Customer Reviews Timberland Chocorua Trail with GORE-TEX®

I own a pair of these (same size) from several years ago. This new boot is not the same. Each step I take, the boot forces me into an extreme pronation and the top of the boot shifts laterally, to press against the inside of my lower leg. As I inspect the boots, it appears that the uppers are glued onto the soles crooked. They appear to lean in (pronate). Possibly defective? Very disappointed in this boot. I have loved my old pair. They have been the best boots I ever owned.

I got these about a year ago. They fit perfectly right out of the box and have held up well in rain and snow. My only complaint is that they scuff up really badly and since it’s Gortex you are not supposed to apply polish. They look awful and the treads are wearing off too. I use these daily in the cold season for hiking and dog walking. I will order another pair and hope they last more than a year. As for sizing, I wear a 9 in boots and sneakers and these are true to size.

I have loved these boots- perfect fit with wide toe box that can be hard to find. They don’t last, however, and I’ve gone through 3 of them, this last pair I’m retiring after less than a year. The leather cracks and gore-tex lining fails resulting in really wet feet. I probably should have gone down to two stars for overall quality. I’m retired and living in a place with endless hiking opportunities so the boots are worn daily. When even the sole wore out after a year I decided to spend the extra bucks and switch to HOKA ONE ONE, a brand my daughter in Seattle recommended. So far they’re awesome and should last a few years. The Chocorua boot is excellent if you have low mileage and/or plan to replace them yearly.

I've purchased these boot from Zappos for the last 10+ years. Fit, width and size are all accurate. Sadly I have to say the last pair I purchased has worn out long before either of the previous 2 pair, respectively 5 years & 8 year old boots. A hole appeared in the leather and continued to increase in size, The seam split open and the leather appears to be peeling.

After reading the reviews, I was sure that these boots were for me. But I was wrong. I work in an outdoor setting where I am standing/moving all day and after wearing them for about two months, I feel like my arches are falling. While they were great because they felt like they didn't need to be broken in, the toe box is really wide, so the front half of my foot slides around even when I wear thicker socks. Likewise, I can't get them to tie tight enough to prevent my heel from sliding around. The shoe is the correct size (a half size smaller and my toes would be crunched up), so my heel doesn't slip around, my entire foot just slides around. I think I'm going back to the Timberland Pro.

I purchased a set of these boots almost exactly a year ago, they were very comfortable, and best of all the liner in the boot worked. My feet never, never, got wet. I wear my boots to work outdoors every day. Some people buy these things for fashion or whatever, but I search for good boots to keep my feet dry. I have purchased Keen, Vasque, Merrells, you name it. I thought I found the best boot. I have wide feet and I think I tear the liner out in those brands that don't offer EE. I was shocked when I put the new boots on. When I picked them up I thought they looked smaller, and when I put them on they were. They were much narrower, I even compared the soles to each other and the actual soles were about 1/4" narrower. I took my insole out of my old pair, and put in the new, hoping it would help, but my toe smashed into the toe of the boot. I can't even wear these to hope that they would stretch out. They hurt. From the most comfortable fit to boots that don't fit at all in one year. Maybe just a mistake, but very disappointed. I may try another set to see if it was just a mis-sized boot.

My only & last pair of Timberlands are 20 years old. These seemed 1/2 size too short. There was no support, especially in the ball of the foot. Thanks Zappos for the quick delivery!

This is my third pair of these Timberland boots. I wear them for day hiking and also for snowshoeing in winter. They are a wonderful basic hiking boot.

I am female but wear these boots in men’s because I need wide. My old pair failed and got wet after a good 10 years of use. No one had my size in men’s so I took a chance and ordered a half size up in women’s. They were way too narrow. Back they go. I live in a rainforest and cannot go without rain boots at this time of year so ordered another Timberland style in men’s and am crossing my fingers.

The best hiking boots I have ever owned. After wearing mine a few times on practice hikes in N. C,, I took these babies for the ultimate field test on Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. They were comfortable for 8 hours +, they held up to the mud, gravel and rocks, the crazy weather and everything that amazing mountain threw at us. I will buy a new pair when I go back to tackle it again. Toes got a little frosty at the summit, so a pair of liners with two wools the next time. Loved the super-lightweight, but rugged soles. I can't praise these boots enough. My husband donated his pair to the porters, but I loved mine so much I couldn't bear to part with them. Thanks for making such an amazing product.

I have actually owned these boots for quite some time but this week was my first time truly putting them through the ringer. I am IN LOVE! I wore them throughout unseasonably rainy weather in Yosemite. My feet remained dry and comfortable despite the rain, mud and missteps when crossing water!
