Timberland

Timberland Boot Co boots are pretty awesome. I have 5 pairs right now, actually. Usually buy cheap and sell them used after I abused them for around the same price I bought them for. I usually only go for the Tackhead Style which has bad ass screwed on Vibram soles. Pretty sure it's Horween Leather and they're lined with wool. I've had 5 versions of the Tackhead line and I haven't been disappointed yet. I'm stepping it up and gettin some Wescos though. Timbo Boot Co basically rips off wesco anyways.
Here's a pic of some Tackheads with my barely worn IH634s I got off SuFu a few days ago.

I've been wearing my lug soled boat shoes for a couple of weeks now and I have to say that they are some comfy shoes! They breathe really well and feel quite lightweight as well. I definitely recommend these! Sizing is exactly like the premium boot, size down one full size from your sneaker (Nike AM 87/90/95 for example) size.
And on a side note, what's the opinion on these?
Personally I think they're hideous, the lug sole is such a classic silhouette on this boot.

They're like a hybrid between the Work Boot, and the Abington hikers…....done really badly.
-
not a fan of them things Jii.

The top ones are beauties.

Yeah those chukkas on top look really nice, but I tried a pair on last year and they didn't feel like a good quality shoe, very light in the wrong way and generally just mediocre. Hard to explain but anyway.
Those Nexusvii deck chukkas do look very nice but the price (+ 400 $) is just too much IMHO for a Timberland shoe even if the materials are top notch..

Timberland, iconic it's simple as that! Both the 6" and the 3 eyed classic are one's i've had numerous times and still currently have 6" in the blonde suede and brown leather and the 3 eyed in burgandy. One thing i will give prop's for for on those styles is the quality has remained even when they shifted production to the Domoinican Republic although i wonder if the new owners will keep that up now that the Schwartz family has sold out.

Actually these things have reminded me about my 'Super' pair a 1o inch guide boot made with Pittards WR100 leather, Gore-Tex and 400grams of thermolite the nasty weather has no chance against those bad boys.
Where pray tell are these made as i'm guessing it won't be the US or Dom Rep?
-
well not sure where they are made
i'll take a look when i go home tonight . . . . much later tonight.

Are you having it as bad as DC right now Monday as that weather i saw on tv over there is crazy right now for this early in the year.
-

**i hope this winter isn't going to be as rough as last winter

Lucky you! I could say the same for us but to be honest i'd rather we had those cold winters we have had the past three years rather than the rain we normally get, in saying that NY's winters are proper bitter.
-
yep made in china.
-
harshest winter weather
also take me back to the late 80s when those boots were just it. yes i keep things a really long time
-
yep made in china.
Does not surprise me that but my Taiwanese ones do, i've never came across any other Timberland made in Taiwan.
-
until very recently i was really not that concerned with where my items were manufactured.
i just cared about quality made goods. having a world view is hard work
& i do salute all those that make purchases around human rights issues & the sort.guess it's one of the reasons this thread is sort of empty
