After 2 months, SOLID (not perfect) WILL UPDATE
To clear up 2 things:-400g insulation in 80F+ weather?(I couldn’t read it I guess:) - absolutely, no problem BUT with moisture wicking socks; cheap socks and I’ll get some sweat spots on them!- I wouldn’t kick 100lb objects with them, toes or heels, as I sometimes do; direct attach doesn’t inspire confidence (however, they appear to be shoegooable:) easily, maybe I should?)To continue w/“negatives”:- short laces for 8 eyelets; somebody do something about that or I’ll just have them sewn together&turn them into cowboy pull/ups:)- not gravel friendly, few small cuts on the surface of the outsole lugs (huge lugs, btw); get stuck in them daily + mud (and horse poop) requiring daily spraying of outsoles w/water hose on high- outsoles are thick and the boots stretch; I’d go for a full size down to preserve stabilityNow the good stuff:)- cushy, comfy, bulky, great uppers, awesome ankle support especially when tightened! You know you’re wearing tall boots not sneakers:)- outsoles showing almost no signs of wear, up to 30hrs/week of concrete, gravel, dirt&horse poop:)- appear to be shoegooable:) forever, down the road that is, now it’s still perfect; every single layer - uppers will last forever, shoegooed to the midsole, shoegooed:) to the outsole which will last forever!(DISCLAIMER: just watched the Rose Anvil guy cut them in half; not a pretty sight as the rubber outsoles are thin&the rest is foam! Once thin layer’s gone&it’s the garbage time unfortunately)Care provided:Please see my posts on Obeanuf hd lp and Trident pure silicone grease if interested!I suggest to be even more conservative than Frank Rizzo:) described if using those, but do recommend them.5 month UPDATE - worn about 24hrs/weekI couldn’t be happier!Big fan of their direct injection molding, no stitching or glue, yet no sign of any separation!Tough leather - I’m sure obeanuf once a month helps; tough outsoles - no wear&tear (never been worn on asphalt though)Thick outsoles make me walk properly, maybe once a week do I scrape the surface I’m walking on!It’s a work boot for sure!

You get what you pay for in these high quality boots!
UPDATE 12/13/23:I'll keep my review 5 stars, These boots are very well made, but, I experienced an issue requiring me to return these:On day 3 of wearing these, I noticed rubbing and discomfort on my left inside ankle bone. I tried over the next few days to wear these very loosely tied to minimize pressure on the ankle, but, it did not help. On day 5 of wearing these, I took a closer look at the left boot and compared it to my right boot.The issue became clear.....the left boot tongue which folds over into a "V" when the boots are laced, has a slightly larger/wider section of leather there than on the right boot.For me and my left foot ankle bone, that slightly longer length was enough to rub that creased fold of leather right on top of my left inside ankle area.The leather on each side of the tongues is not lined at all like some boots, so the folded crease of leather at points of contact on the ankle is not softened there. I have another pair of work-boots which do have a soft liner across the entire tongue including both side and no issues with that boot.For many, they'd never notice this....and the boots would work fine. for me, and my ankle, it would not work.I chose not to reorder quite yet and will return these and then decide how to proceed to shop for another boot.I still recommend this brand and this specific boot since for most everyone, hopefully they won't experience the "unique" issue that I had!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I needed a work-boot for Winter use around the house and I did not want a cheap pair.I'm familiar with the Timberland brand and because my wife owns another style of Timerlands and loves them, decided I'd go with this brand only.I found this exact same boot at a local Shoe Store, but, it was over $55 more than at Amazon.I ordered these from Amazon in size 10, regular width.These boots, fit perfectly to my size and even as new and stiff as they were until getting broken in, were extremely conformable right out of the box. I've had boots in years past that were a challenge to wear while breaking in and sore ankles seemed inevitable until the boots broke in after a few or more weeks of use.These Timberlands did not require any break-in. I walked my dogs for a few miles in them the first day and it felt like I'd been wearing them for months.The construction of these boots is awesome. Thick leather, exact and precise stitching everywhere and a strong, thick sole with a tread pattern sure to grip icy snow and slush with no worries about slipping.These boots are not featherweights, but, not bad in weight at all and due to the quality of materials plus being insulated, a little extra weight here means you are buying a very solidly made boot.Absolutely delighted with these and for our snowy Vermont Winters, they are going to be my go to primary go-to boots for sure.Worth the price and these high quality boots are priced far less at Amazon than anywhere here locally.5 Stars all around and well deserved!

Not Only Steel Toe! (Updated)
I left a question to see if anyone knew whether or not the boots were Electrical Hazard rated. I was told they are not, but I found the tag on the inside of the boots that clearly states they are ASTM F2413-18 rated. I don't know what M/I/C stands for, but EH means electrical hazard rated.The boots are of good quality, what you would expect from Timberland Pro. They fit comfortably enough right off the bat, I will update the review once they are broken in. I am glad they had my size. US Men 15 Wide is hard to find sometimes and these fit true to size. They fit closely around the ankle and lower calph and seem to be insulated well. The packaging says they are also waterproof for anyone wondering. I love the bit of soft leather around the mouth of the boots as it prevents the mouth of the boots from chafing your lower calves. They lace all the way up the boot shaft and the boot strings are decent quality. The tongue of the boot is comfortable and doesn't cause any pain or discomfort on the shins when lacing the boots up tightly.Overall a very solid design with extra safety features not mentioned on the store page.I strongly recommend these and will update my review after breaking them in. I feel confident in leaving it as a 5 star review as I have bought other Timberland Pro boots in the past and I have not been disappointed.Update: Keeping it at 5 stars. They broke in very well and are very comfortable while still remaining rugged. They're made to last.

Nice normal work boot
Takes a few weeks to break them in. Not as comfortable around the ankle and calf area as other wedge sole mock toe type boots are because the leather is a little too thick around and above the ankle. But these do feel very stable working in dirt. Not great for long standing on concrete.
