Customer Reviews Timberland PRO Direct Attach 6" Steel Safety Toe Insulated Waterproof

So I'm a contractor and I got tired of trashing crepe sole Red Wings every 6 months, and I thought I'd give these a try. They look great, are waterproof, and price is right. 9.5, my usual size felt OK at 1st, but oh man, these things did not feel right a few hours on the job. Cut to the boots' first day on a job, building a stone retaining wall, in the mud, on a hill, and the toe box feels too large and I'm having problems getting them tight enough. I'm not sure if my foot is narrow, or I was used to different boots, or I goofed up and bought a 9.5 when a 9 would have been better, or it wasn't broke in yet, but I'm having regrets. They fit much better after I robbed the rough, sock-eating foam insoles out of a pair of 20$ rubber "concrete boots" that I keep wedged behind my truck cab, and jammed them into my pair of Timberlands. After that, zero complaints. They grip onto everything, keep my feet safe, stay dry and breathe well, and I can just wipe them down and they're ready to be worn out on the town! I like these boots but it rubs me the wrong way that it took a donor sole from the most cheap, ill fitting, uncomfy rubber boots I own to make these feel good. I guess two wrongs do make a right. Next time I buy a pair, I'll be trying one size down.

These boots are not as widely available as I'd like but it's the only work boot I buy and use.

Wide and comfortable but the insoles still feel hard when walking

I like these boots. Although they are steel toe, they feel almost as light as my sneakers. I have two complaints. 1. The material lining the top of the boot is a cheap, fake leather. There is already a small tear on the inside in this section, and I've only worn the boots a week. I don't see these lasting more than a few months. 2. There is a section of the boot on the inside that seems to be misaligned. It actually was digging into the top of my foot. If you've got money to burn, buy these boots. If not, invest in a pair that will last a long time.

I love these boots I have been buying them for years. However, the reason for only 3 stars is because this time they weren't as perfect as they usually are. Bubbles in the soles one boot is a little higher then the other. A little disappointed for something so expensive.

I wear them at work and I'm having trouble breaking these in they are just too small I feel.

These felt really comfortable when I first put them on. I spent a few weeks breaking these in before I needed to wear them for work and now my feet are killing me after a full day!! At first it was just foot fatigue and I thought I needed more time breaking them in but after 1.5 months of wearing these for 8 hour days my feet, legs, and lower back are hurting so bad! I woke up this morning with so much aching and soreness. They keep my feet warm but they also make my feet really sweaty. They are well made and would be fine for short term wear but I am looking elsewhere immediately for new work boots.

Bought my first pair of Timberlands in 1976. Bought my son a pair to start him off in his hvac career. While they are comfortable enough, after nine months of wear.the soles are coming off. They're not the "Timbies" I've bought in the past. Kind of disappointed.

Overall a decently made boot for the price. Steel toe plus thick insoles make these so tight fitting that it wasn't possible to wear them without killing my feet. I feel like going up a whole size up or possibly even two (considering I wear thick work socks and I like to be able to have a little more toe room up front) would've made me like these a lot more.

After 2 years a crack appeared on the sole. The boots themselves look fine but that crack looks and feel terrible. Also its not just one crack, there many little cracks all over the sole on both boots. Looks like some defect...

Favorite work boots for years. This is the first pair of Timberland boots that caused me foot pain (left ball area of my foot. Possible defective workmanship. Normally, I would have given the boots a 5 star rating for awesome quality comfortable work boots.

I bought these for my husband who works 16 hour night shifts in the oil field. He works 6-7 days a week so I wanted something that would keep his feet dry, stay comfortable and ultimately last longer than other brands we have tried. Sadly these did not do the job. It says 30 day guarantee comfort but after only 3 days of use my husbands boots started to leak and he had to start putting plastic bags over his socks before putting the boots on to try to prevent his socks from getting wet. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. If you have a indoor job where your feet won't be getting wet these would be great!! Just make sure you size a half size up!

Very narrow - assuming due to steel toe. Will need to wear more to determine if I would reconnect to others. Size up!!!

Haven't been able to use this pair. Love my other Timberlands

Feels a little tight

I bought it for my husband. He's always on his feet all day. He doesn't have wide feet. But I got a wide anyway because he doesn't like his toes feeling all cramped together. He normally wears a 9 1/2. I got him the 9 1/2 wide just to be sure there's extra room. But it's still too small. I feel bad because I don't have the money to buy him another pair of boots. Next time I will get him a 10 wide.

Have had numerous pairs of these boots over the years. Last November tried to order on line. They were out of my size 15. I signed up for an in stock email. 9 months later they are in stock. Wow. Not one word in between. Very disappointing.

Because of my job I do a lot of walking, the last few pairs of these I've bought have either hurt my toes or like this pair one side rubbed my ankle raw, I don't feel anything inside the boot that would cause it to do that but it rubs none the less, quality has definitely taken a downward hit.

Nice looking boot but just feel the comfort wouldn't be there for a 15 hour work day.

Feels cheap for the price. Not having a finger pull straps at the back seems unusual for a high ankle boot. This makes it more cumbersome and the material overall just feels far cheaper and less solid than the pair I bought a decade ago.

Fitted comfortably but only lasted exactly one year the soul split in half on the left shoe, I just wish they were little bit more durable
