I've worn these boots since 2007, finally ordering a 4th pair. First pair I received from a Timberland sponsored community service project.
These are very comfortable boots to wear 10+hrs on concrete floors, outdoors etc. The leather holds up very well and is very supple unlike some red wing boots and anecdotally 10x more comfortable than redwings as those are the standard to which every safety toe work boot is compared.
They do seemingly loosen up a bit too much after a year but replacing the insole and wearing wool boot socks alleviates this issue. Most pairs I've owned have lasted 2-3 years of 50+ hrs/wk with the first pair lasting about 5 years (less use).
They are heavy boots, when compared with much of what is available, and the first thing anyone who picks them up comments on but the comfort and stability these provide is unmatched by any other safety toe boot I have tried.
The primary failure point that I've had with ALL of these boots are the laces, the eyelets cut through laces fast. Even polyamide (kevlar) laces don't last and I've tried various "unbreakable" laces. Polyamide is the only thing that lasts more than 6mo on these boots. The true death knoll for these boots always seems to be the sole splits/tears off near the toe/side of the toe. The soles are sewn into the leather of the boot but it's just not enough and tears through eventually. If Timberland could do anything to improve the eyelets and reinforce the sole to boot attachment these would probably last 5 years as you don't abuse your boots.
That being said, since the soles are rather heavy and the failure point is the sole separating, people who like to kick heavy objects (pallets, boards, whatever) to move them around will ruin these boots quickly. Especially if you use the toe of the sole. Puts a ton of stress on the attachment and will tear the sole off. I am not saying they can't stand abuse but doing this is from my experience what causes them to fail. If I didn't kick anything with them they would likely last twice as long.
TL;DR these are great boots that are comfortable and last quite long for hardworking/abused work boots. Laces tend to break/get cut more often and the soles eventually tear away near the toe after 2-3 years (for me).

Hard work, innovation, and a love of the great outdoors are all big parts of the Timberland story. They have been since the very beginning.
In 1973 our original waterproof boots called the “Timberland” were invented. They were rugged, well-crafted, and—thanks to an innovative injection molding technique which was new to the footwear industry—they withstood the elements. These premium “yellow” boots set new standards for waterproof performance in the footwear industry. They became equally popular with outdoor enthusiasts who needed protection in all conditions, professional trade workers who needed rugged dependable gear, and many others who just wanted a great looking pair of boots. These boots defined our brand. They were so groundbreaking that in 1978 we renamed the entire company.
Timberland’s heritage of hard work, innovation, and love of nature continues. We are here to inspire and equip the world to step outside, work together and make it better. Today, we find the outdoors everywhere, from right outside our doors to places far beyond. We find it in cities, suburbs, and the countryside. It’s where we work, play and connect to one another. That’s why we are on a mission to make our brand and company a force for positive change.

Very comfortable shoes, highly recommended
I was very touched that I finally bought suitable boots. I bought four pairs of boots from this brand. The first few pairs were not suitable. The ones that fit the size were too tight, and the larger ones hurt my feet. Only this pair of boots is the most suitable. , heavy, sturdy, comfortable, waterproof, and looks cuteBuying shoes online is very risky, because they must be suitable and comfortable. I have changed 4 pairs of shoes before and after, and this pair is the most expensive and the best.
