Timberland Men's White Ledge Mid Waterproof Ankle Boot

I needed a pair of hiking boots to replace the Keene boots that were only 1 1/2 yrs old but not only lost their waterproofing in the first six months but had a weed stalk in the field go right through the side and almost break my skin. This was the second pair of Keene’s that had gone bad in just over a year and, at $130 I was getting tired of replacing them.Started looking at reviews and found these. They have a large toe box with plenty of room. Before I took them out I took another reviewers advice and put a coating of Mink Oil on them. They were comfortable but I knew they’d take a little break in. I now have about three or four miles of walking through the fields and surprisingly they seem to be breaking in rather quickly. I usually put on about 500-700 miles a year.One note, if you’re looking for hiking boots that will give you really good ankle support these ARE NOT for you, look elsewhere. These are for easy hiking, fields and roadway. When I got them I first put in a pair of Dr. Scholls and that went a long way toward making them immediately comfortable.If I remember I’ll give an update in three or four months.UPDATE: Jan. 6, 2018 - I’ve now had a chance to wear these for a while including the recent snow storm and frigid temps (at least for us). We got 5” of snow, temps this morning, when I took the dog out, we’re 4 or 5 degrees with a windchill of -8. I had been wearing wool socks with these and my feet have stayed warm and dry on a 25 to 35 min. walk through the fields. This time, with the snow and frigid windchill I decided to try just summer cotton socks. Bear in mind I’m a 70 year old with diabetes, which does affect circulation, so I’m pretty sensitive to cold and heat and the comfort of my foot wear. (I walk approximately 3 miles a day with my dog, even in the snow and cold unless it’s too much for her.) So, the results of a 20 minute walk were still warm and dry feet. I could have gone much further but Harley was getting snow turning to ice between her toes every few minutes and we’d have to stop and I’d have to remove it.Bottom line: When I received these boots I put in my Dr. Scholls insoles from my previous pair, rubbed in three coats of mink oil on dry days (which I think was key to waterproofing) and started walking. I’ve found them to be far more comfortable than the Keen’s I was previously wearing. I don’t walk as much as a lot of people, about 25 miles a week, but they’re doing well for me for field and neighborhood walking.2/9/18: I like to keep folks updated on important stuff: If you want a pair of boots to wear, every day, and forget when you take them off, look elsewhere. Because these are leather they require a LOT of care. If they get soaking wet do NOT continue to wear them the next day, you’ll ruin them. I’ve found that when mine get soaked from walking in the pouring rain, in the field with my dog, I wipe them clean with an old towel, put shoe trees in them to keep the leather from shrinking and set them aside where there’s a flow of air to let them air dry. Do not try and force dry them with hot air, you’ll ruin the leather. Putting them a few feet away from a fan seems to work okay or just let them sit. While they’re drying I use an old pair that I kept. After they have dried completely I retreat every inch of leather, paying particular attention to seams and around grommets, with mink oil, let it sit and dry then retreat again.Is the above a pain? Yes it is but these appear to be quality boots and you need to take care of them, not let them get muddy and wet and toss them in the corner for the next day.Update: 11/12/18 I’ve now had these boots a year and for the money they were a good buy but I’ll repeat a couple of points I made previously.1. They are not, in any way, shape or form waterproof.2. If you get them soaked do NOT simply take them off and leave them in a dark hallway. If you do they’ll be ruined. Put them on a towel in front of a fan blowing room temperature air on them. Do not, under any circumstances, place them on a heated surface or someplace where hot air blows on them, you’ll ruin the leather.3. Once completely dry polish your boots. This is how I do it: I put a match to the polish (in the can) and let it flame and liquify, then take a rag and dip it into the liquid polish and rub it into the leather. Then I take a clean cloth and further rub the polish in and finally use a brush to buff the polish to a shine. Yes, it takes time and effort but if you wear leather hiking boots and walk through wet fields you should take the time to take care of the leather.In wet weather I don’t wear these two days in a row. If you’re looking for that type of boot you’re also looking at three times the price.

I have an old & new pair of identical style/size boots. The 5 year old pair were and still are very comfortable all day on concrete floor, no break-in required.Except for a couple of quick-lace eyelet failures, the old pair have stayed together & decently waterproof. They were made in Vietnam.The new pair, again same size & style were made in China. After wearing less than an hour the inside of by heels began to burn and on the way to blistering. I compared dial caliper measurements of the heel width & found the Chinese model heel 1/8" more narrow than the old pair & explains a correspondingly smaller upper.Outsourcing to the cheapest manufacturer isn't always the best option if you want to maintain your reputation. If I wanted cheap, there's a wally world on every corner, same boot at half price, minus the label. But hey, they cut that corner too, no Timberland embroidery stitching in the tongue! Anything to save a buck! Disappointed...

I want to preface this review by saying I do not usually review items unless I am extremely impressed either positively or negatively. For the Timberland White Ledge boots the feeling is the latter. These boots might be ok for a casual hike or two but CAN NOT hold up to daily repetitive use. I purchased these boots on Nov 8th 2017 for daily use at work, I am on my feet 8 hours a day walking and interacting with customers and wanted something a little more supportive than "running shoes" In that area these boots are great, comfortable, supportive and my feet were not sore or tired at the end of a day.But after less than 2 weeks of use the front toe area where the leather upper meets the thicker rubber part of the sole started to separate. Within 4 weeks the boots were completely unusable due to the worsening of the separation. Thinking I might have gotten a pair with weak glue, I purchased another pair but after 2 weeks the new pair is also doing the same. This is happening on both feet with daily use, just walking, I am not in construction or hiking on rough rocks yet the toe area can not stay together.I have heard Timberland has a 1-year warranty if the boots fail during normal use but considering this has happened to two pairs both within a month of daily use I would not recommend unless you potentially want to be replacing your boots every month.

