Men's Timberland PRO Gorge ST

For 8 years I have used this shoe @ work. For the price, it's a durable shoe but I tend to use it daily so the life is about 9 months. BUT, very comfortable.

I have owned other Timberland products over the years and was in need of a safety toe boot/shoe. I thought Timberland would be a good choice and ordered a pair. I wear a 9.5 wide. Ordered it that way the first time and when they arrived I could barely get my foot into the shoe. It appears they were marked 9.5, but add in the safety toe and it makes the toe box very narrow. I returned them for the next size wider and found they were also too narrow. I tried again and [...] decided not to replace them. Not really happy about the sizing on these shoes.

Shoe was mainly used in a factory setting that required ESD rating. The shoes were very comfortable, flexable,& breathable. Yet after only 6 months the sole split just behind where the steal toe ended.

Use for my job as a technician

This product is under your pro-series, I use these to work outdoor/indoor and the quality of the soles leak...I had to bring the first pair back to the store due to leaking soles, I exchanged them, and now this pair has the same issue. I have owned many Timberland products in my life and have found quality/durabilty/fit and comfort to be great, but am so unsatisfied with this problem in this boot? I've had two pairs and worn them less than 1-year total and have had holes in the soles of both. I work very hard for the money I earn, and need work-boots to work! I believe Timberland should stand by its claims, recall this item, and respect the working mans needs.
