Fits me perfectly, waterproof/durable for life, outstanding support
I replaced an identical 15 year old pair with 2 pairs of these hiking boots. They fit me so perfectly that I could sleep in these. Great support for previously sprained ankle as if the hiking boots are an ankle wrap. My 15 year old pair is still waterproof fully up to the ankle and still can be used for hiking. Great hiking/walking shoe with outstanding support. Sturdy non-slip grip for all types of hiking terrain - winter ice, lava rock, mud, up/down slopes, and water soaked surfaces. Good support for a stand up all day work job. Durable - Stood the test of time. Waterproof up to the top of the boot. True to size. Year round hiking shoe for all temperatures with waterproof for snow/rain hiking. Comfortable with any types of socks. I am a lifetime hiker with a spare hiking boot in my car "just in case" I want to walk/hike or change to my favorite supportive hiking boot.

Well made, comfortable, waterproof.
I am a male with a narrow (9 B) foot. I bought the size 11 women's Chocorua Trail boot and they fit just the way I wanted. They have enough room for a thick pair of wool socks in winter. In summer, I put an extra neoprene insole under the standard insole and wear regular cotton socks. I just wore these for some day hiking in Colorado's Front Range, in mixed muddy, slushy, snowy conditions. They gave good support, were light and comfortable, and stayed dry. I have stood in a flowing creek up to my laces, and not felt any water in the boot. There was no break in period, no hotspots, no blisters. The sole is multi purpose, so on some of the mixed snow/ice sections, I would have liked a bit more aggressive sole, but in most circumstances, they were just fine. the top two eyelets are speed hooks. The tongue is a bit shorter than I like, so the laces will sometimes slide over the top and against my ankle. This is true for many brands of boots. I recommend lacing into the top hooks from top to bottom, so the laces tie well below the top of the tongue and stay put.

These boots are better than I could have imagined!
After trying on nearly 15 pairs of hiking boots, I decided to purchase this pair. In regular shoes I am a 7.5, but in hiking boots I go for an 8 wide. I bought them for hiking, but I’m finding myself using them almost daily for everyday tasks...walking the dog, frisbee golf, or just when it’s raining and I want a dry foot. I’ve put probably 30 miles on them so far in dry, wet, muddy, and rocky conditions, and even walked through streams and marshes, and have come out with dry and painless feet each time. Technically they are only waterproof about halfway up the boot, but as long as they’re laced properly, I’ve quickly hopped through water up to the ankle and remained dry. They are incredibly comfy, although I will purchase an insole to give the ball of my foot a little more cushion for longer hikes. The boots breath very well when paired with a good sock, and my feet stay comfortably dry and cool. My only complaint if you could call it that is the leather on the toe box is very impressionable. When I was trying them on I did some lunges to test flexibility and where they bent left very sharp creases in the leather that made the boots appear to be very worn in right from the start. The cheaper timberlands I tried on did not do this. It might be a good thing because I could break them in very quickly, but I kind of expect a new boot to look new for more than ten minutes. Overall, I’m incredibly satisfied with this boot.

Great boots but had to size up
I liked this boots and were well-built, slip resistant, and seem to provide arch support. The design is casual and perfect for hiking. But they felt a bit narrow. I usually wear 9.5 but I suppose for this brand I am a 10.They seem as sturdy and comfortable as a pm similar pair I got 10 years ago. I returned them but purchased the next size right away, I think they are worth the money.

... boots once before and found them to be the best hiking boots I've ever worn
I owned a pair of these boots once before and found them to be the best hiking boots I've ever worn, so after trying another less expensive option, I came back to the Timberland Cochura's and am so glad I did. I actually do hike 4-6 day/s week on step, rocky county - full of prickly pear cactus, loose rock (scree) and large areas of rocky shelf- and I go out in all weather (including snow storms), so I put many hard miles on hiking boots. I find these to fit perfectly, with just the right contours to keep my heel in the boot and not rub; the arch support is perfect for me, and the insole provides great shock absorption while also being a firm foundation. So far mine are waterproof, but full disclosure: whenever ANY leather boot product is listed as waterproof, I read "water resistant" and give the boots a couple coats of silicone water proofer. The quality, craftsmanship and durability with these is excellent, and they arrive perfectly laced and ready to go on my feet and out the door. I wore the first pair I had for two years before I had to finally replaced them (again, 2 hard years). think these are a great value for the money, and I'm not sure a much more expensive boot would be an improvement.

Awesome boots, great value
These boots are super! I have week ankles and they support without pinching or making my ankles ache. The first pair I've had for about 8 years. The metal broke on the first shoestring holder and one pull strap is torn, but I still wear them for yard work. Other than that the soles and stitching are fine. I will wear them until they fall apart. The new boot was comfortable the 1st day I put them on. They have good arch support which is important as I have a constant battle keeping plantar fasciitis at bay. They are roomy enough for thick socks in the winter but will tighten up around lighter socks for summer hikes. I have several pair of more expensive hiking boots in my closet pretty much collecting dust. They don't compare in comfort and performance to these Timberlands. They are my "go to" hiker. I hope Timberland never quits making them.
