Timberland Men's White Ledge Mid Waterproof Ankle Boot

Comment

I am very sad to say that Timberland quality seems to be falling off a cliff as of late. These ARE NOT LEATHER, but a synthetic material that does not age well. And while synthetic is in the item description, what is not listed is the POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP, LACK of ATTENTION to DETAILS and terrible Quality Control. Please see my photos and ask yourself, (1) How could these pass inspection? and (2) How could Timberland sign off on this (put their name on) these? Mind you, these photos are not of boots that were worn and frayed... these photos are of the boots straight of the box just as you see here. The stitching is all over the place, the waterproof tab sewn through and crooked. I used to be willing to pay good money for Timberlands because you knew you were getting rugged, American made footwear with a tradition of craftsmanship. Sadly, this is not the case with Timberland anymore as these are made in China from synthetic materials and bear no resemblance of Timberland of even 10 years ago.

My husband loved these because theyre lightweight like an athletic shoe but provide good support. However, after having worn them for less than two weeks one of the shoelace eyelet-rivets detached itself from the leather, rendering them useless. So disappointing. To make matters worse, the current seller ShoeBuy (used to be handled by Amazon) is not responding to refund requests, even though Ive gone through all the proper channels.

I have only one issue with this boot. Overall I like the boots, felt good right out of the box. With that said, I have a size 9 reg foot but on the wide side but not enough to order wider E width. The solution has always been to buy 1/2 larger ie.. 9.5 instead of 9.0. My current boots being replaced are 9.5 and I can wear heavy wool socks like I perfer. Not with these, I probaly should have returned them but with thin athletic socks they fit like a glove. I am sure in time when the breaking in has accured the boots will have more room but they really should be a bit looser from the start. What I am saying is order them 1/2 size larger than your current boot no matter what size foot you really have. On the topic of water proofing which has been discussed in other reviews, if you do what you should use a protector on them before the first use... then there will be no issue with that up to the upper eyelets at that point the lower web of the tung stops and so would the waterproofing, they will resist water for a short period of time at ankle depth but water will seep by. The issue of traction which is a big one for me, I have put them to the test in that area and I am very pleased. I have not had a slip in situations where one would exspect, after rain going over rocks and dead trees no prob. Ah yes the final piece of the puzzle is the support both shank and ankle, I am pleased to say that there pretty good in both areas. Plenty of support.. I would recommend these, just order as I stated.

I have blown more money over my lifetime buying into the Timberland product line, always with the anticipation the newest and greatest model would make up for the inadequacies of the one I recently purchased.... I believe I am at the point of fool you once... fool is you Twice this time around....I purchased these shoes this summer and complained within two weeks about the eyehole of the boot coming loose; and didnt ever hear from the company or anyone representing the product. These shoes have been worn minimally but even after I reinserted the eye hole and tried to avoid any strain while tying them, they continue to be a problem. This is now my 22nd pair, but first in the last 15 years; and it is very disappointing to see the same old quality issues plague the company; and I have come to expect the quality of Lowa and Merrell; which this company is unable to emulate. Ive attached a picture for you to review and allow you to form your own opinions....

I ordered these for my husband who has wide feet with a pretty flat arch. Hes incredibly hard on his shoes and he needs shoes that are supportive and can really stand up to everything he puts them through. In this instance, he needed waterproof boots and I ordered these despite being concerned that they might not be waterproof enough. Im happy to say I was wrong - these are great! Not only do they look great, but they held up to him hosing down a ship deck and soaking his boots in the process and his feet stayed dry! The fit is great and he needed zero break in time. Theyre now his go-to shoes whenever hes going anywhere and hes says theyre extremely comfortable to be in all day with no soreness or irritation. Im really pleased with how well these are made, and how well theyre holding up to heavy, regular use. They still look brand new, and if you knew my husband, youd know thats really saying something!
