Shoes Bot — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 23:21:54 +0000

Style Description: No matter how cold it is outside, the UGG Adirondack Boot II will always keep your feet completely protected. Made from the premium quality materials, these boots have tones of comfort and durability to offer. They are rugged and they provide excellent performance on all types of surfaces. The interior is designed to keep your feet as comfortable and warm as possible and the exterior provides protection against harsh weather. The upper is made from the full grain leather which falls in the category of the finest quality materials. The upper has the eVent™ membrane which is windproof and waterproof. This membrane prevents the water and chilly winds from entering the boots while allowing the moisture inside the boots to move out. This eVent™ allows the moisture caused by the sweat to move out of the sole through the tiny holes. In this case the interior stays fresh and dry. The upper also has the laces on the top along with metal eyelets which allows you to get personalized fit. The cuff can be folded to get different looks. The upper has the pull on tab on the back which enables you to wear these boots quickly. The lining is made from the sheepskin and waterproof leather. This combination of lining keeps the feet healthy, dry and odorless by wicking away the moisture and it also keeps the feet warm and cozy. The insole is super comfortable and it can be wash, removed and replaced to use your custom orthotic. The outsole is made from the Vibram® which is best material to provide excellent performance. This outsole is specifically designed for the UGG® Australia. It provides traction on wet and dry surface including snow. The outsole has the seam seal construction to keep the interior dry and to prevent the moisture from entering the shoe. Its heel is 1 inch high with 7 inches high shaft and 12 ½ inches of circumference. It weighs 1 pound and 7 ounces.

Rime Ridge Premium Waterproof Boots

Shoes Bot — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 15:17:00 +0000

Featured Review: (by laddie), I purchased the wheat colored boot at the factory store in Woodbridge, VA – the boot is comfortable and stylish. However while walking around in the boot, I noticed that when the shoe lace rings rub against the leather, it causes a squeaking sound, similar to rubbing your finger across the washed surface of a plastic container. I thought it could have been a residue left on the rings from the manufacturing process, so I wiped all of the rings with a clear isopropyl alcohol, but it did not help. Because of the crowd noise in the factory store, the squeaking sound is not apparent, but walking around at home in a quiet setting, the sound is much more noticeable. I also just received the Brown Rime I ordered online and after walking around in them, the shoe lace rings make the same sound . Overall, I think it is a great boot – I hope the issue I’ve experienced is not a wide-spread problem.

PRO Rigmaster Boots – Waterproof, Steel Toe

Shoes Bot — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 14:40:17 +0000

Featured Review: (by Adam), After about 2 weeks of wearing the boots every day for 10-14 hours a day, the liner inside the left heel started slipping causing an annoying noise while walking. I returned them with in the 30 day satisfaction guarantee time frame. I initially spoke to Timberland direct and received awful customer service, after notifying the customer service representative that I was relying on the 30 day satisfaction guarantee I was referred to timberland.com customer service. After speaking to the timberland.com representative I was extremely satisfied with the resolution. I have owned 2 pairs of the steel trax boots which are pretty tuff even though the soles a bit on the hard side. Too bad timberland.com seems like an entirely different company.

TiTAN® Terrain 10-Inch Waterproof Safety Toe Boots

Shoes Bot — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 14:34:28 +0000

Featured Review: (by Glazier Dale), I’m a commercial Glazier in Colorado, thats windows. There isn’t an inside to a building untill I’m done with it. That meens I work in all weather conditions. I spent a decent portion of my day on ladders, lifts, and my knees. These boots were the most durrable boot I have ever worn, also the most comfortable. If you don’t take care of your feet, you can’t work. The first pair I owned lasted almost two years.

PRO® Helix 6-Inch Boots with Safety Toe

Shoes Bot — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 15:49:08 +0000

Featured Review: (by Gblas), Probably the best work boots I have owned were the timberland pit boss from about 12 years ago. They were comfortable from the start, made of good sturdy leather, true steel shank for a great solid platform, indestructible seam stitching, and a sole that seemed imposible to wear out. That was a great wookboot until they changed things. Later models felt more like a tennis shoe.to soft; wore out fast, and very little support therefore tried a different style. Went with the endurance pro, an ok shoe. Comfortable but still lacking that good solid feel, inner sole started seperatingafter about 3 months. I bet most people will give up a little in weight savings for a good solid feeling platform. Next to the helix pro, pretty much a waste of my time and money. They are way too soft, offer no support or stability and the quality is way lacking. About the same quality as the local giant retail chains sale items. You guys at timberland once made the best work shoes out there. Now….not..hope you change it around.

