Timberland Men's Mt. Washington City Chelsea Boot

I saw very similar boots at Nordstrom the other day, but couldn't find the right combination of size and color. Checked on Amazon and not only did they have multiple options, but they also had widths! I have a wider foot so I ordered the W version. I'm a 10E and the 10W fit me perfectly. When I tried on the ones at Nordstrom, I had to go to a 10.5 to get the width right (in the Medium), but then my heel was slipping up. With the W, my heel fits nicely and the width is perfect. Oh, and Amazon's price was better than Zappos or Nordstrom. I'm happy with the soles. I bought these as a casual winter boot that I can wear to work and still wear in the snow on weekends. The soles seem sufficiently grippy without looking like work boots. When I've tried other boots like this before, I've found the tops sometimes dig into my lower calf. Not these. The construction, with the elastic side goring and nicely finished top, makes them very comfy. If anything, the finish out of the box is a little more matte than in the picture online. I polish my shoes all the time, so they'll probably get a little shinier over time. If you like the weathered, beaten look, I suspect they would scuff up nicely. The tough pull tabs front and back make putting them on easy. If I have any complaint, it is that they didn't put much of a "shelf" on the top of the sole at the heel. This means I probably need to use my hands, rather than the other boot, to take them off.

I bought these boots after seeing them online at Amazon.com. They seemed like a good, everyday 3-season boot, sturdy enough for outdoor use and good looking enough for city walking...and they are. The uppers are well crafted, the elastic goring substantial, and the soles utilitarian. I wore these boots (right out of the box) over a four day weekend in Chicago and I found them comfortable and good looking (no break-in time required). They are not dress boots, but they do look good enough with jeans and a sportcoat. Overall, I felt the quality of workmanship was good, the price was good, and the fit and feel were good. I would recommend these as a casual, sturdy boot with some style.

We ordered these boots for my husband to wear to work when the weather is wet and snowy. He wanted something that he didn't need to change out of when he got into the office. These boots are of great quality. Nice thick leather and the sole appears to be strong and my husband says they are very comfortable. He had a bit of a hard time getting them on but said that the straps helped him pull them on. They should soften after a couple of wears. My husband has wide feet so ordered his size in wide and they fit perfectly. He wore them to work today and says they are great. These boots are quite stylish, waterproof and masculine. The price point also makes these a great deal. Would definitely recommend!

Great look, fit and support. Not an airport shoe, because you have to work a little at getting them on and off. But the effort is rewarded with all day comfort. Up close, they look like they're made in Italy, because the leather is really soft and rich. The stitching is just enough detail to make them interesting. Not too casual and not too dressy, they look smart and serious. They're very light weight but feel strong and secure, like you want a boot to feel. Great boot for style and comfort on a winter day.

I read reviews about several different all weather boots before I made the choice to buy these boots. The chelsea boots kept coming to the top of my list based on two factors: style and function. I am very glad I chose them. I've had them for almost 2 months and they are comfortable, durable, and easy to match with any grade of attire, from casual to dressy. The reviews that said these boots come in true foot size are also true. If you are a size 11, then order an 11, they will fit like a glove. Overall, I have been very impressed and very pleased.

I like these boots a lot. They are comfortable, look great, versatile, and can be worn with many different looks. I like them better than anything else I have tried but here's the thing: The sizes of these boots vary, I am guessing depending on where they are made. I just got them in brown and black both size 13M. The brown ones (made in China) are true to size but are quite tight on the lower shin just as the first reviewer mentioned. The black ones (made in Vietnam) are larger but a lot more comfortable around the chin. I don't mind them being larger cause I like roomy shoes. I think the bottom line is you have to keep returning them and re-ordering the same pair until you get one that is good for you! I did that with the black ones because the first black pair I received was definitely malformed and uncomfortable. These are great boots and if they were made precisely to Timberland's specs they would be perfect. Timberland needs some serious work on their quality control at their various manufacturing plants so they can give us what we expect, like the old days!

These are really wonderful boots. I wore them with a suit today and they looked great. I work in education and I'm on my feet all day. These Timberland boots really meet and exceed my expectations. The boots fit well and the leather is pliable to move with you and not stiff. I like the tabs on the front and back of the boots to pull them on and off. The soles are stiff enough that you don't feel every pebble when you are walking, but they are not so stiff that they feel too rigid. They are just right. When I have free time I also use these for walking. In average week I will walk another ten miles besides the walking at work. They are nice for all sorts of weather. The best part is if you get some dirt on them they wipe off easily. These are boots for a person who needs support and is moving all the time. I highly recommend them. The best part is they slip on an off in an instant.

I first want to say that I LOVED, I'll repeat, LOVED these boots. Unfortunately I've owned 2 pair in the last 4 years and have only gotten 1 year of use from each. The problem? The rubber tread. Each pair was worn down so badly that holes began to emerge, making the waterproof utility of the boot obsolete. The problem is that there is no barrier between the rubber tread and the insole...meaning if you step on a nail, etc. it would go through with absolutely no problem. Picture the material that makes a basic Halloween mask; that is the thin rubber that keeps your insole from the outside world. That wouldn't be such a problem if A.) the treads were repairable by a cobbler or B.) if customer service was helpful. They are fantastic boots and look sharp when they aren't full of holes. Once the tread begins to wear you have no option but hope that Timberland will replace them (possibly due to defects) or trash them. I've been told by different cobblers that these types of tread are not repairable and to try to reach out to the manufacturer, in this case Timberland customer service. I spoke to 2 different people; the first person at the help desk almost made me laugh while the 2nd transferred me back to the main auto-attendant menu, only for me to get transferred all over again. The first lady at the help desk said that because the tread wore away the warranty would not be applied...leaving me in utter awe as that was the part of the shoe that had failed on me twice. I relayed what the cobblers had told me and she informed me that Timberland does not repair shoes. I tried to go the next step...as in what does everyone else do if they have shoes that neither cobblers nor Timberland can fix. Her answer was to throw them in the trash. That would be fine except for $150, or roughly $300 in 4 years, I shouldn't expect to completely throw away a pair of boots. I've owned Red Wings, Wolverines, etc., and granted those were work boots, but boots and the Timberland name should imply quality and longevity. At the very least a helpful recommendation on how I can get them back to their original self again. I wish I could give these a great review as I truly loved the look, feel, and functionality of these boots in rain or snow. I've walked miles and miles with great comfort. But the tread just doesn't last...and I would give a 5 star review if it wasn't for 2 pairs doing the exact same in a short amount of time. I'll unfortunately be looking for the same style of boot from a different company that provides products that will last. Bad taste in my mouth regarding this model and Timberland in general. *If the tread were more durable I would be a returning customer for life*
