Fantastic for urban hiking/walking -- or if ankle padding in regular hking boots bugs you
I walk in my neighborhood about an hour a day, and I have comfortable sneakers which are great. But there are canals and levees I can walk beside and on, and I didn't do it because the grass is sometimes wet or tall, and my sneakers would get soaked or get dirty, plus twigs and whatnot would stick to my shoes and socks or even get inside my shoes. It was a pain.I ordered some hiking boots for this reason, and found the padding around the ankles of hiking boots is uncomfortable to me. I wear Skechers sneakers, so I even ordered Skechers hiking boots to be sure I got the right size and knew they would be comfortable ... and they weren't. That traditional hiking boot style is just not right for me!Then I saw these, and it looked like the padding was up higher than the ankles, and was not as thick as the ankle padding around regular hiking boots, so I wanted to give them a try. They are perfect! They were comfortable right out of the box. First day I walked 2 miles, and they were comfortable, no blisters, fantastic. I've worn them several days now, hiked along 2 levees, and they've been great. Water resistant, no twigs or pebbles getting in my shoes. Love them.You can tell in the photos, I don't lace them all the way to the top. Maybe my large ankles are the problem and not the hiking boots, but when I lace them to the top, I have to tighten them too much for comfort to have enough shoestring to tie them securely! But even with only lacing them up to the second eyelet, they are still perfectly comfortable and work great walking in wet grass, etc. No complaints.__** Update 6-6-23**Within a couple weeks I was easily able to lace them al the way to the top and tie them; the leather gave way a little, and now they are even more comfortable. I did add insoles, but overall still very comfortable and great for walking.___Based on the reviews here, I went up half a size. My Skechers are size 7, and I ordered these in size 7-1/2, and they fit perfectly. I also ordered hiking socks, whatever Amazon's choice was, and those are a must because my regular socks wouldn't be tall enough.My recommendation: buy these 1/2 size large and wear them with hiking socks. You will enjoy your walks! I don't actually do hiking in mountains and deserts, but for sort of urban hiking/walking, they're great!___ Update 8-7-24 ___I had to buy new ones at the end of July this year, but I got the exact same ones. You can see in the new photos I added; the waterproofing wore off, the stitching gave way around one of the eyelets at the bottom of the lacing, so the water was getting in there, too, and the treads were flattening significantly (the final photo shows the soles of the new ones for comparison). This was after a year and a half or so of walking 2+ miles a day, 5 or 6 days a week, mostly on concrete but sometimes in grass and dirt. I don't know how long hiking boots are supposed to last! The boots remained comfortable, and the new ones are comfy, too.

Can't go wrong with Timberland
These boots look amazing! Exactly like in the description. Definitely Timberland quality, hope they will last as long as I have come to expect from them. Bought this for my wife as a Valentine's day present and she absolutely loves them and says they're super comfortable. Ordered half a size up as stated by other reviewers, definitely good advise these run a tiny bit small. My wife is a size 7 and 7.5 was perfect.All in all very pleased. will try to update in a few months to report how they are holding up.

FAVORITE SOFT-TOE WORK BOOT
I work on a warehouse dock and these are my favorite soft-toe work boots. They feel like you’re wearing chucks, or some other flat tennis-shoe. There is a 1/8” flat “cushioned” footbed, but it’s not contoured. Super soft, super durable, and despite the light color, they clean up great! I wipe off smudges and marks with a magic eraser and they look like new. The suede stays pretty. This is my 2nd pair.

Wildly comfortable & stylish hightops
I purchased a pair of these Timberland hightops several years ago at Academy, and hadn't found them in stock there again...figured they'd been discontinued.I took a chance that Amazon might have them, and Voila!! These are THE MOST comfortable shoes I've ever worn in the past 20 years. I used to wear 6.5/7, but because of bunions (I'm 65, if that helps), I now purchase boots/shoes in 7.5 or 8, and sandals in 7 or 7.5. I ordered theses in 7.5...perfection. I recently wore them while trudging up and down the hilly campus of UT in Austin, while waiting for a show to begin...no pain whatsoever, just cushy comfort.

Size runs small. It fits but I should have taken half size up from my normal Timberland size.
As others have stated, these Timberland sneakers run small and narrow. They fit me, but I should have taken a half size up from my normal Timberland size. Otherwise, these are quality sneakers, soft leather, comfortable and great design.

Timberland Oh My
I have both tan and black! I have a bad back and learned the hard way that shoes can make or break my day. I love Timberlands. These meet my expectations for Timberland as they are made well with high quality materials. Timberland also focus on comfort and I appreciate the round toe. I have several pairs of Timberland and two of these this year.

Good waterproof walking for low arches
I bought these for my rainy walk heavy February Europe trip. I averaged 17,000 steps a day for a week in cobblestoned cities in unfortunately a lot of rain. My feet stayed dry and I had ZERO foot achiness. I wore with wool or boot socks every day, true to size, doesn’t run small for me like others have said. The black is stylish. I wore tied low as sneakers and tied high. The leather is very flexible. I am so happy with this purchase I’m just bummed they will be too hot to wear in summer.
