Timberland Mens Earthkeepers City Lite Chukka

It has been a solid 6 months since I bought these shoes and I would say these are one of the best shoes I have ever bought. SIZE: WARNING, these shoes run big, extremely big. I normally wear a size 10 1/2 to 11 in every other brand but these shoes came out to be way too large at 10. A solid 2 inches from my toes to the point of the shoe. Despite this, I am still able to wear these shoes, and walk in them normally without them falling off. Another warning, despite being too large, they were too long, not too Wide, I ordered the M shoes, and fit fine on the sides. I normally order regular width with any other pair of shoes. COMFORT: These shoes are extremely comfortable, I tend to buy an extra gel pad for shoes, regardless of brand because it just makes the shoe so much more comfortable, but in this case i found that it wasn't needed. These shoes are very comfortable, I have walked in these shoes for hours and my feet don't begin to hurt. Standing around in them is very comfortable and they also provide some arc support, but not noticeably. LOOK: They are not a very shiny shoe but they do look very good. I tend to wear a lot of leather shoes, normally all black and i can say for a boot like shoe, these Chukkas look great. They look like pretty casual shoes, that I can wear to work, class, or go out with as long as it isn't too formal. I have received many compliments for the shoes, but I would have to say, they are bit formal. They aren't shoes you should be wearing in shorts or something along those lines. FUNCTION: These are my dedicated shoes for the winter. I currently live in Wisconsin, so it gets pretty cold up here. These shoes are pretty warm despite how thin they seem, as long as I'm wearing thick socks My feet tend to do fine in below freezing temperatures. As for the snow, these shoes are waterproof like advertised. I can walk right through a few inches of snow with no problem. Although it's worth mentioning that if the snow is too tall it will obviously come in over the top and wet the inside of the shoe. As for the bottom of the shoe, the sole seems to be holding up despite my constant walking ( I walk A LOT) through snow and on pavement. The non-Slip is one of the AMAZING things about these chukkas. I have literally seen other people slip on ice in front of me as I walked right over it and seemed to have perfect grip on the ice. These shoes have great grip and non-slip features, I have yet to fall on ice and this is my first time walking through it in a long time. SUMMARY: These shoes are pretty great. They look good for almost every situation, super comfortable, really functional, and are long lasting. Only a few cons to this shoe, They run very BIG so i would suggest ordering a FULL size smaller. Another con would be how the tip of the shoe can get scratches, about a month a go I had tripped and fallen with these shoes and the tips had gotten scratched, it look like scratches leather, but from a far it isn't noticeable. I'm not complaining much because i believe any shoe would have gotten scratched worse or even broken due to that. I SERIOUSLY recommend buying these shoes for casually wearing in the winter. well done timberland.

I've purchased both the black and brown version of this boot. In fact, I just bought the black version again, something I NEVER do. I bought the first pair in early November of 2015 (for a bit less than I paid this time). That is less than 2 years, which might not seem like much time for a pair of shoes to need to be replaced, but I would say I have worn these black boots about 75% of the time, even through summer. I'm certainly not going to throw the old ones out, but they've gotten to the point where it's time for a refresh. The waterproofing still works great, and they'll be fine for the messier winter days ahead. I don't wear the brown much, but I'd expect them to wear the same. The brown version is almost a suede, and seems to scratch fairly easily, but most light ones rub/buff out. Both colors required no break-in, and were very comfortable from the start. As others have mentioned, the black is more of a matte finish, and the toe is just a bit long. However, I should mention that the 11(M) fits very true to size (the foot fits fine in the shoe, and you easily adapt to the extra room). Both colors blur the line between casual and dress ....I wouldn't wear either with a suit, but would with a nice sweater and pants ...I also wear them with a t-shirt and jeans. I own a couple pairs of Allen Edmonds and Danner shoes/boots that can have the soles replaced, and are worth the investment to have them refurbished. Then, I have several other pairs that fall into the "throwaway" category. Because of the way they're built, these chukkas fall into the latter. That said, I feel I definitely got my money's worth.

I'm on my third pair of these boots. I wear them everyday and I figured maybe I should write a review for anyone contemplating buying some. First of all, I love how these boots look. They're very versatile because they straddle a formal and informal style. I can wear them out or to work, and I really appreciate that. I've gotten quite a few compliments on them over the years. I also appreciate that they're pretty lightweight and only have two lace-holes, so they slip on and off quite easily. For a boot and in an everyday shoe the ease of slipping them on and off is really nice. Second, they are waterproof, although not permanently and by no means completely. In downpours my feet do get wet, but for mild showers, sprinkles and puddles they do the trick. Again, points for versatility. Expect the waterproofing to come off over time though; I'd recommend applying a leather conditioner to re-proof them after a few months, depending on usage. I use a clean wet rag and then Otter Wax Leather Salve, which maintains their water repellency and the color of the leather. Third, these are city boots, not hiking boots. I'd wear them around town and to work or school. I've worn them hiking many times, but you'd be better off getting a real pair of hiking boots (Merrells or something) if you're planning on going outdoors often or backpacking. Fourth, unfortunately, they will not last forever. Each pair of mine last about a year before I wear a hole through the sole at the ball of my feet. I'd appreciate greater durability in the sole--but for shoes I wear everyday (and I walk quite a lot) I'm not sure I can expect much more of the rubber. It doesn't take long for the traction to go as the sole is worn down as well. I've had my current pair for about a year and the stitching is beginning to come undone. Also, the leather of the shoe of your dominant foot will wrinkle and show more wear than the other. In my first pair I thought this was a manufacturing defect, and I wish it weren't the case, but I guess it's inevitable. Fifth, yes, they run large, like all Timberlands. I wear an 8.5 in these boots, even though my normal shoe size is 10 in sneakers. Go figure. Use the European sizing instead; it's more consistent across brands. I think Timberland discontinued this style in their stores a year or two ago, which is a shame, so I don't know for much longer they'll be available online--but I've put mine on every day for the last three years and I'll keep wearing them as long as they're around.

J'ai ces chaussures depuis 4 ans à présent. Elles ont encore bonne allure. C'est "vrai que ces chaussures ont une taille "américaine" (Je chausse du 41 et demie avec eux et du 43 1/3 chez Salomon par exemple. J'avais initialement commandé du 41 et on me les a échangé tout de suite, sans problème. Ces chaussures me vont toujours, je vais en racheter une paire chez eux après une quadruple fracture du pied cet été. Pour la petite histoire, ma podologue les considère également comme "une très bonne marque". Je vous la conseille.

La verdad me gustaron mucho estas botas. Han sido de las mejores compras que he hecho en amazon. Yo esperaba algo un poco más ajustado, pero están muy padres. Son versátiles para un día casual o para alguna ocasión más formal. Muy cómodas y son resistentes al agua (y vaya que ya las usé en una tormenta). No dudes en comprarlas :D

Es sind meine ersten Timberlands und ich war gleich angetan von ihrem Erscheinungsbild. Das Material macht einen hochwertigen Eindruck und der Tragekomfort ist klasse. Für mich sind es recht zeitlose, schicke Stadtschuhe mit Qualitäten den nassen Winter zu meistern. Wie gut sie sich jedoch im Dauertest schlagen werden, wird die Zeit zeigen.

Great product with excellent build quality. It is water-resistant and very comfortable. Been using it for over a month. No problems so far.

Excellent fitting. Excellent shoes from Timberland. This is one of the best pair of shoes I had. The price I bought it was very good as well.
