Timberland Earthkeepers Rugged Originals Leather 6in Boot - Men's

I wear these almost every day from fall to spring. I've now owned 3 pairs over several years. The great thing about these boots is that they're not overly heavy, stiff or clunky. They're super comfortable and great for the casual office and trips to the job site.

Only negative is the longevity of the sole. They wear quickly. But I still love 'em.

They run large, and really form to your foot once they break in. I typically wear a 10. I buy 9s in these.

Great boots. The stitching and overall construction seems pretty solid. I treated mine with mink oil and saddle soap, but even without that they had a level of waterproofing. The two pull tabs on the back are a nice detail. The bottom one is more for puling on the boots, wherein the top one is for lacing through any additional lace length (not able to fit a finger through).

One of my favorite features is the use of recyclable materials. That being said, the materials used are great. The soles have great traction on icy sidewalks, slushy streets, and hard-packed stairs, alike.

They are holding up great, and I expect them to patina over time and to age very well.

I really enjoy these boots. Very stylish and comfortable boot made from durable material. Definitely runs a size big.

These are great but they do run at least a size large. other than that I have been very pleased with these boots

I love the leather these boots are made out of, it is beautiful! I'd recommend sizing down quite a bit because leather stretches and these run about a size large. Overall an awesome boot with goat skin inside!

Fantastic leather boots. The style is awesome, and they are extremely functional. Not completely waterproof, but will stand up to plenty of moisture and snow. These have been indispensable as we get into winter in Utah!

I found these to be about 1/2 size large (I'm an 11 in just about every shoe ever), but they are great with heavy wool socks.

I bought these for nights out. Im not a sneaker man, and sometimes logger boots are to bulky. Waterproof, comfortable, I figured I'd give them a try. Very happy. Idk why people say they run big. I wear 11 , 1.5 got 11, fit good. I will edit review after winter and let you know how they held up.

I gave this as a give for my brother because he was anxious to get it. Below his opinion:
"I've done the most extensive research within all retailers and until I cross my way with this pair of boots I had to bought them ASAP, totally waterproof and as the "earth keepers" version from Timberland the sole is made out from recycle materials and that's pretty quite cool, very comfy as well and they appear to be endurable for any usage that you can think of, from walking through the woods to give them a casual look they are the ones for you. I had to lower down one size cause I read that they run a little bit large and I indeed made the right choice, they fit as expected..."

my foot has been measured as size 9. the size 8 was still too large for me and needed to be returned. i'm not sure if this is consistent for timberland, but if it is i guess i'm out of luck because 8 is the smallest men's size....

I like the look of these boots in the burnished style. It adds a bit of contrast to and otherwise boring boot. I usually wear a 10 in these boots the 9.5 fit well.

I was given these as a gift, and so far they're super comfortable; nice, soft leather. and flexible soles. I also think they look pretty darn good, especially considering the price, which is low for fashionable boots. I also appreciate the green story, which makes me feel like these are easier on the planet than other boots. One quick note: These are casual boots, and not really for serious hiking or backpacking. Also, folks aren't kidding when they say these boots run BIG; I normally wear an 11 or 11.5, but had to size down to a 10 for these bad boys ... which meant a couple of exchanges to get the right size.

Like everyone else has said in the reviews, they do run a little big. I went down a half size and they fit great!

Very nice leather and solid sole. Very comfortable for everyday use. I mainly use them as a casual boot. Bought them at the beginning of the winter and they have worked very well in the snow and ice.

Soft and flexible. I mainly wear them as dress boots.

They definitely run a full size too large, I would suggest downsizing at least 1 size on this boot.

I read the reviews and decided to give this boot a try, thinking it would be a good all-around shoe. They definitely run a full size too large, and seem pretty wide. The construction with one layer of leather, many seams, no insulation, and really no support from the flimsy ankles and thin sole made me return these. Also made in China. I really couldn't see myself doing any serious backpacking or hiking in these boots. That said- they are beautiful, and would be great at work (if you work in an office) or downtown. But for $150+ there are simply better boots out there.

High quality boot with style and comfortable. After doing some research I bought a half size bigger and I'm glad I did, they run a bit small; I usually wear a size 10 so I ordered a size 9.5, I was a littler nervous but they fit great! Suggest breaking in before using!

After reading the reviews and downsizing from my usual 11 to a 9.5, it was still a bit too large. so i exchanged them for a 9.0. i'm picky and like a snug fit, though. with reasonably thick smart wool socks (basically as thick as i go, same thickness as what i wear in my ski boots) my toes just barely touch the front of the boot now. yes, yes, i know you are supposed to give your feet some space, but i also know these boots will work around my foot and stretch to my foot with a little time. plus, the sole juts out more than regular shoes and since these are work boots (for me) i'd hate to be carrying something heavy and eat shit because i'm not used to a plank attached to my foot. also, i probably won't do too much hiking in these. so a regular 11 down to a 9.0 was ideal for me. fairly simple, fairly lightweight boot. nothing fancy but a pair you can definitely wear out?depending on your style of course. oh yeah, as noted in other comments, they are NOT waterproof (the tongue is separate from the shoe until the bottom) and NOT insulated. if you DO want to wear big ass socks, then, obviously only go to like one and a half sizes smaller than your usual fit. looking forward to many years with these bad boys!

I love these boots. They are well built and fairly sturdy while still being soft and flexible. They lace up really well and don't pinch around the top of the ankle like some boots I have had in the past do. I agree with some other comments claiming they run big. I wear a size 12 and went with 11 in these boots. I still wear wool socks with the 11's and they are not too tight.



I recommended using NikWax leather lotion on these boots. It helps keep the leather conditioned and protects against water and dirt.

i've had these boots about a year and I am still really pleased with them. holding up great and still looking good.
