You get what you pay for!
After trying 3 pairs of cheaper “unisex” work boots, and all of them being way bigger than the size they claimed to be and being of dubious quality, I’m very happy to report these Timberland boots are true to size (especially for a 6-6.5 women’s) and very well made! Based on other reviewers, I did order a wide width even though I typically don’t need a wide, and I’m glad I did. I can lace these up tight and still have plenty of room in the toe box. They’re cute for work boots and not too heavy. (The toe IS steel, so that’s where it’s heaviest.) The interior molds well to my foot and I hope this means they’ll be comfortable for wearing all day. The 6.5 is a tiny bit big for me, but they didn’t have a 6 wide in black; I think it’ll be fine and it allows a little room for thick socks. I’ve got upcoming onsite tours at my work facilities in AZ and Canada where I need steel toed safety boots, so I hope these work for both extreme environments. I’ll try to remember to come back and give an update once I’ve worn them for awhile!
