Customer Reviews Timberland Earthkeepers® Mt. Maddsen Mid Waterproof

I used this pair of boots mainly for hikes w < 40 lb load, be it day hikes or 12-day trekking, on rainy mountain trails or on dry terrains covered with pebbles. Sometimes I could feel the rock or roots when I step on them; but it did not bother me since I was not carrying too much weight. I always sprayed anti-wetting agent on the boots before going on rainy trails, and the boots always kept my feet dry even if I had to walk on trails with "running water" for up to two hours.

Very comfortable boot

I love these boots. These are my second pair. My first pair did rip on the seam on the left foot within the first year but I still decided to get another pair because they're comfortable and stylish for what I do.

Tread is not too deep so probably not the best for very rough terrain. Being picky, laces are too long!

First pair of Timberlands I have owned. They seem pretty good so far. Time will tell the whole story. I like the laces in that they untie easily.

This is a great waterproof boot. It is comfortable. #SWEEPSTAKES

Bought these days before backpacking trip b/c my others failed and needed something I could use right away. There is virtually no break-in and they are comfortable. And the price is right. But the toe caps and soles are already separating after just a few backpacking trips. There is not a lot of ankle support for serious hiking with a load. I like these boots. But these are for hiking, not backpacking over rough terrain. I'll likely shift to another boot for that use.

I like Timberland products, but I wish more of them were made in the states.

Seems to be a very nice shoe. I just bought it and am very pleased with the design, quality, and feel. Does seem to run a little bit larger than other shoes I have purchased from Timberland's, though.

I bought these for winter time in Seattle and they do serve this purpose pretty well. Waterproof and warm. I would also wear them for some easy hiking but the sole seem bit slippery on wet surfaces so better have microspikes handy if going to wet or snowy/icy areas. Definitely wouldn't risk going out with them for a multi-week backpacking trip in wilderness. The shoe laces were complete disappointment and I had to replace them right after receiving the product. Timberland actually makes some good 47 inch replacement shoe laces that could be purchased from their website for $5.

I wear size 9.5 to 10 ...size 10 has never been small for me sometimes a bit large. I ordered size 10 and they were too small my big toe touched the front of boot. They look very nice however there is not much padding in my opinion> I returned and am ordering size 10.5 and may put a sole insert inside for more padding if there is room.

Good Boots, comfortable.

I good boot for the buck. I don't love it after wearing it for comfort, but overall pretty good

After looking for a decent hiking boot around a $100, I decided that these boots were the best option. They are comfortable and seem well-made. Time will tell. I do wish the sides of the boots were just one solid piece of leather rather than the different pieces with a lot of seams, but the leather is a good quality and I think they will hold-up fine. It's more of an aesthetic thing. I just think simple leather hiking boots look nice without a lot meaningless designs on them. I will say that these boots are not half as bad in this aspect as some others in the same price range. One thing I will criticize a bit is the sole. While they seem to have decent traction, I wish the lugs were deeper. Overall though these are good boots, especially for the price.

Ended up getting a second pair in black. Great shoes. Durable - mix terrain - no too heavy. Can also wear them casually around town. Breathable. Even wear them in summer. Would and have recommend them to others.
