Why You’ll Always Love Timberland Boots

Remember back when you were a kid, and Timberlands were the boots to have? Every winter we laced up in our ruggedly handsome yellow, blue and pink boots, making sure the color coordinated with our coats. After a few winters or so, you might have realized that although you got older, your boots stayed the same. That’s because Timberlands were built to last—but do you know how?

Fall in love with your Timberland boots again with this inside scoop into what makes a Timberland boot, a Timberland boot.

A Boot With A Soul

When it comes to building a sturdy sole, Timberland doesn’t play around. That’s because the bottom is permanently attached to the body of the shoe by a process called injection molding. Try as you might, the lug sole will never, ever come off.

The Genuine Article

Timberland, which used to be named the Abington Shoe Company when it was founded in the ’50s, was one of the first to introduce waterproof leather shoes. Thanks to the full-grain nubuck leather and intense sewing process, not a single drop of water can get past these babies.

Man-Made Fortress

Ever notice how after years of wear, your Timberlands are still free of mold and mildew? That’s due to the several rows of nylon stitching that keep decay at bay. So even after years of facing blizzards, rainstorms and any other extreme weather Mother Nature throws your way, your Timberlands will be good as new.

Over the years, many shoe brands have produced imitations of the iconic shoe, but only one lives up to the true Timberland name.

These bad boys are begging to be taken out for a test drive.
