Timberland

For three generations, Timberland has been famous for its rugged outdoor gear. The first Timberland waterproof leather boot was introduced in 1973, setting a new standard for durability, craftsmanship, and protection from the elements. Dependable and authentic, this classic boot stands as a symbol for everything that Timberland makes. When you buy Timberland boots for men, women, or kids, you’re getting gear that is built to get you outdoors comfortably and confidently.
 
What Is Timberland Famous For?
Timberland is known for heavy-duty boots. Timberland shoes started in the 1970s as a shoe for construction workers, but New Yorkers quickly adapted them into winter shoes in the 1980s to keep their toes warm in harsh winters. In the 1990s, they became popular worldwide thanks to hip-hop artists and musicians who have continued the trend of wearing Timberlands to today.

The original Timberlands are also known as the Original Yellow Boot.
 
What Are the Most Popular Timberland Boots?
Some of the most popular styles of Timberland boots are the 6-Inch Premium Boot, the 6-Inch Classic Boot and the Euro Hiker Boot. 
What’s the Difference Between Classic and Premium Timberlands?
The biggest difference between the Classic and Premium Timberlands is the sole. The Premium boot features a thick and heavy sole that incorporates a variety of materials to provide greater support and comfort than the original, which has a thinner sole primarily made out of rubber.
 
What’s the Difference Between Male and Female Timberland Boots?
The only difference is that boots sold in women’s sizes come standard with a B width in the U.S., while men’s styles have a wider D width. Men with smaller feet can wear women’s styles and women with larger feet can wear men’s styles if that’s more comfortable.

Is it OK to Wear Timberlands in the Summer?
Timberland boots are an ideal footwear option for all seasons. They are comfortable and sturdy and work just as well with shorts as they do with jeans.

Are Timberlands Waterproof?
Timberlands are waterproof, but for extra protection and to keep your boots looking good for years to come, make sure to pick up a care kit while you’re shopping at our Timberland store. These kits contain a special cleaner and waterproofing spray to help you keep your new shoes in top shape.

Are Timberlands Good for Snow?
Since Timberland’s boots are waterproof and warm and have great grip, they are perfect for snowy weather, providing traction in the slush while keeping your feet warm and dry.

Are Timberland Shoes Good for Hiking?
The classic 6-inch boot is not designed for hiking, but Timberland does make hiking boots, too. The Euro Hiker Boot would be perfect for your next adventure. 

Can You Get Stains Out of Timberlands?
You can get stains out by using a cloth or rag to wipe off as much dirt as possible and then using a nail file to gently lift the grain of the suede. If there are still some scuff marks and stains, you can rub them with a pencil eraser or baby wipes.

How Do I Identify My Timberland Boots??
Timberland boots are an incredibly popular brand among counterfeiters, so when you buy Timberland boots, you’ll want to check these things:
  • All genuine Timberland boots come in a sturdy box made from recycled materials with the brand’s name and logo on it as well as a label with detailed information about the size, style, color, and footprint of the shoes.
  • Most fake Timberland boots sold online have a bar code on the tag attached to the eyelet, which is common for some brands but never the case for the Timberland boot company’s products.
  • Check the logo for discrepancies in the shape, spacing, and color.
  • Genuine Timberland boots have high-quality stitching that is evenly spaced in four rows throughout the boots, with threads that closely match the color of the boots. Counterfeit boots have uneven stitching with threads that tend to be too light or too dark.
  • Genuine Timberland boots should have a little bit of weight to them due to the leather, suede, and high-grade rubber that make up the boot. If it feels light, that’s an indication of poor-quality materials.
  • Verify the style. Sometimes, counterfeiters come up with “unique” styles instead of following only the ones the brand manufactures.
  • Only buy your boots from a reputable retailer like Journeys to ensure that you’re getting high-quality boots straight from the source.
Where Is the Style Number on Timberland Boots?
The style number is normally printed under the tongue or along the inner lining.
