Customer Reviews Timberland 6" Premium Waterproof Boot

One has to purchase a 1/2 to a whole size smaller for a comfortable fit unless you are planning on wearing very thick socks and an insole. Otherwise, I've been wearing this style of Timberland boot for a very long time and when I've come back for a new pair I have not been disappointed.

I ordered my first brand new pair of Timbs, and I am in love. All the other pairs I have owned have been hand me downs from my older brother. There is nothing like a fresh set of Timbs.

After reading several reviews and feeling conflicted on if I should order my actual size or a size smaller, I went ahead and ordered my correct size. Sadly the boots are two sizes too big. I am a size 17 and they fit me like a 19. There were literally three inches of space behind my heel. So I had to order a size 15 and they fit fine now. I wouldnt waste my time writing a review if I didnt want others to know that these boots are over sized when you have larger feet (my wife ordered her normal size and they fit her perfectly). So beware. If you have big feet, just go ahead and order one size down. Other than that they are perfect.

I have poor circulation in my feet, so finding warm boots that actually work, look good, and are comfortable is a lifelong obsession of mine. I'm a school teacher and I'm on my feet all day. I decided to buy these after looking at "style" boots like ones by Frye and the other end of the spectrum, I also looked at construction boots by Timberland Pro and Red Wing. I think these strike a balance between ruggedness style, and price. They were comfortable right out of the box and required virtually no break-in period. I find they chafe a bit in the "bend" if you have a deep stride, but I stride fairly shallow. Over the last couple of weeks, the leather has loosened up and they only do that if I'm running. Over 12 hours a day standing, and my feet don't get tired. Very comfortable insole. There is virtually no arch support, but I like that because I have fallen arches. If you have high arches, you might need to replace the insole which is removable. In line with other reviewers, I find these fit at least a half size bigger than normal maybe even 3/4 of a size. My normal size is a 10D. Although I knew they run big, I ordered them in my regular size. I like to wear very thick socks. I wear the boots with a silk sock liner from REI and thick rag-wool socks from L.L. Bean and my feet have a bit of wiggle room. Very nice for easy walking and standing around. If your feet tend to run warm, I would definitely order half size down from usual so you can wear standard crew socks. I don't see these being sturdy enough for hiking. The sole is too soft, and the heel-shank is too broad. The sole is also glued to the body of the boot as opposed to stitched; as you might see on a high-end boot. If you look very closely, you can clearly a shiny band where the boot meets the sole. This is the glue, and the stitching below it is a faux detail. I used a soft wire brush to scrape off the top layer of glue-residue so as to lessen the shiny effect. It took two minutes and doesn't affect the quality. I also own the black suede color in this identical boot, and the shiny glue is more noticeable in the other color. I don't have an issue with a glued sole at this price-point, but it does beg the question as to how many seasons they will last under very heavy use. I own specialized hiking boots, and I wouldn't buy these for hiking. These are more suitable for being "about town" as the saying goes. So far they're comfortable and they keep my feet warm to about 45F. Below 45F, if I don't keep moving, my toes get a bit cold, but like I said, I have poor circulation. My feet have stayed dry even in heavy rain. My only complaint is that the laces that came with them are garbage. I threw those away immediately and replaced with new ones in tan cloth almost the same color as the sole. The new laces give them a nice contrast and make these look less like construction boots. I would strongly encourage you to get new laces if you decide to buy these. I also bought cordovan shoe cream and smooth boot wax at Nordstrom so I can maintain that shiny look. This color scuffs and scratches very, very easily. Just getting in and out of my car I scuffed them. I find that I give them a quick buff with my horsehair shoe brush right before I step out of the house to keep them looking new. By comparison, the black suede model which I also own doesn't scuff or scratch hardly at all. Also, when placing this brown one side-by-side with the black one, these brown ones look more dressy. I think it's because the tan sole reduces their visual bulk. Either way, I find that I can wear these with jeans or with brown slacks so they're a bit more versatile that way. I love these. I get compliments on them all the time, and they're not really available in stores, so that's a bonus. I also own the black suede model, and you can read my review of those under that color tab. I hope you find my review helpful.

This is a very comfortable and durable pair. No doubt that it is still my favorite pair of boots in my cabinet since I got them six years ago.

These are perfect, 3rd time's a charm. Ordered the 14EE's, were way too big. Unfortunately, as we are in Canada, I had to pay the shipping costs to ship & return. 2nd pair were Timberlands but not same boot. Ordered 13EE, received 13W; they felt more like a 12 reg. Order desk told me it's the same thing, but did agree to cover expense of return. These ones fit like a glove. My son loves them and is very happy. They look sharp, and he wears them all day to school and they are comfortable all day. Highly recommend these ones.

I love the Timberland brand so I was very excited to see that Zappos.com had the style and my size in stock! Zappos.com is beginning to become my favorite website for shoes!

I have ordered from Zappos numerous times. They always have the item in stock, have great prices, and the item is delivered on time as promised. Highly recommend using zappos for your shopping needs!!

I bought this boot in November \'09 so I\'m just starting to wear now. Looking forward to many years of use in all conditions, mostly snow and slush. \r\n\r\nTwo notes to shoppers: 1) This product has accurate sizing. 2) Probably no need to treat with waterproofer. I did so and the solution left streaks. I brushed them out, but in hindsight I probably didn\'t need to treat them.
