Always in search for a durable and comfortable steel toe boot. I gambled buying this without actually trying them on and they fit perfect. Working in the oilfield I need a durable boot and so far these have done the job. I will stick with Timberland boots from now on.

Ok just an update to my previous input. I went onto a drilling location and although I was standing in about 2" of water and who knows what else my feet never got wet. I am totally impressed with these boots and as I said I will be sticking with the brand for a while

Update: The more I wear these boots, the more I like them. They are tough, and ridiculously comfortable. I even tried jogging a bit just out of curiosity and they weren't bad. If they hold up, I'll be giving them 5 stars...
---------
I needed an all-around outdoor work boot that could also stand up to thorny brush and occasional contact with barbed wire without being shredded. I usually wear all-leather old-school combat boots, and have also tried all-leather 'cowboy' boots. The problems I usually have with these are that either the sole separates / cracks, or the stitching breaks on the lower parts. So I thought I would try a more expensive boot that would hopefully be more durable.

There are 3 main reasons I picked these specific boots: 1, because of the 'abrasion resistant' coating over the bottom third toe/heel area. 2, because the toe leather overlaps the leather with the eyelets so it should be less likely to fall apart and 3, because the soles are supposed to be really good on these and well-attached.

Initial impressions after wearing for 2 days...

As a different reviewer said, these don't seem like $180 boots. If they hold up, however, I will consider them worth it. They are extremely comfortable compared to combat boots. No break-in time needed at all. The toe area is pretty spacious on these. The only problem area for me has been the tongue/laces irritate my feet above the ankle if I don't get them situated right (I have to tighten them pretty snugly). After a few days, this doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.

The quality of the boot seems to decline with height from the floor. Meaning: the sole seems really stout and well attached, and the abrasion-resistant coated leather on the bottom third seems like it will take some abuse and also not fall apart due to water. The leather that holds the lace eyelets is tucked under the abrasion-resistant leather so that the attachment is protected (instead of being on the outside like my combat boots where it can come apart). It's hard to describe in words, but for illustration if you look at this combat boot design:

www.amazon.com/Rothco-Leather-Speedlace-Combat-Black/dp/B000JMC8YU

You can see how the leather part with the lace eyelets continues down to the sole on the outside of the toe leather. That exposed angle of leather tends to get broken stitching and then the boot comes apart. A lot of different boot designs have that part exposed and for my purposes that is a design flaw and will cause the boots to ruin. This Timberland boot protects that attachment point, so it's an important plus for this boot.

But above that, the construction becomes more like a high-top tennis shoe. The tongue is a really soft leather, which I can see getting torn apart. On the upper part above the heel there is more soft leather. The cuff is some sort of soft mesh/foam material. The construction is not confidence-inspiring for the upper 2/3...

I thought about sending them back, but my other boots are all unusable right now. I decided to keep these based on the sole and lower 1/3 construction. That part seems pretty impressive. Guess we'll see after some hard use. Next time I think I will try the Belleville combat boots...

5.0 out of 5 stars Fits great, does the job, especially the non-slip soles.

These boots fit exactly at the size you order. If you wear thick socks to work, you might consider ordering a half size larger. The the upper support around the ankle felt like it was already broken in. The rest of the boot required a couple of days on the job to relax and mold to my feet. Now the boot feels better than the sneakers I wear into work. I had some misgivings about ordering waterproof boots, but I haven't felt a buildup of moisture throughout the day and my feet keep relatively cool. I got some chemical on the boots on the first week of wearing them, but they took it fine. The non-slip soles definitely work. I can walk stably over floors covered with the waste of one of our processes that caused my previous boots to slip all over the place. Overall these are some of the best boots I've ever bought and I don't regret ordering them from Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best boots I have ever owned - mad they were stolen from my truck and I can't buy another pair in my size.

Now I am really mad that my boots were stolen from my truck. I loved these boots. They were the most comfortable immediately, with no break in needed.
Reason I am mad is because I came back to order another pair and they don't have my size. From the comments I have been reading they are discontinued. I doubt I will be lucky enough to find another pair like it without some trial and error. They were expensive, the most expensive boots I have purchased by far but in my opinion worth it.
I hope I can find another pair of boots like it. If anyone has any suggestions, please leave in comments.
Thanks,
David

I just received this product today, two days before the promised delivery! I was so pleased with the quality of the product! They look great and are exactly as advertised! What makes this an awesome seller is I accidentally ordered the wrong size, when I realized my error I had already submitted the order! I sent an email to the seller and in no time they replied and guaranteed they would correct my mistake! And when I opened the package today, the product was perfect! I will order from them again in the future for any similar needs! Great seller!

I usually get 1 and a half to two years out of my Red Wings. I have ordered the same $170 pair four times. I wanted to try something different this time. I got 4 and a half months out of these Timberlands before they weren't even puddle worthy. My feet got wet way too easily.The rubber got deep cracks in it and the tread wore down very quickly. I went back to the pair of Red Wings that I retired and have worn them another six months. They're two and a half years old now, and they have no tread left and chunks of the super sole are coming out, but my feet are still bone dry when I'm working in standing water. I do treat all my boots to a beeswax coating every six or so months. The beeswax didn't help the Timberlands. I am a commercial service plumber - So my boots take a lotta s...tuff.
