Timberland Men's Earthkeeper Original Leather 6-Inch Boot

I have many styles and brands of boots and wanted to give these a try since being attracted to the aesthetics of it and wanting boot to do work and casual wear in. I did a fair amount of research, looked up reviews on web and on youtube. Many commented they run large so I tried them in a 9.5D and a 10D. The 9.5D felt too short but wide enough, the 10D felt fantastic with plenty of toe box room. (My brannock size is 11D regarding my longest foot). I also have a flatter foot with low instep and these lace up perfectly and give me snug enough heel cup as well with next to zero heel slip when laced for a snug fit. Mind you, I like a snug fitting boot but these feel great snug and with laces loosened to let some air flow in. I've had the boots on every day now for 8 days ... MoreI have many styles and brands of boots and wanted to give these a try since being attracted to the aesthetics of it and wanting boot to do work and casual wear in.

Mind you, I like a snug fitting boot but these feel great snug and with laces loosened to let some air flow in. I've had the boots on every day now for 8 days total at the time of this review. Worn all day both at home and at work (I do a ton of walking on hard concrete). They feel like the best sneakers would feel with the extra support a boot has along with the look and hard wearing construction. NOTE that these boots aren't rigid like other boots (Red Wing, Wolerine heritage styles, etc.) instead these feel very soft and bend easily (in a good way). I can say so far they feel like they'll hold up great. All the stitching is well thought out and put together with great QC. I have tons of traction and springiness with the insole/outsole choices Timberland made. They look amazing and will continue to develop that much desired 'Patina'. They feel unlike any other boots I've ever tried or owned and are just about perfection in comfort.. And to know that they are partly made from recycled materials and leave a smaller footprint (no pun intended) on our environment is the icing on the cake. Earthkeepers get my personal highest recommendation!

These boots soft and comfortable. I've gotten used to my steel toe Red Wing work boots which are, of course, stiffer and heavier in order to serve their intended purpose. I wanted a pair of boots that I could wear casually or in a lax office environment (in the winter). That meant getting a boot with a slimmer profile and is lighter on the feet! These boots definitely meet those criteria. These can certainly be paired with a pair of chinos/khakis (which is what's typical in my office) or jeans. Size wise - I've learned to size my shoes and boots by the EU size rather than the US size, as I find the EU size to be more accurate. I checked all my shoes and boots (including my Red Wings) before purchasing and they are all 44.5 EU. In US size this means my shoe and boot ... MoreThese boots soft and comfortable.

I checked all my shoes and boots (including my Red Wings) before purchasing and they are all 44.5 EU. In US size this means my shoe and boot size varies from 10.5 to 11 (annoying that not every brand's US size is teed up to the same EU size). So I ordered the 44.5 EU model (10.5 US). My Red Wings are a 44.5 EU and 11 in US. My Oboz hiking boots are a 44.5 EU and 11 in US. So as far as I was concerned, going with a 44.5 EarthKeeper would work out (10.5 US). Turns out that was too big! Looks like I'll need to wear a 44 EU for these Timberland boots (maybe for all Timbs?). In retrospect, perhaps I should have known to go down a 0.5 EU size to begin with - given that these are a softer boot with a sort moc toe design. Looks like I'll be returning my 44.5 (10.5) with a pair of 44 (10)! Other than that, I can't complain. These boots look like the ones pictured. Just make sure when you order - go down at least a half size in your US size, if not a full half size down US. In my case, I'm going down a full US size from my usual boots, which translates to going down a 0.5 EU.

I had two pairs of boots. I bought them 12 Years ago at the same time, one light brown and the other dark brown-red. One I presented to a friend after 5 years of use. The other one I still have it. Is a very pleasant shoe. The only problem are the soles. Two years after I purchased I changed the soles in both because they just gone. (I put same still but not from Timberland). I was using and I am using for every day use spring and autumn in city environment. Nothing extreme. The light brown is still in use. I am happy. Is a classy boot and I love it.
