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.

I've had these for three weeks and for the first two they were fantastic. I love the look and they were super comfortable. This last week, however, the metal shoelace attachments have started to dig into my feet making walking unbearable. Every step is a shot of pain. I've tried wearing them both loose and tight and it's the same problem either way.
I almost bought a second pair but I'm glad I held off. Went from my favorite shoes ever last week to probably the worst I've ever had this week...Also the logo is already fraying off the tongue but that I could live with.

These are great looking boots and they seem to be well constructed. However, I need a wide, not extra wide, just normal 2E. The 2E's for these boots are not wide at all. They are medium. I find this with most companies, that the wide versions are really medium. Do these companies think that peoples' feet are shrinking? I am at a loss to find boots labeled "wide" that are actually wide. So these are terrible for not being wide when they are labeled wide. If your foot is anything wider than what the mythical "average" person is, then look elsewhere.

This seemed like a good boot but at the top of each one on the inside there is a seam that rubbed on my ankle bone just enough to cause me to return. Not sure if I have extra big ankles but it's never been a problem with other boots.

I was surprised (being that they are Timberland) how cheap a feel these boots had. This sole made me feel like I had sneakers on. Hardly and under support under the balls of the feet. I returned them and went with a pair of Oboz. I guess that is why they are inexpensive. They aren't uncomfortable, but the sole is too thin.

The top of the left shoe is dented in the toe area. A rigid layer crushes your toes and can't seem to be fixed. I don't know if this is a defect in the shoe or if it was damaged in shipping. Either way, they are nearly unwearable. My previous Timberlands were great.

These boots only lasted 6 months. I absolutely loved these boots while they lasted, they were extremely comfortable. They were waterproof enough that I could walk through creeks and ag. fields without getting my feet wet, but breathable enough to be comfortable wearing them working 12 hour days in 100 degree heat. I loved these boots, and worked them hard, but I bought Timberlands because I thought they were good quality. A good quality boot lasts more than 6 months though, despite their comfort, I will not be buying Timberlands again, they just do not hold up to the rigors of hiking and working outdoors like a pair of hiking boots should.

For a hiking boot they are very thin/lite .Not sure how they are going to hold up thru hiking rough trails and climbing rocks.But my first impressions are way too lightweight and thin to be a good hiking boot.

This is my second pair. First pair wore like iron, in fact still wear them on occasion. Liked them so well bought a second pair about 2 years ago. The seams on the new boots are breaking free already. My old boots' seams are all still fine, but on the new ones the threads that hold the seams is breaking (rotting?) and the seams are coming free.

I have worn Timberland boots for over 25 years. These are comfortable as usual but after only 4 months they look more like I have been wearing them for 4 years .

These were great boots, they felt comfy and looked great. Good support under your feet. The bad.. narrow, even normal socks are tight near the toes. Really loud on smooth floors. I returned these as I didn't want to wake the neighbors when walking in my house.

I find the trend in timberlands are that they run short and narrow. This fell into that category.

I wore these boots to work for only three days and the rubber on the toe started to peel away. Comfortable boots but not durable enough to be used as work boots.

I have been buying Timberland leather hiking boots to ride on my motorcycle forever, this is the last time. The boots prior to this failed in 2 seasons, I don't ride in Winter, its Utah. Prior boots the leather just tore at the ball of my foot where the leather meets the sole. the reason was leather is so THIN!
It used to be Timberland used thicker better quality leather. As soon as I opened the box I noticed this leather feels and looks even thinner. The fit is good Styling is good and this wont need breaking in as the leather is thinner than my tshirt. As Usual Zappos was awesome with less than a day shipping. I'll keep these & hopefully they last thru this summer.

Way smaller than marked. Unbelievably narrow. I can't stress that enough. Also, they are very uncomfortable. It feels like I'm standing on cement in bare feet, so I bought jell inserts which made them even tighter. I forced myself to wear them, hoping they would stretch. so it's too late to return them. If you have wide feet buy something else - don't trust the sizing info for this shoe.

I wore these exactly 12 times. Collectively about 30 hours of use. Always cleaned afterwards. Stitching already coming undone on the outer seams. I was hoping for a hiking boot that would actually be worth more, these ARE NOT WORTH BUYING! I'm better off going to Walmart and getting their pair that will last longer. Buyer beware!
