Timberland Boots For Sale

Timberland, one of the world's leading manufacturers in outdoor apparel and footwear, has long-enjoyed a reputation for providing comfort and durability outdoors. Nathan Swartz, Timberland's founder, began in 1918 as a stitcher at The Abington Shoe Company in Massachusetts, eventually taking ownership of the company. He and his sons started utilizing injection-molding technology to create fused soles in leather shoes. This innovation led to the creation of the first durable, waterproof boots, named the "Timberland," in the 1960s.

The boot proved so successful the that company name was changed to The Timberland Company. Today, Timberland specializes in casual, stylish shoes and boots, as well as rugged outdoor apparel. From its Massachusetts origins, Timberland has expanded to become an international name. The company has expanded its offerings of men's boots to include women's lines and outdoorwear.

Timberland Merges Style with Comfort

Timberland's line of boots has diversified significantly since its early days, as well. From the original six-inch boots to sleek roll-top styles, Timberland boots feature a classic, rugged shape that includes thick lug soles and either leather or nubuck uppers. Timberland's six-inch boots are traditional in shape--with a few extras thrown in. Some models feature wingtip styling or functional extras such as goosedown fill for comfort or Gore Tex® membranes for breathability.

Timberland's Classic line includes the Men's Union Flats, rugged, nubuck ankle-length boots. The Timberland Classic Chukka boot is slightly more refined, and comes in wheat-colored nubuck or waterproof black leather. The Chukka secures dryness and ensures comfortable wear--even over rugged terrain--with maximum traction. Timberland's Classic Oxford shoe takes the basic boot to new heights. Waterproofed and abrasion resistant, the Classic Oxford line laces quickly and features durable Taslan fiber laces. Even the shoe's hardware is rust-proofed, extending the overall life of the shoe.

Timberland's Euro boots are more fashion-conscious. These ankle-length boots are more streamlined, with stylish leather and fabric uppers--although they are just as rugged as other lines. Some feature straps and padded collars.
