Horrible. Terrible. I have been wearing Timberland boots exclusively for the past 30 years, and these are hands down the most uncomfortable boots I have ever owned. They rub the outside of my ankle in such a way that it becomes painful. I have to tie them so loose just to make these dang things bearable that I then have no support.

I work 10+ hours, five days a week. Wearing these ridiculous boots for that duration of time has become a test of both my pain threshold and sanity. I've had them just a few months, and I'm already planning on throwing them out and buying something else. What a waste of money. Timberland, your quality has gone to hell in the past 10 years, and I'm disappointed.

I'm an electrician and VERY hard on boots. Very comfortable, but I added the timberland pro insoles before I wore them. They were only stiff a couple days but never hurt my feet. I wear them 12+ hours a day and love them so far 1 month in. I also immediately waterproofed them even though they were waterproof. I have had them almost buried in mud and had them over the toe in water a few times and never got wet. The only negative thing so far is the shoelaces are hard to pull right on the bottom half, so they end up loosening on the quick laces (which are awesomely sturdy!) and now the shoelaces are showing wear... UPDATE I called timberland and they are mailing me a replacement pair of laces no charge

I need to buy work boots yearly for my job. I bought these same boots last year (Oct 2015) and they fit perfectly. They wore so well I bought them again this year. I even looked up my past order and used the same link to make ordering again easy.

Unfortunately I am in the process of returning this years boots because the toe area in the left shoe is significantly narrower than the right, rubbing my toes.

In the group picture, last years shoes are on the right & the new ones are on the left. The second picture shows a close up of this years shoe. The left shoe (the one on the right in the pic) is the narrow one. It's harder to tell in the picture, but it is SIGNIFICANTLY more narrow. I double checked the inner tags and they are labeled the same size 12M.

I haven't decided if I'm going to order a replacement pair or go to a brick & mortar store to find boots. Maybe it's just a one time defect that slipped through quality control?

This is an awesome WORK boot. They are incredibly well constructed, and you can tell that they are going to last a long time. The fit is exactly as expected, and are comfortable enough. If there was any improvement I would make, is to purchase the upgraded Timberland insoles. Those increased the comfort by a large margin over the insoles that came with the boot.

A side note about people complaining about build quality. These are Timberland's Pro line, and aren't FINISHED to the same standard as their fashion line. That does NOT mean that they are of poor quality, exactly the opposide, it just means that they were never intended to look as perfect as the more fashionable line of Timberlands. If you are buying these as a fashion statement, buy the more expensive, non-Pro model if that means a lot to you.

These are almost a 1/2" more narrow than the exact same pair i ordered 9 months ago.
I looked at the label inside and they are made in different countries.
I had to return the pair I received a few days before because one shoe was smaller than the other.
Poor quality control from Timberland.
These used to be my go-to work shoes, but not any more after two consecutively botched orders.
