Very Durable!
UPDATE - 20 Apr 2024 - These boots are STILL functioning well!############19 Feb 2021After using these boots for 2-1/2 years I'm now comfortable providing a review. While these have not been used in the harshest environment (oil field, construction, etc.) they have been used frequently in light construction, landscaping and urban hiking (dog walking) in rain, snow and mud.Compared to other boots I have owned recently, these earn a high rating for durability. The soles have not worn excessively even with a lot of walking on concrete, asphalt or gravel. Solid enough to wear well but soft enough to grip and be comfortable.My recall is that the fit was quite well right out of the box. My foot geometry has a narrow heel so EVERY boot requires me to make some minor adjustment with lacing, socks, etc. The lace-to-toe feature seems to add to that stability by securing the boot at the ball of my foot to minimize slippage front to back. Other than my odd heels the overall fit is great with enough room in the toe box and a snug grip around the arch and ankle.No noticeable deterioration in the uppers at this time. Overall stitching, eyelets, hooks, leather and sole bonding is like new. NOTE TO TIMBERLINE: The upper hooks could be a bit larger as the laces are barely covered by the hook. This results in the lace popping out of the hook unless tension is provided at the perfect angle when tying. Once they're properly tied it is a secure fit.Overall I would recommend these boots based on durability, fit and value and would definitely by another pair. Not needing replacement now (and no longer needing this type of boot) I'll continue to use these for multiple uses as they are versatile enough for many applications.

I will always buy these boots...even if the last pair isn't worn out yet!!!
This is my second pair of this boot and I really like them for ALL day comfort and protection. I work for an electric utility so my boots have to be EH "Electrical Hazard" rated and have toe protection, while meeting the ANSI standards, and these boots do all of that. Very comfortable, nice looking, tough soles and uppers, good strong laces, tongue stays in-place, good traction on wet surfaces including snow, rain, mud, etc. don't seem to harbor smells and other unpleasantness...what more could you want? Why is this my second pair? Well, my first pair, which are year old, aren't worn out or even close to that, but these were on sale for 25% off, which made them roughly $86 and I just couldn't pass that deal up. So I'm saving them for time in the future. By the way, if you want to make your boots uber waterproof, apply mink oil to them quarterly, or as often as your use dictates. It will darken the color of the leather but it's a small price to pay for dry feet!

The Titans are good, but didn't quite have the same feel
I purchased these in 10.5M after purchasing the Timberland Pro Men's Direct Attach 8" Steel Toe Boot in 10.5M for last winter. Those boots feel rock solid on my feet and I can wear them all day. The Titans are good, but didn't quite have the same feel. Maybe the arch support is different, maybe its the lack of insulation or just because its a shorter boot. Overall the boot is good, the leather is comfortable and supple and the boot can be worth right out of the box. Better for indoor/warehouse work over rugged outdoor construction work but would work for either. They seem to run just a tad big but I've never had an comfort issues and they look nice with jeans or even with shorts.

Good work boot
Comfortable, with a better fit than the regular lace version. I'm expecting it to be very durable if it's like the regular lace version I had previously. Finally has hooks for the top two lace points, which makes it easy to take on and off. Worth the outlay over cheaper competitors.

Good solid boot
I have trouble with my feet and try to find good solid footwear. These boots are wide enough and durable so that I do not have any problems. I found my size and I just reorder. I am on my third pair now in 6 years and all three pairs have been great. I wear these daily at work and use them hard. They stand up to the wear and are consistent in quality. Great job Timberland!

Indestructible
These shoes scar very easily. Most comfortable rugged work boot for extreme conditions. Even though they look dead after two weeks they maintain their fit and support. I usually buy one pair every two years. Now I use them for yard work because my arches hurt after a day using a different shoe. With these my feet don’t get sore and I stay energized.
