Bought these boots, super Comfortable and probably one of the best for toe spacing and breathability. Unfortunately I stepped in one puddle (approximately 3" deep) and my foot was completely soaked. The boots were only 3 days in use at this point. Unless I got a bunk pair, I wouldn't recommend buying for a waterproof boot

Had for about two weeks. Lighter than they look. Good tread. Left boot rubs top of foot in an almost unbearable way. Right boot rubs my ankle in an almost unbearable way. I have to wear them loose. Hoping they break in in the next two weeks or I'm returning. Not being picky, they are painful on my feet.

I'm a maintenance guy for a school district so I do a lot of walking, the back of my leg gets so raw from the boot rubbing it's almost unbearable. I've had to switch back to my old thorogoods multiple times. Also I've never wanted to get home so fast to remove these boots because my feet hurt so bad around the ball of my foot. I've only had them for about 3 months so I can't comment on the durability, but the look is very nice I just wish they would address the back of the boot it is so painful.

Overall the boots comfortability is good, they were good for winter in Michigan. Pure and simple though for the price you pay for these boots they should be made to last longer and be able to stand wear and tear on construction sites. These boots lasted maybe 8 months and the soles detached. There are betters boots out there like thorogood that will with stand a construction site better then these.

I bought these boots one year ago. Worked part of last year as a landscaper, now as a General Contractor. The boot lace grommets re deformed from just using the laces and one keeps cutting the laces (paracord) I tried smoothing it out, but I can not. The soles are also falling apart.

These boots are comfortable, but they are far from waterproof. Cannot even walk through snow in these without my feet being wet. That does not sound waterproof to me

I've had these boots for about a month now and a few trips out into the snow during work my boots get increasingly wet on the inside in the toe area to the point where it's still wet in the morning so the problem just continues to get worse

I walk on concrete or asphalt a solid 8-10 hours per day. I'll put three to six miles per day on them. These were and are still the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. Why then only two stars? I have had them only 6 months at the most and the heel and soles have worn out. I can not pay the price these boots bring and have them wear out that quickly.

I bought these boots 6 months ago, I work at water and grease recycling plant, very wet job! I work 6 days a week anywhere from 10-16 hours day, my watch says I average 12 miles a day and these boots were amazing water proof, nice feel, and very comfortable! I liked them so much I recommended them to all my guys. The unfortunate part is they DONT LAST! the leather rip where the boot meet the sole, 3-4 in tear! Now everything enters my boot! Usually a pair of boots last a year or two. Its sad because these boots are great if your on your feet alot, just dont get them wet!

Advertised as waterproof. Definitely not waterproof. I've had these boots for 4 months and ever since the first day it rained they have never been waterproof. Not even water resistant. Great boot but not waterproof

Very comfortable boots like them a lot at first. I put protective oils on boots for water. Also reapplied every couple of weeks. As job sites tend to get wet and muddy. Fast forward 4 months.. So after walking through job sites with rain&mud the grey cushions in the sole basically just crumbled out of the soles. To the point there was a gap! Couldn't walk the the boots anymore without twisting a ankle. Kinda sad I really liked the boots. If your job site has water STAY AWAY from these!!

I bought this almost 4 months ago and I work at a wastewater treatment plant so I'm constantly hosing things off and my feet are always exposed to water. So I bought these hoping that they would hold up, but water is always seeping in. Other than that they can be comfy and I would suggest not getting the wide because I'm usually a wide and these feel a bit wide for me

So far only 1 issue. The top lace buckles dig into your ankles and legs. Had to add extra padding to keep it from hurting during the day. Otherwise, pretty solid work boot. insole is comfortable compare to other boots but the lace buckle thing is driving me nuts...

I've bought two pairs of these boots and both broke down at the sole very quickly. Neither pair lasted longer than 5 months and the waterproofing only lasted 3 months before socks began getting wet. It's a shame because I can honestly say these are the most comfortable work boots I've worn.

Comfortable BUT not worth it, less than six months in and I notice that the soles and heel area are separating, and the eyelets are sharp and I go through shoestrings 1 or twice a week, I will not be buying another pair, for the price I will by Red Wings next time.

