Attractive design. Very comfortable. I got these for hiking and found myself wearing them everyday. I bought them about a year to year and a half ago. The soles have worn no much and have started to peel away from the body of the boots. They are no longer waterproof and my socks get wet just from walking in my grass yard in the mornings from dew. I will still wear them for yard work but nothing more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had several Timberland boots over the years, typically the 6", but was looking for something a little more versatile. These seem to be just as solid, but a little lighter and good for hiking or jobs that require a little more mobility. Very comfortable so far (though I've only worn them once), and already being waterproof is huge for winters in New England. Only issue I have is that both boots came a little scuffed, and even the stuffing was just laid on top of them in the box (instead of inside the shoe). The soles were still in perfect condition, so it doesn't appear they were really used, and not enough of an issue for me to exchange them.
Purchased in 10/2024 and on Feb 2025 the side seams began to split on both boots thus eleminating the waterproof feature. Will be returning these.
These boots are simply amazing. I completed 8 days of backpacking with roughly 3,000 feet elevation gain over 25 miles. Had to cross creeks, climb rocks, walk thru some very rough terrain and my feet never got tired or wet. I had tried a few different boots previously and each time had issues with either the fit or comfort. Once I put these boots on I knew these were the ones. I'm so glad I took the risk and tried these and they will be my go to boot for all my outdoor adventures going forward.
Previous lifelong timberland boot owner. First picture is my prior pair that I hiked and backpacked in from 2018, hundreds of miles on them. They were due for a replacement so I ordered same model, same size, which is the second picture. I took them for a practice hike of about 4 miles and found their sizing had changed and the size 13s were now significantly larger with my feet sliding in them on downhill sections. Timberland would not process the return even after I cleaned them, zero scuffs and no dirt. Will never buy a timberland product again. Previous lifelong timberland boot owner. Bought a pair of Danner boots that fit properly and am very happy with that brand.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are sorry to hear that this was your experience. We will ensure it is directed to the appropriate department.
I was ecstatic to find this same model of hiking boot in the store to replace the pair that I bought what seems ages and ages ago. I wore this boot almost daily for hiking, fishing, work, and pleasure, and even had the original shoelaces. The soles of my original boots were worn almost completely smooth. The one negative I did notice (like mentioned in some of the negative reviews) was that the wings of the toe rubber would become detached and collect blades of grass and other foliage, but that was a minor inconvenience which was far outweighed by the durability and function of the hiking boot. I feel I definitely more than got my money's worth out of my original purchase and now that I think of it, I'm wondering if I should go back to the store and buy a second pair.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I,m sitting down in front of the TV with it on, cooling it with your boot on. Ive been home from the grocery store for my wife for about 2 hours with this boot on my feet. Normally I would be in my bed time slip on,s. This boot is made well, looks and fills good , very comfortable . When I first got them, in a couple of days the weather was bad. With this boot the fill of it makes you walk with power and authority.. I love the two of the same pair I brought, black and brown. I ordered four pair. For the Holidays I gave a pair to a good friend. He notice the fill when He tried them on. Can't go wrong with this boot.
Great product. I usually wear a pair of boots out after a year or so, but these Timberland Maddsens have lasted 3 years and are still going strong. The sole is wearing down understandably which will lead me to buy a new pair. I even wear them on rough surfaces and on residential/commercial roofs, they have great traction.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish you could walk a mile in my shoes, as long as they are the extraordinary Timberland Madsen boots I just recently purchased, have purchased in the past and will continue to purchase in the future!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Boots held up well on trek across Northern Spain from Frane, across Perinese to the Atlantic and down to Portugal. Comfort, reliable and strength.
