either on dirt, mud,concrete where ever and these things were solid while they lasted.

I've bought 5 pairs of these boots. They're great and I hope they are never discontinued.

Great Service, easy to order, Awesome customer support, Delivery was as expected, Great Boots, Great to have Zappos when Needed. Great job Guys!

Love these boots

These boots are absolutely perfect! I don't have one complaint about them. I don't know how long it will be until they wear out, but when they do n ill definitely be buying another pair!

I love these boots! I'm a pipe welder for a gas utility. I've had a tough time in the past finding boots that wouldn't dig into my toes when I go down to one knee or boots whose toes wouldn't shred if I put the toe top down on pavement while welding. These are indestructible. I'll keep wearing them as long as they make them! Warm enough for winter all nighters but not too warm in the heat of the summer. Love the abrasion resistant material on the toe and heel. I add an insert for Achilles tendonitis because there's really no arch support, but there's really very little I'd change about this boot. I get the 10.5 wide.

First, I needed something that came up over my ankles. Great job there. Needed sturdy material and a good sole. Good there, too. Steel Toe gave great toe room. Right off, I put in my insert and heel pad (I always do that) so there was little chance I'd have arch problems. The shoe fit very nicely as I worked outside(not construction). I like the boot and I would buy it again.

Awesome boot, comfortable out of the box. This is my second pair. The only gripe I've got is the sole is too soft. Just had my first pair re-soled. The leather is still good after 18 months. I oil all the time and plan to get another year out of them. Granted I'm just an equipment operator but I wear them 7 days a week.

The boot overall is comfortable and fits as advertised. The built is toe and heel scuff protection is a very nice touch. They are light and stable on rough terrain and grip well. The only downside is the insole is kind of stiff and unyielding but that can be changed easily and inexpensively. Bottom line is, yes, I would recommend these boots to a friend.

Best boots I have ever purchased. I work roadwork in all conditions. Great boot for the money. I work a 10 hour day, and I like these boots so much I wear them around doing outside work at home.

If you're looking for great boots, get these! Feels like your not even wearing boots, but still get the protection you want and need. Steel toe but doesn't feel like a steel toe. I work on rocks all day, feels like I'm walking in grass. Stop looking, get these!

Following up one month later now, and I like these boots even better than at first! They break in fast - hardly any break-in at all, really - are very supportive during fast walking, uphill, jumping, and provide excellent foot, ankle and leg support ! I use them for weekend chores, including many heavy work duties such as lengthy riding mowing, chain sawing, garage chores and walking around my hilly neighborhood, so not "professionally," but am very grateful to the oilfield workers who gave them excellent reviews, with which I agree 100% ! I really like having safety boots on because I sometimes bump into things I didn't plan on, and can use tips of my boots at times to lift heavy items. And I am a rather critical consumer - trying to be fair and constructively so; I really don't think you can find a better, safer, more comfortable boot for the price. And, when clean, they look really sharp. I even wear them with slacks to church. One more thought for you: we all hope never to be in a life threatening confrontation, but if some bad actor ever comes after me, these composite safety toes will greatly magnify any needed self defense foot strikes - another reason to always wear safety footwear when you are out these days! Truly hope and pray none of us ever need that feature, but if you do, sure hope you are wearing it...think about it!

TimberlandPro 8 inch Ringmaster is truly an outstanding boot! With my original order of various 6 inch safety boots, I included just this one 8 inch boot, just because. I had worn a pair of high back steel toe safety boots during summer construction job 45 years ago. I sure am glad that I added these to my order, as an after thought, really. These are amazingly comfortable with the anti-fatigue feature and super comfortable up around the leg and all the new boot features are amazing compared to regular old safety toe boots down at the store. I am so impressed with these tough-as-nails Ringmasters that I ordered several other Timberland 8 inch safety boots, and really like the quality of the Helix and the McClelland desert boots also! If you do not already know how great the anti-fatigue support system these three models all have under the balls and heels of your feet truly is, step right up to the order page and get some to jump right into right away! Then wear them around the house, on all available surfaces, running, jumping, climbing, hustling on the treadmill, and I will be surprised if you do not find them to be some of the most comfortable boots ever to envelope your paws! Seriously, my feet find them that good - now it is time for me to give them the 30 day trial by fire on all kind of outside surfaces, with Timberland's free one month return policy standing by in case they do not perform as strong as their first impression. And, no, nobody is paying me to write this, I am just sharing how it happened to me. And I will update towards the end of this month's experience. Meanwhile, try yourself a pair and let the rest of us know how they work out for you. Enjoy!
