Timberland Women's White Ledge Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots

Update 9/13/2016 -- These boots successfully survived 2 weeks of field school in rural North Carolina and 6 weeks on an island in Spain. That's long wearing time, every day usage. I still find these boots to be extremely comfortable and supportive. The island I was working on in spain and somewhat rugged terrain and these no doubt saved me from rolling my ankle on more than one occasion. The traction was great for hiking along seaside cliffs. Definitely recommend!I'm writing this review to help fellow archaeologists determine if this boot is right for their needs. If you have any questions pretaining to these boots and field work, let me know!I've been wearing these boots for about a week, they required very little break in time as it was ony necessary to soften up the leather where the toes bend while walking. I have been wearing these for about a week, three days of which have been 8 hours per day of field work in North Carolina. They have kept dry and comfortable through dewy grass and when bailing water from units. The laces stay tied and secure and the ankle support is great and cushiony. While these may be slightly heavier than a mesh hiking boot due their leather construction they in no way feel clunky or bothersome. The sole does have grip and faily deep tread so this style of shoe wouldn't be great for stomping around in delicate units as shoe prints are pretty noticeable in most soils. If that's not a concern then I believe these are the perfect boot for any anthropologist/archaeologist/geologist etc. I have been working in weather up to 90 degrees thus far and I haven't felt like these boots have been uncomfortably hot. I wear moisture wicking sport ankle socks that keep my feet dry just fine.As far as fit goes, other reviews have mentioned that it isn't necessary to order a half a size up and I would agree with that. I wear a size 11 which is typically a pretty close fit in all other shoes but because of the lack of higher sizes for women I gave these a try. After trying them on, I would say they probably run a half size to a full size larger than you're used to. For me, and people who like wearing thick socks, this sizing difference will be perfect if you just order your normal shoe size. The toe box has plenty of room for movement without looking too square. Overall, great boot. I'll be updating these with images after field school is over so you can see any wear and tear!

After researching the best cost-effective options out there, I purchased these boots about 8 months ago. Since then, I’m sure I’ve trekked hundreds of miles in them. I should also say this is the first review I’ve felt compelled to write, because I’ve been so impressed. They got me through 2 months’ worth of ecological field work, trekking off trail through dense forest in the PNW. We’re talking up and down mountains, across log jams, rockslides, and streams; no joke level terrain. Through all that, they stayed secure, grippy enough, and I’m positive kept me from rolling an ankle a few times. I’ve also taken them out on 50-mile backpacking trips in the southwest, dayhikes back east, you name it. These boots perform and will not let you down.After all that abuse, they look a bit dusty and have some minor scuffs. Otherwise? Nada. These things are indestructible. They’re my go-to if I need bombproof feet, and I suspect they’ll hold up for many years to come.For sizing reference, I bought my usual sneaker size. While they were generally comfortable right out of the box, I have high arches and eventually wound up buying some cheap inserts to up the support. They’re also a bit roomy on my narrow feet with thin socks on, but fit perfectly with a nice wool sock. No sliding around or toe-stubbing. So I’d say they’re spot on/easy enough to modify to fit your foot shape!TLDR; they’ve taken an absolute beating, but remain comfortable, dry, and always reliable. Insanely good deal!

This is my honest opinion for my new Timberland boots. I love that they're waterproof, and have grippers on the sole. With a warm hiking sock they fit as they should, keeping my heel secure and in place, no slipping around; therefore, no blisters (YEA). My toes still have room to move without being sloppy. I got my normal size (7) & the laces are the perfect length, I am able to lace completely up. They provide good ankle stability while hiking on uneven terrain in the woods. Which is where I wear them often. I oiled them with "Red Wing Mink Oil Paste" as soon as I received them, doing so softens and conditions the leather to aide the breaking in process. They were honestly very comfortable from the moment I put them on. I wore them for 12 hrs while making firewood and by the time I took them off that evening they were broke in. (My feet were still dry AND did not hurt!) The padding around the ankle and the tongue is comfortable without being to bulky. I did a lot of research before my purchase of these boots. Timberland boots offered the best qualities for the price. I am beyond happy with my decision to buy these boots!! I have NO complaints. The pros and cons of these Timberland boots are;Pro: comfortable, provide excellent stability and traction, well made, fair price, waterproof, removable footbed insert for ease of airing out.Con: NONE SO FAR (been 14 days continuous wear in snow, sleet and freezing rain, temps from the mid 30s to -10)I hope my review helps you make the decision to buy these boots. I do not regret my decision!I have NOT been paid for my review!