Very nice boot, seemingly well made and tough. I added an aftermarket padded insole and was immediately able to walk over 7 miles, three days in a row without a break-in period.HOWEVER, after just my fourth day of wearing these boots one of the riveted eyelets on the left boot broke and came out of the leather hole, so now I have to take it to shoe repair to get fixed (hopefully). If they can't fix it reasonably I'm sending them back.A shame because these are very comfortable boots. I should not have to pay for a repair because of shoddy craftsmanship.I'll revise the review as this issue progresses.

I have blown more money over my lifetime buying into the Timberland product line, always with the anticipation the newest and greatest model would make up for the inadequacies of the one I recently purchased.... I believe I am at the point of fool you once... fool is you Twice this time around....I purchased these shoes this summer and complained within two weeks about the eyehole of the boot coming loose; and didn't ever hear from the company or anyone representing the product. These shoes have been worn minimally but even after I reinserted the eye hole and tried to avoid any strain while tying them, they continue to be a problem. This is now my 22nd pair, but first in the last 15 years; and it is very disappointing to see the same old quality issues plague the company; and I have come to expect the quality of Lowa and Merrell; which this company is unable to emulate. I've attached a picture for you to review and allow you to form your own opinions....

As this is advertised as a wide shoe, I expected it to fit easily with a bit of room to spare out of the box (I ordered a shoe half a size bigger than I normally buy for anything else as I will be doing lots of long walks in them). When i tried the shoe on, my foot only just fit and after walking 6 miles, I had issues, my feet were hurting a lot. I had to replace the shoes and miss out the second set of eyes to get them comfortable. They are fine with the relacing and are very comfortable, but beware, they are not true to size at all, I should have gone for a full size bigger.

Timberland have always been the front runner in footwear (see what I did there?) These are no exception. Fit like you had gloves on your feet. Comfort and warm toes all in the same place. Even in the snow (Tested' and they passed) Waterproof and deceivingly light in weight! About as heavy as Nike Airs' True Story' Smart as' If they're to be used for night's down the pub, in your chinos or combats! I got them for the English weather and dog walking... I love them! A wipe and they are clean (Not that I go around jumping in puddles like a loop case) Just the splashes and such that I have had on them, came straight off with a wipe 'Juan Sheet' They are a 'Proper Tidy Bit of Kit' Don't take my word for it, I'm off me swede mate lol Looking good in my boots though!

Unos PÉSIMOS Zapatos, de terrible calidad, compre este par de botas Timberland esperando recibir articulo de calidad y/o nuevos, pero creo que ni una ni otra. Totalmente DECEPCIONADO de este modelo en específico y de la marca en general.No se aprecia totalmente en las fotos, pero las botas llegaron y parecían que tenían semanas o hasta meses de uso, por lo que el material con los que están elaborados son de pésima calidad que se rallan con la mas mínima facilidad o bien este par de botas ya habían sido utilizadas anteriormente y no fui al único que le dio esa clara impresión de uso/desgaste.Tengo una botas Jeep desde hace 4 años y unas Caterpillar recientemente y ninguna de las 2 presentó este tipo de problemas, por lo que pueden ahorrar y comprarse unas Jeep que son más económicas o invertir un poco más y mejor en unas Caterpillar.En conclusión y definitiva NO gasten inútilmente este modelo o similares a estas !!!

Great to find a replacement pair of identical boots for my much loved Timberlands. Really comfortable and durable. And really fast service from the the USA. Recommend +++

These are great boots. I don't use them for climbing or trekking, just to walk to work when the weather is bad (e.g. frosty). Don't know how they would fare if used for trekking. They look great, fit great and the Timberland logo gives it that quality image.

Comfortable from the start but gave me a blister on my left heal & two blisters on my right small toes so can't use them at the moment

I have had several pairs of these now I find that they last a long time and have been good to me. They fit well and look good too

Great quality, great value, great product. Walked miles and miles in them already. Although they are walking boots, they are actually fashionable enough to wear to work or for going out - especially when you've got a lot of walking. They saved my feet during a recent trip to New York where walked a marathon in 5 days...

I purchased these to wear to go beach fishing which is often at night in the winter on shingle beach. Boots are warm and comfortable and give adequate support.

Mis botas llegaron hoy (28/02/18), mucho antes de lo esperado. Eso, desde luego, habla bien de Amazon y los vendedores, incluso del servicio de paquetería, pero no dicen nada de la calidad de las botas. Sobre éstas, tengo que decir que son el segundo par que compro de la marca. Las primeras me dejaron muy satisfecho, pero después de siete años, ha llegado el momento de cambiarlas. La diferencia es que mis primeras botas Timberland tenían membrana gore-tex y estas no. Habrá que probarlas bajo la lluvia para evaluarlas. Sin embargo se sienten cómodas y fiables. Habría que decir que el asunto de las tallas induce a confusión, toda vez que nunca entendí la diferencia entre las que indican "2e" y las que indican "d (m)". Por ser un poco menos caras, escogí las que indicaban "d (m)", con algún temor. Al final, me ajustaron perfectas. Timberland hace buenos productos.

Nice quality.Expensive, though.

Excelente compra, hace mucho quería esta marca pero no había encontrado tan buena oferta, viene en su empaque original todo muy bien y el número que pedí es justo como lo deseaba, me quedaron excelente es mi primera puesta y son muy pero muy comodas, me comprare otras de otro color

Robust and comforatble

Boots good but too narrow it didn't state if they were wide or narrow but number on my existing boots matched and they are wide fitting so more accurate description is needed

Sole came away after 5 months!
