July 2018 Update: These are not for made for enduring anything more than a casual trail. Do some research into these boots and you’ll quickly find that they’re popular in the construction field and other non-outdoors activities. Recently went on a moderate hike with a 180 ft decline/incline in a very short distance. Happened to catch to a rain shower as well. These boots really don’t have the traction needed to be confident in footing. Not all is bad and they’re not useless. Great for those needing a boot that will hold up while doing the garden, cutting grass, digging that new patio out. The temperature control is great. Not sure why or how with the full leather surround, but they are. I marked these down to a 3 star because for me, they just don’t fit the bill and I believe they’re marketed a bit incorrectly. Timberland does have better suited hiking boots though, just do your online research as there are some better options around this price range. Great shoes, very comfortable. Theyre NOT warm, so make sure if youre looking for a winter boot that you wear socks with these. However, I personally did not buy these to be snow boots, but rather for spring/summer hiking. My only complaint is that the tongue catches the lip of my pants quite a bit so I look like a rapper wearing timbs with the tongue over the pants. Not a bad thing, just not what I want. Overall though, great shoe. Ive had a friend thats had two pairs in the last 6 years, so they do last.
