Customer Reviews Timberland PRO Setra Composite Safety Toe

This shoe is much larger and a bit heavier than I thought, aggressive sole too. Ordered for casual use. Super cool colors. I may have to order a 9 or even 8.5 when I'm normally a 9.5 with a low, wider foot.

Shoe laces come untied every 5 minutes. The soles are made of rubber foam so if you work in a factory with grating they get torn up easily. Worst pair of Timberlands I have owned, other styles were much better.

These shoes are about as breathable as my boots, without the comfort, and while the slip-resistance is there, I ran through 50% of the tread in 3wks. Pro: - Safety-toe is impact and relatively scuff resistant - Easy to put on and shoelaces are easy to tie - Decent slip-resistance (7/10) Con: - ~50% of treadwear in 3 weeks - Mesh construction is not noticeably breathable - Anti-fatigue is mostly the insole (which is better than some, not most) - EVA outsole is not very cushioning or shock-absorbing, it's squeaky instead -------------- I expected these shoes to be more breathable and easier to wear than my boots, but with a safety-toe and slip-resistance for when I'm walking on metal. They start being uncomfortable to stand on after an hour or two being on my feet. It started feeling torturous after being on my feet for 4-5 hours... and we spent 7 hours on the factory floor that day. After I replaced the insole, that's when I realized the EVA outsole does very little, except to squeak against the floor. Breathability is close to 0, which adds to the discomfort. I filled the shoes with water and there was a small trickle of water that came out. They breath about as much as standard waterproof shoes, not great in +90F weather. The treadwear is what really kills it for me. The shoes are slip-resistant, but that starts to matter much less when there is no tread left on the actual shoe for water to escape from. After being on my feet for 3 weeks, it was beyond disappointing to recognize that I'd gone through so much of the tread. Overall, I'd expect these to last 2-3 months at most. Considering how much foam is there, it's frustrating that they only put a couple millimeters of tread in the main portion of the shoe. It is nice that the tread goes deeper at the balls of the feet, which would have been useful if it weren't just so painful to use (when I stand on a ladder rung, it becomes painful in about 15-30 seconds).

I do not recommend for jobs that need to walk constantly, too hard, I thought that with the use of them would soften but nothing, it hurts the sole of the foot a lot, So, to wear the shoes again last year.

Shoe looks great and all but it's not comfortable as it appears. Tight fit even though I ordered the wider width.

I bought these because I wanted a composite/steel toe shoe. I've never tried Timberland for that specific need but have always enjoyed my other Timbs over the last 25 years. This purchase is a disappointment. While the reduced price was great (probably because this color didn't sell), they just are not very comfortable. Timberland didn't meet their normal standard here.

I love Timberland, however the sole on this model didn't last nearly as long as all my other Timberland's had. Not happy about it. barely a year,
