TimberlandMen's Mt. Maddsen Hiking Waterproof BootsLeather Working Group

I've never owned a pair of Timberland boots. I always just saw rappers and urban-dwellers sporting them more like a fashion trend than a functional hiking boot. I figured that's all they were. Soo... time comes I need a new pair of hiking boots after my 8-year-old HiTecs (which I loved) got tore up by volcanic rock and I run across Timberlands as an option. After doing a bit of research I discover that they are highly-rated (for a mid-priced boot) and have a long history of making solid, reliable boots. I liked the clean lines and construction of an all-leather-upper boot compared to the overly-complicated construction of others I was considering (Merrill, Keen, etc...). I fell in love with the look of the Castle Rock color and pattern. I know... you should'nt buy a tool cuz it's pretty. Tools are meant to be used and should look like they get used. I truly believe that and I am over-all a very utilitarian kinda guy. That said... I loved the way these looked. I loved them even more when I pulled them from the box! The photo's do not do the Castle Rock version justice. I found myself worried that I might not want to hike in them... they'ld get dirty! But hike in them I did and I could not be happier with my choice. These boots are comfortable almost right out of the box. They are super light for an all-leather boot. Looooong laces allowed me to lace them to shape everything around my foot and lock them to my heel. They are warm without being hot. The sole is super sticky on every surface and whisper quiet when walking indoors on hardfloors. Don't usually care about how quiet my hiking boot is but for some reason it really impressed me! They are so comfortable that even after wearing them for 12-14 hours straight I found myself not wanting to take them off. Soooo comfortable... and did I say they look awesome?? I got em dirty from snow, mud, streams, filthy puddles; red-clay dirt, etc... They cleaned right up like new! They kept my feet warm in the snow, dry in the streams. I love these boots! I will buy them again! Did I say they look awesome?? :)Regarding the fitment... I have a wide foot and typically I do a 10.5 wide in most other shoe styles (athletic, business, dress, etc...). With hiking boots I've found that Im a solid 10 and with some brands I do not need the wide. I ordered accordingly... 10 regular. They were comfortable but a bit snug. I returned them and went with the 10-wide. Perfection! Got a wide foot? Go for the wide option. Watch some vids on ways you can lace a boot to fit your foot's unique shape and you can really dial these in. The D-rings are steel and strong and rivetted to the upper. The four lacing hooks at the top are also riveted. They are a little shallow to support a surgeon's knot lace method but it works just fine.I can't say enough about how impressed I am with these boots! Get them. Dont even think twice! Go for the Castle Rock, version. They look so good I find myself wanting to wear them in lieu of any of my other shoes.

Estos zapatos son excelentes. los compre en el 2021 y los uso tres veces por semana para hacer senderismo. Son irrompibles Me estoy comprando otros del mismo modelo ya que la suela está un poco desgastada y por seguridad debo actualizarme. Los recomiendo plenamente

Olvídate de los dolores y la fatiga al final del día; con estos zapatos, mis pies se sienten frescos y listos para seguir. La seguridad es de primera. La suela antideslizante me da una confianza inquebrantable en superficies resbaladizas. la durabilidad es impresionante. Aguantan el uso rudo y siguen luciendo geniales.

The Mt. Maddsen hiking boots from Timberland are an excellent choice if you're seeking a comfortable, mid-height, waterproof hiking boot. Sizing is spot-on. I wear a 10.5 and find these true to size.I deducted one star because the Amazon product page shows a two-tone brown upper/lower for the boots I ordered (Dark Brown-2024 New) but the product that is delivered is actually labled as "Dark Brown" but is a solid shade of dark brown on all parts of the boot. Another reviewer shared photos of the same situation they experienced. I knew about it going into the purchase and while I wanted the two-tone color scheme, I'm fine with the solid dark brown one enough to avoid the hassle of returns. Just buyer beware if you're expecting the two-tone "Dark Brown-2024 New" color and don't like the solid dark brown option.

Grip awesome on trails . Lightweight

Great boots so far (6 months in). I'm a park ranger, so they have a slightly hard life. Great look, good ankle support. They fit perfectly. They've been waterproof so far, but I've only been in water a couple inches deep. I did get some insoles, but I do that with all my shoes due to a club foot and a lot of standing/walking.They're holding up and have over performed my expectations (I'm always looking for affordable quality shoes). My shoes usually last about two years and at this point I'll happily buy another pair of these when the time comes.

As always, Timberland is an excellent boot. The size is as described.
