Saved my toe from devastation!
Only a few weeks after buying these boots (well mad, fit well, comfortable, the whole nine yards...) I dropped a pretty big concrete block with all kinds of rebar sticking out on every side of it RIGHT ONTO MY FOOT! Needless to say, I'm very glad I paid the extra dough for the steel toe - without it I would be writing the review from the seat of a wheelchair!

Great boot from seller.
Best pair of timberlands i ever bought. This is the 2nd pair ive owned and its been 16 plus months of hardcore daily use and still comfortable. When im ready for new ones i plan to come here and hit reorder. Also i had every female at my place of work ask me about them which my wife didnt love but, ya know, if ur single.... they couldnt hurt.

Amazing Work Boot
Fits as expected. Very heavy duty boot that stands up well to the beating I give them. They are definitely waterproof as I tested them out while working in a flooded (only about 3-4" of water) area. They scratched a few times while I was working but nothing major. For the price if you need a work boot these are a no brainer.

Solid, Dependable, Comfortable
I'll start right off with what I didn't like and kept these from 5 stars so I can go into detail with why I still recommend them above any other boot I've worn. They are on the chunkier side in terms of sheer mass compared to some other steel-toes I've worn. The good thing about a less bulky boot is that you have greater ease moving in them and they feel more natural. There's also an aesthetic argument about the cartoonishness of big boots, however hopefully you're not thinking of steel-toes for the aesthetics. Also, having holes instead of hooks for the top 2 loops is a minor pain. You just have to lace-up every time you put them on.These boots are exceptionally comfy. They run a bit narrow, but they have excellent support and are tight without cutting off circulation or giving you bruises. I'd chalk this up to the extensive padding. I wore these boots all day the first time I had them and felt better than most good days in my old boots.The soles for these boots are thick. They'll give you 2 inches. If you're on the shorter side like me, it's a bit of a blessing. They're also secured against electrical surges so you don't get fried if a live wire drops on a treadplate you happen to be standing on. The grip is nothing short of excellent. I haven't had the chance to try it on snow or ice yet, but it holds on dead leaves and slick pavement. It makes the clunkyness bearable.They are also waterproof up to your ankle due to tight stitching/seams, and a sewn-in tongue. Doesn't seem helpful until that puddle was a little deeper than you thought. Whoops. These boots will ensure your socks are still warm and dry. When it's 37 out, that's kind of a big effin' deal as our VP once put it.The steel on the toe is thick and the weight gives you some comfort when you hold the boot in your hand. It will save your little piggies should you suffer the misfortune of having something heavy land on your foot. That's kind of the idea.On another note, on at least one instance in my life I was glad of having a pair of steel-toes as I sat at a bar with a friend in a rough area. The bouncers had metal detectors. We went back to the car and I dropped off my SOG Trident that I typically carry and my buddy dropped off his Smith and Wesson. Point is, in a pinch, a steel-toes are like brass-knuckles for your feet that can't get taken off you due to a metal-detector. Stay safe out there.Great pair of boots, can't go wrong with them. I got them for $100 and was pleased as pie with the arrangement.

Great boot-just not comforable
Over all its a quality made boot. Why I gave it an "ok" rating: the insole b*ow$, like there really is't any point in it even being in there its so thin, it provides no support and no shock absorption/comfort. I have owned many pairs of boots, so I in no way had expectations of these guys feeling like my Nike's. Its a shame because they really are nice boots. My boots from shoes for crews were SO much more comfortable, they actually had a heal cushion in the insole. There were a few spots where the leather was damaged-not a big deal as these are work boots, but still-out of the box I would expect Timberland to want to take some pride in the product they deliver. **My works to Timberland: the mentality of "profits over people" doesn't work. Because yes, you my be able to "save" $xxx by cheapening up the insole quality, but at the end of the day a real person laces up those boots and goes to work. If your product suc*s they will find another that doesn't. Also, focusing on maintain the quality of the name that you have might be good too. I don't think the union shoe makers that made your boots here, back in the good ol' days when the American flag was still on the box would have sent out a product with glue stains and scratched leather. Just food for thought.
