Timberland PRO Men's Boondock 6" Waterproof Non-Insulated Work Boot

Comment

These are very nice, comfortable boots. I have owned Dr. Martens and Keen work boots before I purchased these, and both of them had the sole of the boot split within a year of purchasing them. I have had these Timberlands for nearly two years now, and there are two reasons why Im looking to upgrade: 1) Im 58", with pretty small feet, and this boots are massive. They almost look like clown shoes on me, but I was willing to overlook that for 2 years because theyre so darn comfortable. 2) I am on my feet about 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and the tread is pretty well gone. This wouldnt be much of an issue if it werent for the fact that Minnesota winter is near, and Id like to have some traction when everything is covered in ice in 2 months. If it were March, Id hang on to these for another 7 months. One other very minor gripe that I had with these boots is that once the original insoles wore to the point that they were no longer comfortable (about 1.5 years after purchase), I purchased the same exact anti-fatigue replacement insoles from Timberland, and they were noticeable thinner toward the front of the foot, and never quite as comfortable as the originals. If it werent for the fact that these are so bulky for my smaller stature, Id purchase them 100 times over. That being said, I will be replacing them with the Timberland Pro Helix HD 6", which seem to be the next best thing, but a little less bulky. Whenever Im doing research, I find that reviews from people who have owned a product for quite a while are the most helpful, so I hope that this helps someone make a decision on these boots.

These arrived November 1st 2017. As of February 8th the rubber material making the bottom of the sole has completely warn off of the heals. This new material is garbage. Ive been wearing nothing at work, except the boondock, since I bought my first pair in 2013. This is the first time the bottom of the shoe has worn off in less than six months. A 9 week life span is inexcusable for a shoe that cost $180. Im very angry that I now have to look for another brand of boot. :(

As a pipe fitter, I have worked in some of the toughest terrain imaginable. While working the Trans-Alaskan pipeline in Valdez, Alaska, it quickly became apparent that the boots I was wearing werent going to withstand the 8 weeks on, 2 weeks off, seven 10 hour shifts we were working. (Thats right folks, 7 days a week, 10 hour days, for 8 weeks at a time.) I did my research, and found these boots. Two weeks into my first rotation I went ahead and ordered them, along with two sets of air pillows. Not only did these boots withstand three rotations on the pipeline without so much as a scratch, they are still in good shape now almost two years later. I will not lie to you and say that youll want to wear these all the time. The fact is that there is no work boot known to man that will prevent your feet from hurting at the end of a hard day standing on concrete or grating. However, these boots are the most comfortable pair Ive ever owned, and my feet hurt less with these than any other brand Ive tried, which is always a plus. I have worn these boots while working the pipeline, combined cycle and coal power houses, paper mills, nukes, and even at Blue Origins at Cape Canaveral, FL. If they ever do wear out, there will be no guesses as to whether or not Ill buy the same damn thing.

After several weeks of wearing the boots I am now going to write this review. Comfortable. One person wrote too much volume, I found it perfect. I had a wish list for work boots that I have developed over the last 40 years and these fit all categories but one. This list is specific to me so this is not a reflection on the boot. I wanted;waterproof, but not insulated, (how hard that is to find), easy to lace, but strong eyelets, a tongue that stayed in the center and did not creep to the side and expose my socks. I also wanted comfortable. Doing floor work has destroyed the toes of many of my boots, these are reinforced with this rubber toe. Soft top. The only feature that I would have liked is a flat, light colored sole with no cleats. I am very careful about tracking dirt as I am in and out of peoples houses all day. also light soles dont leave black scuff marks on a polished floor. But I will say that those flat soles offer little traction in the ice and snow we just came out of and these made me feel a lot safer walking on ice, going into these houses. Did I mention comfortable? These are surprisingly so...even right out of the box.

Have been using these boots for 3 months now, working 12 hour shifts. Footing is mostly on concrete with some time spent on compacted gravel. These are hands down the most comfortable pair of boots I have owned. The waterproofing is excellent having been through standing water and downpours. Durability to this point is excellent, with no degradation of any materials or stitching. The insoles are removable and can be replaced. These boots are slightly heavier than most other boots I have worn, but the comfort factor more than makes up for an extra ounce or two. Would I buy again? Absolutely!
