00:00 Timberland Boots Review Introduction

Timberland offers some of the world’s most popular casual boots. But, with their popularity, it raises the question: Are they really worth it?

00:09 History of Timberland

Timberland’s history begins in 1952; when its Founder Nathan Swartz bought a 50% stake in a company then known as the Abington Shoe Company.

These boots originally were widely adopted by factory & construction workers as a working class boot. But Swartz thought the sleek styling would appeal to higher-end clientele as a fashion staple in the luxury space.

01:57 Timberland Ethos

Timberland markets itself as a tough and dependable brand that makes hard-wearing boots
With an outdoorsy appeal but an urban enough design that they won’t look out of place when not worn hiking. They’re more often known for their stylish looks nowadays than their actual practicality. Meaning that they’re closer to a fashion boot than their working boots origins.

03:55 Boot Lines: 1. Premium 6-Inch Waterproof
05:03 2. Atwell’s Ave
05:15 3. Redwood

Timberland also features more true hiking and field boots. But these are more utilitarian in design and not made with the purposes we usually focus on for the Gentleman’s Gazette.

05:36 Our Review

We are reviewing the Timberland Premium 6-Inch Waterproof Boot in classic Wheat Nubuck. It features microfiber PrimaLoft Insulation, a molded foam footbed to reduce shock and improve comfort and is made from “premium Timberland leather”.

08:57 Conclusion

At $210, there are brands in similar price points that offer a goodyear welted, or blake stitched, product. Timberland does have a signature boot style that no one else quite does as well. They’re probably not the most optimal choice for hiking or true workwear. They’ve also stood the test of time for 50+ years, being a style still popular today. Meaning, that they do have a timeless appeal for their intended purpose.
