Customer Reviews Timberland Earthkeepers® Rugged Original Leather 6" Boot

Great looking boot, super light, and EXTREMELY comfortable due to the ultra soft leather. Unfortunately, because the leather is so soft the boot loses its shape rather quickly, especially in the heel area. Also, runs a full size larger than marked.

Great looking boot that is not designed for use in snow/rain. Absorbs water and your feet get soaked. In addition, the sole is very soft and wears out easily, almost like a sponge. The leather is actually showing signs of wear with two winters of use. Overall, great looking boot when the weather is cold and dry, but definitely not for snowy/wet conditions. I am quite disappointed with this boot given the cost.

I bought this boot in January of 2008. After 13 days, the top leather of the insole separated from the foam base merely from regular foot sweat. I understand earth-friendly adhesives are great, but that was ridiculous. Considering it a manufacturer defect, I attempted to contact Timberland directly to receive a replacement insole. Instead, I got the run around, continually being told to contact so-and-so who told me to contact the next person. Zappos' amazing customer service stepped in, called me, and offered to send me a new pair of the boots and send mine back once they arrived. I appreciated the A+ service I received and won't hesitate to purchase from Zappos, but unfortunately I won't be purchasing another Timberland product. These boots are really comfortable otherwise, and fashionable, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone expecting to wear them like you would actual boots; my Chuck Taylor All Stars have held up better.

I seriously don't know what the hype is over these boots. They are not comfortable at all. There is literally no arch support. I had to go out and buy some inserts, to make them bearable. Also, I had to replace the laces because they kept coming untied. They're really not worth what my wife paid for them.

Nice looking, uncomfortable, not an all-day boot. First let me say the service by Zappos has been incredible! This boot was disappointing. While good looking, it lacked padding, especially in the tongue. Didn't seem very durable. Certainly not a work boot for someone on their feet all day. Felt like 1930's technology in a modern boot. A classic look, but not the Timberland comfort I have had in the past. I sent these back. Felt a WHOLE size larger than marked!