PRO® Pit Boss 6-Inch Steel Toe Boots – Comfortable For Work

Shoes Bot — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 19:19:32 +0000

Featured Review: (by Justin M.), I wear my Timberland Pitboss boots 12+ hours out of the day and I am not impressed. Timberland’s Powerwelt 6 Inch Steel Toe boots are what turned me on to this brand of boot. Transitioning from the Powerwelts to the Pitboss was hard. The Powerwelts were the “Cadillac of All Boots” in my eyes. They were the best boot I’ve ever owned. So, I figured, being a Timberland product, the Pitboss would be on that level. I was wrong. I’ve began to get callus’ on parts of my foot I’ve never gotten before even though I purchased the same size and width as the Powerwelts. The break in period seemed to be months longer than the Powerwelts. I found my ankle rubbed raw after the first 2 weeks of owning them. They were so stiff that it hurt to wear them. After just months of ownership, the right one squeaks, on any surface(It sounds like rubber with in the sole delaminated itself and is rubbing against itself). The Pitboss Boots make my feet sweat alot. I feel as though there is no where near enough breathe ability. I end up wringing my socks out daily(which my girlfriend does not find funny I might add). They do protect me from puddles and mud.(Only my left boot does now, a piece of slag landed on my toe and rolled towards my ankle and burned a hole in the fabric part of the boot.) The right one started squeak a week before the incident. Anyways, they keep my feet warm, and don’t look bad. Needless to say, I will never be buying or recommending this model of Timberland boots. The pain and discomfort outweigh the positives about them.

PRO® TiTAN® High Hiker Boots – Ultimate Comfort

Shoes Bot — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 19:23:26 +0000

Featured Review: (by Anonymous), These boots have all the makings of a perfect workboot, but somehow they cause near unbearable pain in my feet, even while using my custom Podiatrist-made inserts. I’ve tried these, regretably too long, I may be just beyond the warranty-return cutoff, but I’ll call and beg anyway to hopefully switch to something else. The foot pain started in the first week, and I kept thinking that my feet would adapt, but no… just pain. My shoe size is 13 medium, and these feel like a 13 wide, which may be the cause of most of this trouble. Looking at them, they are perfect, with lots of cool technology built in. But: The really cool looking, smooth pulling, lace eyelets cause heavy pressure on the tops of my foot, so that they feel bruised, even many hours after I remove the boots. The nice looking quick release eyelets at the top don’t work. They don’t allow the shoestring to exit, and they just bind and stop the shoestring from sliding through while trying to doff. They feel a bit heavy, but the weight is due to the medium-dense soles. The previous Timberland Pro’s I tried had nice soft soles, but they proved too-soft, broke down badly in 3 months, and are now discontinued. Even looking at these on my feet at this moment, I don’t understand why they are not a near perfect boot, but… Pain is very persuasive… I just ordered some “Bates® 5″ Ultra Lites™ Composite Toes”, because I’m in desperate need of less foot pain.

PRO® 8-Inch Soft Toe Boots – 400g Thinsulate insulation

Shoes Bot — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 19:05:27 +0000

Featured Review: (by Bobster), I bought these about 3 years ago and wear them to work, alternating with another pair of non-Timberland boots. Price was right because they were blems (lace hole rivets needed to be touched up with a file). The soles wore through after a year or so exposing a “foam” inside the rubber but they were still wearable. The padded area at the heels also wore through inside. Just recently, the leather at the toe of one of the boots came detached from the sole so it is time for a new pair of boots. I think I’m going to go back to the good ol’ 12281 (nubuck, non-insulated, 8″) of which I’ve had 4-5 pairs and get 4-5 years out of them…

PRO TiTAN® Waterproof 6 Inch Boots with Safety Toe

Shoes Bot — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 19:25:39 +0000

Featured Review: (by Tackett), I work as an electrician and on my feet all day everyday, up and down stairs, ladders, attics, crawlspaces, ditch digging, you name it I do it. These were awesome in the store, felt better than the sneakers I had on. The titan safety toe is much roomier than the standard pro series steel toe that I can’t even wear, even in a wide width, this boot fits perfect. They broke in fast and painless, All day comfort all the time. CONS: The sole is soft – and for digging – sucks, cause its painful to stomp a shovel when you can feel the edge through the boot. Also I’ve only had them four months and the sole on both boots is cracked halfway across and all the way through – for $110 – After only four months – that really sucks. My other boots that lasted longer and looked better at the end. The good with the bad critique is that the leather upper is really soft leather – yes super comfortable and easy to break in, but on your knees in crawlspaces and other such work the toes wear through in no time. For the money the comfort is outstanding. For the money the durability sucks not for nothing but the cracking sole issue. I also had that in other pro series boots, with steel toes and without – tan, brown, and black boots, This is a really disheartening issue, it makes it hard to find a reason to buy timberland boots when i already know the outcome. The soles just dont last for the money, simply substandard.
