Timberland Men's White Ledge Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

Perfect winter boots. Love the look of them and they are very comfortable.

These things are awesome. They are very comfortable and durable . I have had them over a year and they’ve held up to every element and still in good shape.

DURABILITY: I had a pair of these for 7 years before finally cashing them in, and then only because the tread was starting to wear down and the exterior was looking worn; the structure itself remained well intact even though I wore them every day for every function from September through April. After shopping around for other boots of various brands (including the slightly more expensive Timberland Flume boots), I just had to come back to these for the value.COMFORT: The shoes feel a little stiff right out of the box, but they provide great arch support and felt extremely comfortable within two (2) hours of wearing them. The insole breaks in quickly to be much cushier to wear than it feels to the touch -- so much so that I don't think I need to use the Dr. Scholl's shoe inserts that I normally put in all my other shoes.USAGE/FIT: I've gone through LOTS of snow and water with these, and the waterproofing was wonderful. This is also a sporty shoe that you can hike, climb, and even run in. They're slim, light and agile, they hug your feet well (including the heels), and they provide excellent ankle support. The FIRST night I wore them, I literally did a cross-training workout with lots of lateral movement to test them out, and they passed with flying colors.COLOR/APPEARANCE: This newer model is VERY similar to the old one, only with slightly different tread and a brownish-gold collar and tongue cloth that matches the brown leather better than the older silverish-white cloth shown on Amazon. The brown leather is initially a little darker than it appears on Amazon, but lightens with time and water exposure. However, even after 7 years of wear, I was still getting compliments on how they looked -- both on the trail and at Christmas parties.SIZE: I normally wear a 10.5 or 11 shoe, and these fit perfectly at 10.5. I have narrow feet, so the narrower (D/M) size works well, but it's snug; if there's ANY doubt, or if you're borderline in shoe width, get the wider (E) size.

I've hiked in these 3-5 times a week since 2020 and they are durable. Now, after owning 4 pair over the years, I can confidently say the front rubber sole starts separating after 3 years. You can expect them to last 6 months after this happens. I wear insoles in them to give them a more cushy feel. And there are other more expensive boots that protect from rocks better. I have bought many other brands, Keens, Merrells, Hokas, and Obozs. Hokas are like walking on air, but last for a year. The others match up with Timberlands, at a higher price.

Update 11-10-17: 11 months later having worn every weekday and most weekends since purchased and these boots are holding up great. The Obenaufs has worked very well at water proofing and protecting with no harmful side effects to leather or glue holding soles on. Highly recommend both boot and sealer.Have worn Timberland hiking boots for years due to quality, fit, comfort and look. I have wide feet that have had multiple broken bones in each and can say these are the most comfortable shoe, of any kind, that I own. I'm 53 now and this is my 4th or 5th pair so that's not bad considering I started wearing them when I was about 14. Granted I don't have the need here in Texas like I did up in IA, MN and OR for snow proof hikers for daily wear but once you water proof these they're great even when it's warm and wet.I've used mink oil and snow seal without problems in the past but am trying Obenaufs on this pair so will update if there are any problems. So far have to say I really like the stuff. Suspect these boots are glued with similar glues used in ice skates so would not recommend baking boots and certainly wouldn't bake them, lace them up and stand as that would most likely be cause for soles separating as mentioned in one of the many other reviews of this very solid hiker.I just used hair dryer to heat the leather up and applied generously working it in like a 25 cent...we'll you understand. Just hand rup the stuff in, let sit a while, wipe off with cloth and brush.

Highly satisfied with the purchase of those boots, very comfortable, nice looking 2

Very Satisfied

So far very pleased with these boots! They are super-comfortable. I am a landscaper, so I needed a sturdy, comfortable, waterproof boot. We are outside all day, rain or shine. Given the well-known, well-established name that is Timberland I was hopeful that the quality would live up to the name. I have had these for a month or so and I am happy that I spent the money. I think they will last a while.I will mention there was a particularly wet, rainy day we worked. Toward the end of the day I feel like my feet felt like they might be slightly damp. I was a little disappointed, but I wouldn't say my feet were "wet" - they weren't really, although I don't think I would walk through ankle-deep puddles like I would with my previous boots, which were Merrill boots, and significantly more expensive. Also I should add that others have mentioned it would be wise to buy Mink Oil to rub the boots with, improving the waterproofing of the boot. I have since bought Sof-Sol Mink Oil.Summary: Good, sturdy boot that has decent support and is very comfortable - and for the most part - waterproof.
