Timberland holds a good reputation especially when it comes to footwear because a lot of people say they do last forever and their waterproof ones really serves well across all seasons.
So after years of considering, I finally bit the bullet and grabbed a pair once it got on sale in Zalora. I got mine for around Php 2,000+ but its regular price is around Php 10,999. Good deal, right? You can still get this specific pair on the Zalora website in two other colours (click here for black or brown). Zalora regularly offers huge discounts on their Timberland boots so I suggest you look forward to that.
I have used my pair both in the Philippines and during the fall and wintertime in Canada and I have finally come to terms with how I feel about it.
What I Love
These boots are worth the price you have to pay for it even if it is bought without a discount. It is sturdy and you can really see and feel that the materials used are very high quality.
Even if you were it during the summertime or in tropical countries, I still think it will look stylish and fitting. This goes with a lot of different outfits but I mostly just wear jeans anyway so this is just up my alley.
I find this the most helpful during the colder months especially when it's snowing. Even though it's not lined with anything else, the thickness of the leather is enough to insulate my feet. My absolute favourite "feature" of these boots is how it has kept me from slipping down icy walkways because its outer sole has a good grip. It's also waterproof so even if it snows or rains during the winter or fall, my feet are still protected from freezing.
What I Hate
Oh the pain that comes with this pair of boots. I have been wearing it for so long but I feel like I am still breaking into them. The first few wears were the worst. I would come home with blisters even though I wore them for like an hour or two. It's so much better nowadays but my feet would still get painful when I wear them for longer walks. I cannot wear this with socks shorter than the shoes themselves because the upper portion causes so much friction on my legs.
These are also a bit heavier than your usual shoes so even that takes some time of getting used to. I believe the weight helps to stabilise when I'm about to slip and that's the only good thing about it. Its weight makes me tired a lot faster when I'm walking.
Final Verdict
If I would ask myself if I'd buy this pair again, I don't think I will. My Aldo snow boots are also snow and water proof but they're very comfortable - not as slip-resistant but still has a good grip. I got these because of the reputation that the brand has but I don't think this is for me or maybe I still have to find ways to make it work.
