About the brand

Timberland is an iconic American footwear and apparel brand that began in 1952 when Nathan Swartz, a Russian immigrant and veteran shoemaker, purchased half-interest in the Abington Shoe Company in Boston. The brand's defining moment came in 1973 with the introduction of the original Timberland boot, featuring revolutionary injection-molding technology that created the first truly waterproof leather work boot. This breakthrough "yellow boot" set new industry standards and became so popular that the company was renamed Timberland in 1978. What started as functional workwear for blue-collar workers evolved into a global cultural phenomenon, particularly through its adoption by hip-hop culture in the 1990s. Artists like Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur helped cement Timberland's status as a fashion staple, transforming rugged work boots into streetwear essentials. Today, Timberland represents a unique blend of craftsmanship, durability, and cultural significance, maintaining its reputation for quality while serving diverse communities from construction sites to city streets worldwide.

The value you get from these hiking boots for the traction, stability, overall protection, and fit far exceed the value of $100. While it is not one of our best rated hiking boots of all time, they provide more value than they are worth.

The Timberland Mt. Maddsen boots are burly boots that are built to last, with a sturdy construction designed for tough conditions. The full-grain leather uppers are tough and resist abrasions, providing solid protection against rough terrain. Double stitching adds strength to the leather panels, and their tall, gusseted tongue and waterproof liners further reinforce durability, keeping the interior dry in most wet conditions.

Despite its rugged construction, the entire boot feels soft and luxurious to the touch. The stitching is beautiful handiwork that almost looks as though the boot was handmade by a master cobbler from a bygone era.

The beauty of the Timberland Premium 6-Inch Waterproof Boot is that can be styled an endless number of ways, which again comes back to why they continue to captivate such a broad following. Their reputation for durability is well earned, and this is the nicest boot I've ever come across in terms of comfort. Lastly, this is the first product we've ever reviewed that doesn't have any notable downsides.

For a pair of boots this popular and inexpensive, I confess I was ready to be disappointed, but I wasn't at all. They're sturdy, comfortable, functional, and damn cool. They're not that much more expensive than a pair of good sneakers and they'll last you a lot longer.

These boots are constructed with premium full-grain leather, renowned for its rugged endurance. The durability is further enhanced by the inclusion of abrasion-resistant outsoles, which help prolong the boots' lifespan even under harsh conditions.

The leather uppers and rubber soles are stiff out of the box, so these boots require a longer break-in period to avoid major rubbing or blisters and reach peak comfort. We highly recommend wearing these Timberlands at home, well before you've committed to a longer hike – consider rocking them during errands and dog walks to start the process.

If a simple, waterproof leather boot with a high-ankle design, average support, and reasonable comfort is what you seek, the Timberland White Ledge Mid Waterproof will do the job. Its classic styling, including metal hardware for lacing and a tall, well-padded ankle cuff, won't necessarily stand out from the crowd for its performance. Still, it may catch the eye of budget-conscious shoppers needing a functional option for basic day hikes, occasional backpacking, or days on a job site.

A lot of people say they're true to size, but I wound up returning my true size (11.5) for a size 11... They fit fine but they're actually still pretty roomy — I'm not slipping around in them, but I can't really get away with the cool open laced look that's so popular. I think I would have even been fine with getting a size 10.5, which is something I've never said before.

Timberland is very transparent about some aspects of the processes they use to source the materials, but at other times, they are very vague. There were also cases where I could not find information on some of their production procedures. Whenever they are unclear or there is a lack of information, it entails bad news because the industry standards of producing the materials they use for their boots are harmful to the environment.

The liner just came loose inside the boot, and I had to cut the boot off my foot. They were comfortable, but they are worthless now. For 200 dollars, it seems like they could have fastened the inside liner a little better.

The comfiest boots I've worn! Only downside is that they don't last long on site work house bashing as the sides begin to burst and open up. Ideal for summertime!