At 1st I wasn't sure about the boots as it caused bruises on ankles and blisters on heals during the first 3 uses (1st time I tried them in the house for a couple hrs and felt uncomfortable, -blisters on heals,-2nd time I used them on a 7+ mile moderate-hard hike and ended up with bruised ankles, 3rd time on a 3 mile walk and the ankle area still felt sore). BUT once broken in, they became super comfortable, supporting my feet well both on long walks or hikes, they grip well on paths (except on loose terrain they can slip like any other boot), and keep my feet warm, too during cold weather. I LOVE the color and style. I would recommend using a boot wax before initial use, I coated mine and it helped seal in the color and water to run off it nicely. I used mine stepping in/through a creek, too and yes, they were water proof. I purchased my 1st pair on Amazon (a few cents more), but they were sold out when I wanted to purchase a 2nd pair, so I am buying my 2nd pair straight from Timberland (I find if I wait until I wear an item out, by the time I'd like a replacement pair, I can no longer find them, so I am being proactive this time). I think the value is good, too (though I can't testify for durability as I only owned the boots for a couple months, but I'm hoping they will last a couple years or longer). I purchased other brands and more expensive hiking boots in the past that were not comfortable and were a let down. I am glad I gave these Timberlands a try. The only reason I didn't give a 5-star review was the break-in period pain. I wear a 7-7.5-8 M in various footwear (tennis shoes, flip flops, boots all seem to fit differently). My initial Amazon purchase consisted of a 7.5 M and a size 8 M. I returned the 8 M right away as I was able to determine instantly that they were too large once I tried them on. The 7.5 M are a good fit for me, leaving a little extra room for thicker socks or feet to expand (not sure if a 7 would have felt too snug). Happy with my boots!

To admit these are my favorite boots of all time is a BOLD statement I take seriously, folks. I had to think ALL the way back! Yes, it's true. I even had to include my white Go-Go boots from the mid 1960s that were PRECIOUS.What I love about these boots:1. They come in Wide width2. The top isn't so high that it digs into your SHIN!3. They are RUGGED & last.4. They're comfy!5. Completely waterproof.(I walk the beach. If I get caught splashing in incoming tide, my feet stay dry)6. You walk easier in snow with these textured soles.7. They aren't too heavy.8. They let you walk normally, not clomp around like you have cement blocks on.These are more comfortable than any sneakers I own, & because New England has so many ticks, I wear my boots year-round.Great, versatile boot. I love mine!

This is my honest opinion of my new Timberland boots. I love that they are waterproof and provide excellent traction on the soles. When worn with warm hiking socks, they fit perfectly, keeping my heels secure and in place without any slipping, which means no blisters.

Very well made, comfortable, attractive boots at a very good price. I first ordered a pair in my normal shoe size and they were a tiny bit too narrow. I then ordered a half size larger and they were plenty big enough--and I have wide feet. In fact, I will be able to wear 2 pair of socks with them. I had a pair of these in the past and they stayed in good shape with frequent use for a very long time. I will say that the foot bed is not particularly soft or cushiony, so for serious hiking you may need to replace the factory made insoles. At least that was the case for me, but I have a lot of foot problems and have to wear orthotics in all of my shoes. But I'm not complaining about the insoles because the footbeds of all of the reasonably priced boots I've tried have been relatively hard. Very fortunately, my orthotics fit easily in these boots. Overall I would highly recommend these boots.

This is the second time I've purchased shoes from this supplier because I love them so much. The last 2 pictures are my first pair that I bought well over a year ago. As a zookeeper I beat shoes up pretty bad and these withstood that for 6 months longer than Keens or Merrels. They really are waterproof as I use hoses daily for cleaning AND live in Florida where it rains constantly. They are true to size and the only complaint I have is the stiffness/break in time for them. Right when I get them I know it takes 2 to 3 weeks of wearing these shoes with some foot pain at the end of the day until they are shaped to my foot. It is worth the brief pain to me for the longevity and durability of the shoe. I have not tried a sole insert in that time so that may also help.

I live in a tropical country where temperatures are usually around 30°C and these boots are great, not too hot or anything. It's good for hiking, riding a motorcycle and for day to day wear. My foot is 25cm long but I decided to size up to 8.5US (25.5CM) based on the other reviews and it fits great. Not the most water resistant boot, but I used a waterproof spray so no water enters the boots anymore. Love it!

Comfortable to walk in, fitted perfectly. Stitching seems to be good quality. Colour is true to photos. Fast delivery and packaged well. I would buy this product again.

استخدمتها بالثلوج و و نفعتني جدا لم يدخلها ماء ولا رطوبه

Zwar habe ich schon genügend Bergschuhe, die mir aber für eine Trekking-Woche immer noch zu schwer sind.Der Timberland-Schuh ist einzeln um 200 Gramm (!) leichter und passt genau, da ich eine kleine Größe 39 habe.Er ist genau der Schuh, den ich für diesen Zweck gesucht und nie gefunden habe. Das schöne Leder lässt sich gut mit einer Ledercreme pflegen. Extrem guter Tragekomfort, auch noch nach einer 7-stündigen Wandertour, teilweise im Fels.Ich kann ihn nur weiter empfehlen.

Buen producto cumplió con lo esperado
