Waterproof boot. Was good when new. However the sole and heel has become hard and extremely slippery. Was soft and had great traction when new. I would not buy again. I'm disappointed, I've used Timberland exclusively for decades.

I chose my size based on the measurement guide. My foot measures 25 cm and I'm a size 8. That's no surprise. The problem is that the boots are smaller and narrower. The materials are also hard and literally hurt your foot. I don't recommend them. I gave it two stars because the color is pretty. That's the only thing I appreciate about it.

I love timberland besides the fact that they are not waterproof I stood in. 4 inch puddle for 3 min and it soaked through I even put mink oil on it a couple times and that seemed to help a bit so not to bad now

I have worn this White Ledge 8W boot for 20 years and they have been a perfect fit. I recently got another pair of 8W and couldn't get my feet in them. So I got 8.5W and I have had to use a boot stretcher.

I'm usually a 10.5 wide and had to go up to a 11.5 narrow width. Boot is incredibly waterproof. However, tread wore down on the 5 pair of shoes. Slipped on the ice and hit my head.

Purchased at a local shoe store in Sept. 2022. I purchased them for work. I am on my feet all day and walking between 10 and 12 miles per shift. Uncomfortable and wore the sole out in 6 months.

I really liked the boots until I tried them on. Unfortunately, the top 2 lace hooks rub my ankles right on the bones. The rivets on the inside left marks through a pair of work socks. I tried positioning the tongue, so it covered my ankles by it did no good. I really wanting to keep them but it wouldn't be worth it if they are uncomfortable.

A little heavier boot than I wanted and felt a bit narrow and not as stable a footbed as the boots I chose

I have used this boot three times for short hikes and I am getting to the point where I cant wear it anymore. There is a thick stich where the tongue connects to the side of the boot, that stitch rests right on top of the ankle bone and feels like a rock digging into your ankle with every step. I have used thicker socks or doubled up on socks and that does help but does not eliminate it. I was hoping by wearing the boot that the stich would "soften" over time, but I have not seen this yet. Other than that major issue, I like the style of the boot and the area where the foot sits is fine and has room for thicker socks for winter hikes.

boots are attractive and seem well built....however after using them for a week of casual wear one of them is failing already....which i might expect from 50 dollar boots but not Timberlands, anyway the other boot seems fine but i have 2 feet lol....so one star for at least looking good and one star for "one" of the boots holding up so far

I bought these to replace a pair of worn out Chocorua, but they were a disappointment. I wanted the full leather upper (without the fabric inserts), but this style was so uncomfortable. The sole felt very flat, cheap and hard. I returned them for the Chocorua with the fabric insert which turned out to be much more comfortable like my old pair.

Heavy duty boot for serious hikers. But the entire toe box felt small and narrow for my foot.

Beautiful boots, great fit, but very poor quality. In less than 6 months boots started to fall apart and water was getting through shoes. Very disappointed

Fit great, not too roomy or too tight especially with the wide width, very comfortable and good grip for hiking along with being decently waterproof. Unfortunately they began to fall apart after only a couple months of non-daily wear for moderate hiking. The toe caps began to separate almost immediately and after about 6 weeks the seams on the sides began to split open. Currently, after about 300-500 miles the inside side seams have 3-4" holes. Good boots but not at all durable.

Very comfortable and lightweight hiking boot. My reason for only two stars is that the tread on the soles of the boots wore out after only 3 months. I do use these for work as a groundskeeper and have put many miles on them but I had hoped to get at least a couple years of use from these boots. The leather uppers are still in good shape but they have become a safety issue on steep slopes because there isn't any tread left to prevent slipping.

The right shoe is defective!!! The inside bottom is not soft as it is of the left shoe, in fact it is hard!!! In addition, the right shoe inside bottom has a rough spot which hurts my foot!!! I am going to return that pair and I am thinking to order another the same one, as I am expecting to get better quality, as I got the last year when I bought the same kind pair!

Unfortunately, these boots did not work for me. There was virtually no padding in the sole and where the tongue was sewn into the side of the boot, there was a large knot of stitching that dug into my ankle and would have certainly given me a blister in under an hour of wearing them. I knew from the first two steps I took in these boots that I would be returning them.
IMHO, it's unfortunate that a good pair of boots in the sub $100 dollar range are almost like unicorns these days. I think you are going to have to spend a good deal of money to get boots that are actually comfortable, well made, and waterproof. You do generally get what you pay for. I would not recommend these boots to anyone that is going to be on their feet all day. I demand a lot from my boots at work, so I had to step up and buy a pair of Danders that were twice the price, but good, comfortable shoes are a high priority in my line of work.

I bought these at Dicks sporting goods and were initially very happy with them. They are true to size and very comfortable. If I had to wear them everyday, that would not be a problem. I don't do a lot of hiking and bought these for when my son and I go on scout camp trips. After a few times wearing them around my yard, we went on a scout trip and it was wet. They failed miserably. These were my main shoes over the weekend and my feet were wet and froze the majority of the time. I could not recommend these boots to someone given my experience, but would recommend if you own these take a second pair of boots.
