Customer Reviews Timberland PRO Rigmaster 8" Waterproof Steel Toe

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!

Great over all boot on the outside and the most comfortable boot I've ever had I'm a welder and also run saws all kinds of fabrication work so a lot of coolant and oil n never slipped once there tough till it comes to splatter I burnt a cpl pin holes at the bottom where the laces are n those crevice are but I love them I seen a pair of them that are met guard that will b my next boot but ill always buy rig master Tim pros great for all weather can wear them anywhere I've had mine for 2 years now and there still very comfy and the steel toe isn't showing there tough I work with alot of sharp objects I just had a buddy retire his at almost 3 years his out sole came apart at the toe but 3 years is good there 130 at our local southern states store that's not that much for 3 years 12hrs a day work plus wearing after work too very surprised that all the features they say actually live up to the description fatigue support is great at 2 yrs in there just good quality boots!

What a great boot, the mesh lining keeps your feet cool in the summer! No break in period. I wear these even when its not required on sites or where I have to walk a lot. Great job Timberland!

Awesome Awesome Awesome!! I've had two pair. On my feet all day. First pair lasted me almost a year. The exterior did not wear out. I wore out the structure stability.

Way too shall. Need a bigger size

After 2 1/2 years of constant wear they have finally lost a stitch and need replaced. I could have them restitched but at this price why. Shopping around but may go with these again as they've stood up to the mining environment very well.

This boot is great except two things: my feet still sweat and the right foot boot rubs on my toes where the inside fabric covers the edge of the steel toe. Other wise they have good traction and are great for stomping around in any kind of work.

Very comfortable once you break them in. The only complaint is that the tread wears out too fast, within six months I was down to the second layer. This happened with both pairs so, I guess its just the materials that are used. If you don't use them on concrete, these would be terrific. Again, very comfortable and good support, but the soles do not hold up to working on concrete and steel grating.

The break in time for the boots was unbearable. They hurt so bad for about a month, which is not totally unexpected for a new boot, so I dealt with it. There are other brands that I have bought over the last, maybe 30 years, that have no break in time. I work outside all night, in all weather, all seasons in the Midwest, so I am no stranger to extreme weather of almost all sorts. Hot, cold, rain, snow, hail, tornados, etc. As far as the waterproofing goes, this shoe was wonderful for about 1 year. Then it wasn't. It leaked like a sieve at the first snowfall of the following season. My number one criteria in a shoe is waterproofing. I tried to work around these setbacks and give Timberland another try. I bought 2 more pairs of a different model boot. The first one, the outcome was exactly the same as this. The second was complete garbage, failing on the first rain it ever saw. I will never but another pair of Timberland Pro's ever again.

they do not breathe, my feet are always overheating, I normally put 1 extra insert in my shoes but with these 2 isn't enough and I don't think I could go a size smaller and have toe room, but they are holding together realy well

Ran too narrow to be comfortable and had to return. Not the most stylish boot either. Great customer service from Zappos.

My husband is the least picky person I know. So if he says the boots are not that good, well then...The length was good, no energy return, no cushion just heavy clunky boots.

I work on a landscapeing crew at night watering plants and on and all types of ground from a construction site to a apt building these boots have split at the toe and are slipping on the side and I haven't had them for more 1 year these are the worst boots I have ever owned
