Customer Reviews Timberland Earthkeepers® Brook Park Chukka

I walk quite a bit and these are very comfortable shoes that offer great support. I do have one complaint, however. There is raised stitching in the back of heel area and it completely rubbed the skin off of my feet. I developed blisters on both heels.

It fits really well and the leather feels soft. Hoping it's durable. I got the black shoes, and the brown trim gives an accent which makes it look a little less formal.

I am a musician and needed a pair of black shoes that I can throw on from my car at a moment's notice to play a gig. These shoes fit that bill perfectly. The backs of the shoes are a bit sharp against the backs of my ankles, but I don't wear them for more than a few hours at a time. Maybe that would be more troublesome if I wore them longer, or maybe that will go away the more I break them in.

Beautiful looking shoes, fit the shoes very well and the skin is rather soft.

These shoes are great for everyday and nights out.

nice shoe, and comfortable. but they are very long and narrow. i ordered 1/2 size smaller than normal and it's still a little long, and i had to order the widest size i could find. i have worn timberland shoes for 15 years and have always had a 9.5 (US size). the 9.5 in this shoe looked like an elf shoe with a long, pointy toe and i couldn't really fit into the standard width. so order carefully.

I finally pulled the trigger on the tan color of these chukkas. These have changed the way I dress entirely. I wear these with colored chinos mostly and they are great. Get tons of compliments on them. Very classy. Not as comfortable as my Boot Company Wodehouse Chukkas (which are the best shoes I own) but these will be in my regular rotation for years and for the money they are a great value. Almost bought the blue as well.

This boot is great for causal and formal wear.

Great boots. Go with casual or dress clothes

Look good

These look good and go with just about anything casual. I get lots of compliments in them. I ordered my normal size but they are a little big. You could probably go a half size smaller and be ok.

Ok but the size ran big.

Casual and dressy

A good shoe for business cashual, dressed up or with jeans.

I am pleased with the "rough leather" look. I will be able to wear these shoes every day to work.

This shoe is EASILY 1/2 size too big on me, But I ordered a half size down and it is very comfortable. I was looking for an all leather, dark brown chukka for less than $200 that looked like more than $200, and that was somewhere on the line between dress and casual--something to dress up a pair of jeans and dress down a coat and tie. This was the only pair I found that did all of it. Excellent.

These chukkas fill in the middle ground between a dressy suit shoe and moc toe loafers in a very stylish manner. The leather quality is exceptional, very supple, with a deep dyed color that does not go lighter in the creases over time. These feel to be boot lasted, so expect them to mold to your feet over the first half dozen uses. It's best to wear them on a sedentary day at first to allow the most stressed points to adjust without hurting your feet. The stitching on the uppers is very fine and precise, the hallmark of a quality build. The stitched-on soles look great, and the welt (the strip that fills the gap between the upper and the sole)should add to the durability of the shoe. Structurally, the shank is very stiff, providing solid arch support. While the heel looks very low, that's only a design flourish. The shoe is built up on the inside at the heel to a conventional heel to toe pitch. These have a medium arch. You can easily change out the insole if you need more. The forefoot area is very flexible, which eliminates the 1 to 2 week break in period of serious walking/hiking shoes. The tradeoff is that there is fairly light midsole protection against stones and and rough terrain. The tread is not deep, but provides high traction, both wet and dry. These are not for off trail use - you will beat up the ball of your foot. Stick to sidewalks and smooth paths. You wouldn't want to nick up the fine grain leather anyway. These are urban shoe-boots. At this early point in my ownership, I can't say much about the durability prospects, other than to note that a fabric liner is more likely to wear through than a leather liner. The fabric does appear to be pretty tough, though, and there is a leather patch lining the heel cup. Unfortunately, those grippy soles make these shoes no good for dancing. It's a small point, but the laces on these actually stay tied. It's not easy to find decent laces! I note that the heel tab on mine is not nearly as tall as pictured, which is fine by me. Overall, I'm very pleased with this puchase - I may get a second pair in black!

I wear these sparingly and within about 10 uses I'm seeing alot of wrinkles so I'm concerned how long they'll last

Bought these boots a few years ago and they're not bad, although I don't think i'd buy them again for a few reasons... The laces are terrible. I've gone through 2 pairs of laces already. Most shoes I'll hardly ever go through 1 pair. The boot is a bit tight on my foot, it feels like it should be wider (i bought standard width like I always do). They're a good fall boot, but in the winter your feet get cold in them.
