From the Job Site to the Streets

In 1973, Nathan Swartz changed the game with the first waterproof leather boot. Using injection molding technology, he fused the sole to the leather without stitching, making the boots perfect for the tough New England weather. The 8-inch boot was a hit, but it was the 6-inch "Wheat Nubuck" model that became legendary.

What started as a favorite for construction workers quickly made its way to fashion hotspots worldwide. By the '90s, hip-hop icons like Tupac, Biggie, and members of the Wu-Tang Clan made Timberlands a street style essential. While collabs with brands like Veneda Carter, Stüssy, Supreme and Jimmy Choo have kept them relevant in fashion, Timberlands have never lacked in maintaining their high-quality standard.

What Makes Timberland Boots So Popular?

Timberland boots are so popular for their perfect balance of rugged durability and all-day comfort, not to mention the cultural impact of their status as a style staple for streetwear.

Waterproof Ready

Timberland's seam-sealed construction creates a watertight barrier, while the premium leather repels water. This feature allows confident movement in unpredictable weather conditions. Whether you're hiking through muddy terrain or walking through slushy city streets, you can move confidently without worrying about wet feet.

Long Lasting Comfort

Designed for all-day comfort, the specially engineered footbed absorbs shock and returns energy with each step. This supports the foot's natural contours, reducing fatigue during prolonged wear. Whether you're working or exploring, feet stay comfortable for extended periods.

FAQs

How to Clean Timberland Boots? Are Timbs Waterproof?

Use a buffing bar and nylon brush to remove dirt and stains. Then apply foaming cleanser to a dry cloth to clean the entire boot. Let them dry naturally out of sunlight. Once completely dry, use the nylon brush to refresh the nap. Timberland boots are indeed waterproof, thanks to their seam-sealed construction and premium leather. Keep up with regular shoe cleaning supplies and waterproofing treatments to ensure they stay water-resistant.

Do Timberland Boots Run Big?

Timberland boots generally run true to size but can feel a bit roomy. This is intentional to allow for thick socks. We recommend going a half size down from your normal size. So if you're usually a size 11, order a size 10.5. To ensure a good fit, check out our Timberland Footwear Sizing Guide before you buy.

What's the difference between 6-inch and 8-inch Timberland boots?

The main difference is ankle support and coverage. The 6-inch boots offer more flexibility and are easier to wear casually, while the 8-inch boots provide superior ankle support and protection, making them ideal for work environments or rugged outdoor activities.
