Customer Reviews Timberland Earthkeepers® Rugged Original Leather 6" Boot

I use this boot only for when I need a good looking boot on my foot. Any time I need to walk a lot or need a comfortable boot, these will not be on my foot. I really like the grippyness of the soles, the look and feel of the boot but the cons outweigh the pros. The soles wear out fairly quickly, the leather is thin and doesn't provide a lot of warmth protection. They have held up in terms of water resistance/proof but I don't expect it to last much longer. I'm sorry Timberland but I had to be honest in this review and share with everyone that this boot is far more fashionable that function. Check out Redwing boots for something that will have function and fashion.

I am living in Toronto, and these shoes are the worst things to wear when you are going out in snow for long periods. These shoes tend to get cold when walking in snow and they act like a freezer on your feet. My toes hurt due to the cold even when I'm wearing thermal socks. They are not built to handle cold temperatures. There was a time where I wanted to remove these shoes and walk barefoot on snow cause the shoes got way too cold and extremely painful on my feet. Definitely not a good purchase for sub 0 temperatures.

Everyday

I bought a pair of these in a Womens 7.5 a while ago before realizing that I fit in juniors sizes so I bought my second pair in a juniors 5.5. The juniors boots are cheaper, which is a plus. But sadly they also feel cheaper. They are not made with the leather lining like the adult ones are, and they just feel thinner and I'm afraid they will get ruined a lot faster.

The reviews are right: definitely one and a half sizes too large. I should have listened — purchased one size smaller than my usual size and they were still at least half a size too large.

Very Nice looking boots , quality looks good , but very narrow even for a wide that i ordered ,probably misslabled

It was okay

Excellent shoe for my grandson

My husband wears them to work

They don't fit

I like the boots, use them for casual wear. I wouldn't be able to work in them though, they're not "work comfortable" boots. The look nice they're a suede material. They're nice boots don't get me wrong but not worth close to 200 if I were going to buy them again i would say 120 would have been fair.

The filter on the site showed shoes, like for winter shoes. I was think that it's winter shoes but for cold winter its bad idea. The shoes are suitable for warm winter only And I can not return them because I ordered delivery through intermediaries to Ukraine. This was the first experience of buying shoes online and it is clearly not very lucky.

Boot is all around good just disappointed in the fact that light brown and dark treated brown are way too close in color only difference is one is treated and the other isn't

It's a nice boot, although the boot wears out real fast. Runs kinda big.

Always wear a 12 but these boots were too big. Tried to order a 11.5 and all sizes except 7.5 are gone. Very frustrating.

I like the way they look, but not the most comfortable pair of boots I've owned. Where the tongue fold over and had a seam, it digs into my able and hurts after awhile.

The style of this boot is great, but they run very large. My son wears a 13/14 but the 12 was even to large. Had to go down 2 sizes.

It's a work boot that is used mainly for fashion depending on the region

I sent it back due to it being a size too big. I want to be fully refunded

I haven't had chance to wear on extended walks, but initially the boots is comfortable with reasonable support. It will take some time to break them in. The stitching looks good. Because of the stiff leather, Its going to take some time to break in the higher support around the ankle. Its clear the boot was made to meet a price point, it comes with cheap laces, the leather quality is low average, and the shading to make the boot look "worn in" just makes it look tacky. Fortunately the laces can be replaced at a reasonable cost, the leather should improve with some extended use of leather conditioner and I hope that the shading will blend better or disappear with extended polish and/or leather conditioner. The boot is at least 1/2 size too big. Fortunately I always wear with heavy socks and use an arch support insert so the size works about right for me. I just hope it doesn't stretch out with wear. I have an old pair of Timberland Pro Direct that are almost 15 years old. They were great boots from the start with great leather and comfort immediately. Unfortunately they have finally reach their end life. I doubt that these will last as long. I know Timberland made these boots to a set price point, I just wish I could find something between these and Chippewaa, etc at $400 plus. There just isn't much at the $200-250 price point. That all being said, I would still recommend to someone looking at this price point.

The material was definitely more rigid than the classic design. I liked the texture of the shoe and it looks very sharp but when it was worn the materials felt hard and rigid and the stitchings inside kept poking my ankles. Maybe with a long pair of socks, you won't notice it but it's not for me.

the size was a half size too large than what normally is worn as footwear.
