Timberland Men's Earthkeeper 6 Laceup Boot

I've had these for about a month now. They are my very first pair of leather boots ever and I love them. I wanted one boot that I could wear for winter, hiking, and just because, and these fit the bill. They look really good and have held up well through several hikes of about five or six miles each. A couple of the hikes the weather was pretty wet and no moisture got in. Of course, the tongue is loose, so I'm sure stepping in a deep puddle or hanging out in a constant downpour will allow some water in. They are also quite comfortable. I even wore them for about 19 hours straight walking all over Munich, Germany. My feet were sore, of course, but not as sore as they've been after a day in my usual low-profile trainers. The sizing, like everyone else says, is pretty large. I wear an eleven normally, but I went with a 10.5. Everyone said to go a size down, but my foot is a bit wide, so I thought I'd see how half a size went. Turns out I probably could have done with a size down, and maybe even a size and a half if I wanted a snug fit. But these were partly meant for hiking and for hiking you want your boots to fit just a bit large so you have plenty of toe room, so I've decided to stay with the 10.5, though if/when I buy another pair I might go down to 10. I got them in burnished brown, which ended up being a dark reddish brown, which I actually prefer. They were pretty much broken in and ready to wear right away, but have actually broken in even more. The leather is supple and comfortable. I've read some reviews saying that the sole wears out quickly, but that they would be happy to re-sole them. I haven't noticed any such wear yet, but if the boots last as long as I imagine they will, I'll be happy to re-sole them whenever. And I've never re-soled ANYTHING. TL;DR, If you're looking for a good boot for light hikes that can also be worn on a night out on the town, look no further. Just go a size down.

Order the right size! I thought they were too big at first (as others said), but the right solution is to put in an extra arched insert over the stock one, then they are PERFECT. A smaller size would be short. I have a 10W Timber boot from 10 years ago, they fit the exact same, with an insert. I get a LOT of compliments for this boot. I polished them with the Doc's Mink Oil, they got much darker and softer. They are by far my favorite boots. I wore Docs for 35 years, will never give them a penny again, cheap and woke.

(scroll to the bottom for width sizes) I saw these boots at my local retailer, loved them at first sight and tried them on. I regularly wear a size 12 but they were big. Great fit was at an 11.5 wide i think but they didn't have a wide, just a narrow. If it weren't for that I would have happily coughed up the $180 or $190. But i still was trying to convince myself to take them home. So i begged and cried to my wife from my mens department to please come look at my new boots. So after some continuing embarrasement she finally left her womens shoe department and gave me some much needed attention. Even my wife said they would look good with jeans and khakis and agreed they were pricey but justifiable solely on their good looks. And oh they are timberlands she said, that's nice. I didn't care if they were Payless shoe boots they looked awesome, rugged and sophisticated. Perfect for me! Although I have to add Timberlands are quite comfy and lasting because I'ved owned (2) pairs of PRO Tiatans for but busting activities like hiking and kicking hot pipes at the oil refinery. My first pair fell victim to sulfuric acid dripping on the top, but they saved my foot! With that said, I had to have them. She told me why not try another store or even amazon like you always do. Oh yeah, she's a genius! Went on amazon on my mobile and wow they are so cheap! My wife saw that and zipped away to buy now 2 extra pair of shoes. But amazon had different colors and many sizes. No problem I had a Brannock device right next to me ( the metal foot ruler thing-a-magig with sliders and stuff to measure proper shoe sizes). So I played around with the device and used my fat foot ( most people will not have symmetrical perfectly feet, weird I know but true). But my left had been broken in half and now was permanently pregnant, so I knew I needed wide, but how wide? So here are my research findings after fiddling around with the Bannock device with both feet. Fit size Get at least 1/2 size smaller in length and standard or slightly wider size (C or D) and maybe even a whole 1 size smaller but if you do get a wide shoe. the letter designations are different widths. But they differ slightly with different shoe sizes. D is standard width for a given shoe size. I think the increments are in 1/8" or 3/16" according to my ruler on my pocket knife. AAA = Super Slim AA = Extra Slim (the more A's the more Extra) A = Slim B = Narrow C = Less standard width almost narrow D = Standard Width / Medium E = Wide EE = Extra Wide EEE = Fat EEEE = Super Fat Anyway I usually get a 12 standard (D) but I bought 11.5 E. My left foot was easily a EE but I didn't want him to look at a mirror next to the right and feel bad. These boots also saved my high water pant problem when commuting to the office on the motorcycle. The lace height easily covers my sexy ankles and saves countless women from distraction while driving. The short height of the toes make them almost pass for casual brown shoes. I now pair these boots with my chinos and my engineer issued plaid shirts to wreck havock on the office women and keep them from being productive.

These boots are about the only thing I wear 6 months of the year. They are incredibly comfortable. The lining is soft, and seems to wick sweat away better than regular boots. I wear them to work (just office work) and about everywhere else. I would consider them casual wear, as opposed to work or hiking wear. The upper is well put together, with stitching that holds up well, and even the laces are intact after 3 years. The only downside is that the soles do wear out faster than the uppers. I suppose this is a side effect of the recycled material, so I'll take it as a trade off. I am going to try and resole them this year, but if that doesn't work out, I will definitely buy another pair. These are too good to be without. UPDATE - 12-25-2014: Just had them re-soled after 4 years. I've read elsewhere that it isn't possible because the soles were rubbery, but I just brought them in to the local shoe repair place "John's Shoe Repair" if you happen to be in San Diego. Great job. The color of the new sole is darker. We looked at everything he had in stock, and only a few had heals that matched, so I picked the closest option. The upper still look great, and I'm looking forward to another 4 years. I can't load another video here, but I'll post one for you on the tube ;-) UPDATE - 11-20-2019: Survived to second resole. Was able to get a Vibram sole this time. Upper still looks great. Started taking care of the leather better with conditioner after my last resole.

pas portées parce que pas la bonne taille et mon mari est difficile : il les a trouvées délicates à chausser (mais je pense que c'est parce qu'il n'a pas l'habitude des chaussures montantes, à délasser forcément un peu ! et elles étaient neuves, donc') mais elles sont superbes, vraiment, très très jolies. un cuir d'une couleur parfaite, une ligne parfaite également, bref, elles me font craquer ! super stylées (encore plus en vrai qu'en photo)

Gut verarbeitete Stiefel und sehr bequem zu tragen. Das Leder ist angenehm weich. Meine sonstige Schuhgröße stimmt mit der Größe der Stiefel überein - 44.5 ist auch 44.5 Was mich wundert ist, dass hier geschrieben wurde, dass sich die Sohle nach einer Saison (oder noch schneller) bereits abgenutzt haben soll. Dem ist zumindest bei mir absolut nicht so und die Schuhe wurden und werden häufig von mir getragen. Farblich weichen mein Stiefel auch nicht vom Bild ab. Für Herbst und milden Winter absolut schöne Schuhe.

Bought these in Jan 2015 from here. They have lasted me all this time and finally the sole has given up. Well worth the money and I'm now looking for another pair, but would like a darker brown this time. Awesome boot, although I had to go a size smaller than my trainers
