Customer Reviews Timberland Earthkeepers® Mt. Maddsen Mid Waterproof

Need more color option. Especially navy blue.

Used them on a 4 hour hike. The good: The shoes have good grip. They look cool. The most good looking hiking boots I've seen. I stepped in a stream and the waterproofing held up. I've used them only once but they feel durable. Generally comfortable besides the two gripes below. The not so good: As a flat footed person, the insoles hurt my arches. However, this is the exact reason why I bought these shoes: I can simply switch out the insole for an orthopedic insole. Problem 1 solved. The second problem I ran into was when I hiked with these boots in 89 degree California weather. The shoes are not breathable and the inside of the boot gets like an oven. I now know the true importance of breathability. I mitigated this by wearing wool socks. It still gets really hot in these shoes. After these boots wear out I will opt for a more breathable option.

I usually don't write reviews, I really like timberland boots and have done so for most of my life. These last pair I bought online, came defective. Especially now with what is going on with the economy, I don't want to be spending $ on defective boots. I am a bit disappointed at Timberland. Lets see what can be done about it, I will try to exchange them or return them.

This is my second pair of this model. My first was made in Bangladesh, and they served me well for years, which is why I bought another pair. I was not aware that these are now made in China.

Bought for geology work, after about 7 weeks the outsole had worn down by about 30%. By contrast, I used a pair of work boots in a much more abrasive environment (almost all exposed 80 grit sandpaper equivalent rock) for 6 weeks and they saw minimal if any wear. The rubber is probably softer to provide more grip, but some other outsoles are just as grippy and don't wear as quickly. They aren't waterproof by any means unless you really lather in the wax (nikwax in my case). They are comfortable but I found the laces to be excessively long (about 6" too long) and they hang far down off the side making them get snagged. So in conclusion they are good, but I would prefer shorter laces and tougher outsoles.

Poor quality, looks like a fake.

These boots are very comfortable and very waterproof. I have used them on many hikes including shoulder season multi day solo treks. They don't let water through wet grass mud or puddles. 3 stars because you could get something much lighter that would suit you better and your feet are always soaked even in dry weather because there is no were for sweat to go.

They run small, get them in half to whole size bigger.

The boot is very comfortable. I've owned 2 pairs in about 5 years. If I wore them casually, they might last forever.. but I use them for work. I work outside in every weather and my current boot survived maybe 4 rain storms before my socks began soaking up water by the toes. I recommend for casual use. I do not recommend for work or exposure, they are not waterproof.

I had to return these boots as they were cut much smaller than the majority of Timberline boots.

The shoes are great, there was a material defect in the ones I got, so I had to send them back not sure if I buy them again

Fits fine, but top eyelet digs into inside of ankle on both boots. When I first tried them on felt fine, but when I wore them to work it was then that the problem came up. Painful and uncomfortable.

Purchased two pair (Brown & Black) about 2 years ago from a popular outdoor retailer. I've been fairly pleased with the boots as they have served their purpose "okay" for hiking here in New Mexico's southern desert. The three biggest issues are 1) not waterproof, 2) the rubber toe caps pulled away from the boot, 3) the tread wears too fast. Hiking up in the Organ mountains here when there is dew on the vegetation in the morning the boots start squish squashing with water after a few minutes. But I still recommend them as they still are comfortable for yard work.

These boots are great. They are extremely comfortable. But they couldn't survive Mt. Fuji. Stitching on the left side of the right boot tore on the way down

Anti fatigue insole not nearly as good As the aftermarket timberland Anti fatigue insole,love the aftermarket Anti fatigue insole wish they would put it in all there anti fatigue shoes ,not the cheap thing that came with the boots

It ok

Nice boots, very comfortable bought at sporting goods store.Started coming apart at toe but I love the boots but needed more wear for the price I paid...Have only bought Timberland in the past & will continue to buy but will try different boot..

Works.

These are good looking shoes. However, it has poor traction on wet condition especially when stepping on ponding places. The left black rubber at the front on my left shoe peeled off easily and luckily I had superglue to adhere it again. The stitching on the right side of my right shoe tore and it seemed like the overall workmanship of the shoes was below standard. I had previously owned a hiking timberland shoes for almost 7 years without such quality issues. This one I have used for just a year.

These boots are comfortable and fit well. I would also like to add that this boot is truly waterproof. I have worn them through quite a bit of water, and my feet have never gotten wet. However, these boots are not meant for everyday use. I let my boots sit in the closet for about 6 months, then wore them for about 4 months. After 4 months of use the shoes are completely shot. The seems are splitting, the adhesive is giving way fast, and the toe is beginning to wear through.

The boots are very comfortable but do not wear when they could get wet,they will leak