I bought this boot on the recommendation of several people. I work on the highways and walk a lot. These boots hurt my feet so bad after 2 days I had to return them. They would have been comfortable except the tongue was digging into the top of my feet. 16 hours in these boots and I am back to my old ones. I would not recommend these boots for anyone with flat feet they plan out just hurt. I have had several pairs of boots and gone through the break in period with no problems these boots I just could not handle it. Just not for me

I have purchased Timberland boots for 15 years now. Great boots overall for my feet, I have had the original chukkas, the first Timberland Pro's and now these Boondocks. I have to say comfort wise these Boondocks are amazing. Even with the inner sole wearing out from the ball of my foot, just popping new inserts in gave new life to the boot.
The biggest problem I have had is how wet my feet are getting shoveling snow in New Hampshire seacoast, not far from your Headquarters. When the storm is underway my feet feel great but then the snow covers the boot at first, then the heat from my boot breathing melts the snow, and soaks the leather. Then the storms switches over to rain and all the waterproofing that is promised goes out the window. My feet are soaked and I'm starting to feel miserable. I shoveled for 13 hours the other day and my feet were so prunie they hurt, not to mention it's cold so this changes the whole body, everything gets sore when your feet aren't protected. So I feel like the talk up of these being water impermeable is misleading and should be addressed plus now I need you to recommend me a boot that will keep my feet dry and comfortable!

I payed a lot for these boots specifically because they claim to be water proof.. well they're fine if you're stepping In an inch of water. They definitely are not for the winter. The first snow storm I used them while I was plowing. I barely stepped in the snow.. but when the snow melts it runs right into the top of the foot. Poor design guys. I am so disappointed and broke.. im going have to put plastic bags on my feet. Gonna have to save up again, and find some actual outdoor boots

I wore these boots every day, to work, on the weekends, in the woods hunting. Up until the waterproof membrane inside the boots was compromised and water seems to now pour through the seam between the composite toe and leather especially once water is over the top of your toe. These boots are now useless to me as it is miserable to attempt to work with wet boots. One a little water comes in these already weighty boots they feel like cinder blocks on your feet. The left and right boot had the same issue occur around the same time. I paid more than I would have ever paid for this pair of boots due to the fact that I've had a pair of timberland's waterproof shoes last over 10 years, I still have them. But now I am questioning the company's ability to produce a quality product... I definitely am not happy with this company or the purchase I made.

Timberland Boondocks are the first pair of safety toes to leave my mishapen forefeet blissfully unmolested, despite my having wide bunions, hammer toes, and a full size disparity between left and right foot.
Despite finding my dream toe box (the harsh mistress hockey has taught me patience) in the Boondocks, I cannot recommend Timberlands if the remainder of the shoe requires so much modification.
As mentioned by others, the poorly designed hooks providing each boots' top two lace points cause needless harm. Their excessive metal sinks painfully into ankle flesh because the washers bolstering the hooks' rivets extend beyond the interior shoe leather and transmit through the shoe's tongue. I solved this problem by cutting out these aluminum hooks and washers out and installing plain eyelets.
But another problem arises, literally. Too much material around the boot lace areas prematurely halt the laces from fully securing the boot around the foot. This condition only became apparent once the boot's insulation and padding compressed after a few days use. It's like the user's ankles were assumed to displace the same volume as a knee does! All this unexpected and unwanted space allows heels to lift out from the back of the boot with each step, ensuring blisters are soon to follow. And wearing the next smaller size would only cramp my toes.
Since I cannot afford to waste hundreds of dollars, I'll trim the leather and punch out new eyelets farther back than the original locations. Goodbye, waterproof protection!
Stepping away from design mistakes and toward quality control foibles, I found the right shoe's shank was twisted, even visibly so, more than the left in every pair available I tried at the store. A sole's shank with excessive curvature bends the toes upward, possibly placing hammer toes' knuckles in contact with the toe cap's roof. Luckily for me, thosetoe caps are tall enough and the shank's bend is slight enough to allow my toes enough space.
For nearly $200, I don't expect such boots to last forever--but rudimentary design practicality anduniformity in materials isn't too much to expect.

Boots are falling apart at heel and soles! They are NOT worth the money because they did not last! Husband works in high voltage job and I thought these boots would be perfect for the job but not if they are going to fall apart so quickly! sad part is I bought 2 pairs because he did like the feel and fit of them. $350.00 down the drain! vERY DISAPPOINTED IN TIMBERLAND!!!!

Been buying these boots yearly since 2016. Both myself and coworker have had BAD heel pain lately, so I compared our new boots to old pair and found the new insoles have little to no arch support. VERY disappointed Timberland
