Timberland Men's Chocorua Trail Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

I spent a long time looking for the right boots and then finally decided to go for these ones. Read all the reviews, looked at the pros and cons and took he plunge. They are fantastic. They are so light that when the box arrived, I thought that there must have been a boot missing. They are comfy straight off, and despite what other people have posted, the quality of the boot is top notch. There are NO problems with the eyelets - they won't fray the THICK laces that came with the boots. There are NO problems with the innersoles - they are not cheap and thin. The boots are extremely warm and will keep you warm in the coldest of days and nights. The soles are fine. Some people have said that you can feel stones through them. Yes you can but it's not a big deal. What you can actually feel are the soles moulding around the stones. They are NOT digging into your foot as I was led to believe by some reviewers, you are merely aware that you have stepped on a stone - that's all - really not a problem at all - and you are only really aware of it when you are stepping on a pebble on a flat path, which is then makes the boot push around it. When walking on a very stony patch, you can't feel a thing. These soles are very similar to another pair of boots that I had that I used for about four years, both hiking and on a motorbike and the lasted for an extremely long time. You won't have a problem. The major thing I would recommend is that you go for half a size bigger. I'm normally a UK 12 but I got the UK 12.5 (US 13W) and I'm really pleased that I did.At this price range, especially with the major discount that are being offered (but even without the discount) you are getting an extremely good boot that will be perfect for all types of long walks and short walks. I wear them all the time because they are so comfortable. They look great, and I am very confident that they are going to last for long enough to make their price worth it. I'm really pleased that I went for them.EDIT:- I took them for their first test yesterday up to a skifield and wore them whenever I wasn't in ski boots. They were fantastic - I would not have known that I was walking upon snow if I couldn't see it. My feet were warm, completely dry and they felt great (especially compared to wearing the ski boots!). I also bought some nikwax leather and fabric proof to give extra waterproofing and I would definitely recommend this to add to your boots before you tke them anywhere - it should keep your boots extra safe for a lot longer.

UPDATE: been a few more years, still wearing these. They last maybe 6-9 months, I’m a big guy and wear a single pair of these as the only shoes I wear 18 hours a day. Seriously. Then I replace them. Found this is the only way to go, different shoes make my bones hurt so I stick with a single pair of boots until worn out. My complaint is they are still hard to find, often out of stock in 12 wide in black. At around $100 per pair, about 1/2 the price of danners. And frankly not many boots are orthotic friendly including other Tim’s.I had been wearing the big "D" boots for years, in particular the striker series. They changed them, two more times from the original, and their last iteration was impossible to wear. Seriously, those boots is all I ever wore, work, home, beach, etc. Trying things like the popular "C" shoes, sneaks, etc. all gave my feet major problems even with orthotics. I'm as flat footed as they come, so this is always an issue and thus why I wear orthotics.Fast forward and I did a lot of research on boots. I had thought of trying a more common name in uniform boots, but wanted to try these because of the good reviews. These turned out to be an awesome find. I know that I was wearing an 11 EE in the big "D" and so I ordered the 11.5 EE (wide) in the Timberlands and that turned out to be a good idea. Their sizes run a tad small and definitely not as wide. Timberlands EE is more narrow than the big "D" EE. Since they don't make an even wider size, I'll make due. And the leather will surely stretch, it always does.The quality of these is amazing. They have a great build quality, seems to be very comfortable though I have just started wearing them today. They do accommodate an orthodic, but not as well as some other wide boots may. Either way I have been wearing them since USPS delivered today (SUNDAY) and they feel good. This is a first, never had a pair of shoes or boots that I could wear the whole day and not have aching feet.The only real problem I see is that this size is sold out everywhere. Even Amazon. I can only hope they are not discontinued, that would be awful and would have to start searching all over again for something that fits and works with my feet. I even tried a pair of Timberland White Ledge or something, 11 EE, and those are being returned. They are not wide enough, not long enough, and they cut down across the top of my foot no matter how loose I make them. My goal is just to buy enough of these to have on hand as the others wear, to go into a new pair. I figure a pair of boots, worn all day and night, might last 9 months-1 year, if I get more that is great. But a year is a good plan even per my foot doctor as they wear down over that year.If you like brown, or you can find these in your size, go for it. They are awesome boots and feel very comfortable, even on someone who has major foot issues with fit/comfort/etc. I've written to Timberland to see what their future plans are for this model.UPDATE: After about a week, my feet could not be happier. They are working out well. In fact, much better than my previous brand boot that I was wearing for 7-10 years. I would buy 2 new pairs of those other brand boots each year. I'd wear a pair to work, then come home and get changed, and wear the other. And after a year, they were both worn down pretty bad. I'd know because my knees would start hurting. So, I can only hope these hold up as well.....so far, so good. Bad part is these are on backorder until October, 2014 per Timberland. (in black)

I have worn Timberland for years the last pair I bought was around 2016 so I got about six years out of it I don’t wear them every day I wear them hiking and working in the yard and hunting and things like that but they’ve always been very good at waterproofing traction and top notch in comfort I was just gonna get another pair of timberlands. I ordered them from Academy. I always wear eight they were too narrow read the reviews on Amazon, others complain about them being narrow so I purchased an eight. Yes they are narrow compared to my others. I also got a Nortiv8 and Columbia MR something. Timberland size 8 1/2 now fits me like 8 used to and I haven’t grown. Timberland compared to the Columbia and the Nortiv8. There was a huge difference the Columbia newton ridge while it had had 27,000 reviews and most of them are good. they must’ve been paid for those reviews. because the shoes weren’t sturdy definitely not a hiking shoe. maybe a knock around the yard shoe but the soul is very soft hollow has air pockets in the show sole. you could push it in with your finger. so I can only imagine how weak it would be on sharp stones and in rough rocky terrain. it wouldn’t work well. The Nortiv8 looks and seems quite well made especially for the price of 50.00. But I was unsure of the waterproofing ability. The comfort, fit and thickness of the soul were much better than Colombia but we’re not up to where the Timberland quality. I kept the Timberland at $75 more than the Nortiv but they feel fit and wear so well and I’m confident in the waterproof ability as I’ve had them for 20+ years

Excelente produto.

Ok

This is my third pair of this boot - each previous pair lasting around four years, and providing literally thousands of kilometres of reliable and comfortable walking and hiking. I've used these in winter as well, through slush, snow, ice, and in the summer over puddle, roots, rocks, and more. They absorb and pad imperfections (eg. rocks) extremely well and although I've had to resole the back heels a couple of times due to wear, they have exceeded my expectations and keep me coming back.Fit wise, I have a relatively narrow foot and these fit very comfortably, including with custom orthotics (with standard included insoles removed). Laces stay tied and are quick to do up due to the hooks around the ankle rather than holes, and once broken in fit very softly around the shape of your foot.I've attached some photos to see how they look after 4 years of very heavy and regular use. They almost look like a different boot but believe it or not these are the same model and colour! I did not protect these in any way which may have kept them more colour-fast, but these for were bought for function not fashion, and on that front they definitely delivered. They stayed waterproof (down low anyways - you wouldn't want to get into ankle deep water due to the tongue not being delayed against the boot) and while not a winter boot they also stay warm in lightly freezing temps while breathing well and keeping cool in the summer.What else to say? A great value and while I am tempted to try a more expensive shoe to see what all the fuss is about, I once again find myself grabbing another pair of these and plan to wear them into oblivion.
