TimberlandMen's Flume Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot, Black, 8Leather Working Group

This is my second pair of Timberland boots and I am never disappointed in the quality and comfort that they provide. My wife thought I was crazy buying these new boots for a 26 mile canyon hiking/camp trip without breaking them in first. I will attest that NOT only did these boots feel like they were made for my feet right out of the box without my orthopedic inserts but I didn't have a single blister or sore spot. I wont buy another brand of boot again. Thanks Timberland !!

Boots never delivered to us. But I will give it a 5 stars because there are Great Boots my husband wont used other kind.He always gets it in a local store but they didn’t had it on stock in his size so i said ill check where can we get it faster because he needed asap. Regardless of it being delivered to another address it has nothing to do with how great quality they are.

Fits as expected. Been wearing Timberland hiking boots as my "general" waterproof boots for years now, these are the same as always. One thing about this model in particular, I chose it because as you can see in the photos, the rear of the ankle support cuts down lower than standard boots that just have a circular ring of cushion around the ankle. I wanted this feature in particular, because on the standard boots your ankles can get really hot from this extra cushion. On this boot, having the ankle support cut down like this gives you some "breathing room" and makes your feet slightly cooler. This is significant if you plan to wear them in hot climates, for example on my trip through Mexico. It makes a difference, and does not compromise the functionality of the boots. For trekking around sites like Teotihuacan these boots are pretty perfect. For walking in the city, the arch support is a little lacking and my flat feet start to get sore after a few days of heavy pavement walking. Overall though I am pretty satisfied with these and they are holding up just fine.

Held up well, soles are wearing ok, uppers are good, original laces, sole+upper joint have not separated & are watertight.These boots are worn as casual footwear, around the house, hiking, yardwork, cutting firewood, working on the car, hunting the 'back 40', etc.Very comfortable. They still look good and do not look beat up at all even though I don't worry about what happens to them in the mud & rocks.I initially thought I should have bought a half size larger, but kept them anyway and I really like the fit. Perhaps just a smidge short in the toe, but it really could go either way.I would definitely buy again.

I recently purchased this boot and since it was the first time I had puchased a Timberland boot I was a bit unsure of the correct size. I can comfortably wear a US 11 Teva boot or shoe but only a US 10.5 in their sandals. I have a fairly wide foot and always get the EE fitting and stick to wide brands such as New Balance in runners. I tried Keen boots but found the US 11 too tight with thick socks and had to go to the US 11.5 but I found the Keen's to be very thickly padded which may be great for cold climates but I live in Australia and only occasionally hike in the cold or snow when I go to North America. I also read many stories of Keen boots coming unstitched, soles splitting and soles separating from the shoe. The Timberland Flume certainly appears to be well bonded and has held up so far to fairly basic walks but the main thing is it feels comfortable in thicker socks, it's not overly padded and in the US 11 EE size it fits perfectly for me. They are currently made in Vietnam like many items of footware but this is why you can buy them so cheap. I have read that some people have had the lace grommets come out but this is a simple repair at a reputable shoe or boot repairer although it will cause you problems if it happens in the middle of the hike. The boot is also very lite for a leather boot and in my opinion should suit my style and location of hiking better than the nylon and gortex lined boots which I find to be very hot. I will add an update after some winter hikes I have planned in a weeks time.

The boots look great and fit well. I have done some light hiking in them and there were comfortable even after 5 miles. They are also easy to clean up.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Is my second pair of boot, the first ones, I still use them, they are so worn, but still in one piece. Wonderfully boots

I bought directly from Amazon.These are very comfortable but they don't match the photos. From a functional point of view, I would rate these 5 stars. They kept my feet warm and dry during the 7+ hours of snow shoveling during the Jonas storm. I am a size 10.5 and the actual fit is true (I did not have to buy a larger size).I am disappointed by a few things. I bought the "Dark Brown" version but the color of the rubber part clearly doesn't match Amazon's photo. Amazon shows the rubber part as nicely matching the color of the top leather. It doesn't. As my photos show, the rubber part is actually tan colored. If you're buying the dark brown version for the appearance, you will be in for a surprise. The black version is more expensive, but maybe Timberland did a better job matching the color of the leather to the rubber. If I hadn't ordered t his right before the snow storm, I would have returned it. The color difference between the top and bottom doesn't look stylish. The tan colored rubber bottom just cheapens the appearance.Also, after only one use of these shoes in the snow (about 1.5 hours), there was discoloration of the leather. This was very surprising as I hadn't gotten any salt or anything on them. I'll need to find a polish kit or something to fix that.
