After the manufacturer of the boots I had repeatedly bought for over 20 years started skimping on quality I needed a new work boot. I went to multiple stores to try on boots and searched online for info and reviews. Most pointed towards this boot for what l needed /wanted. So I went back to a store that had this and another brand I was interested in and tried one brand on each foot. No contest, this boot is the most comfortable new boot I've ever tried on. Throw in the quality and the ease of putting it on, all the attributes made the decision easy. After months now they still feel new and I experienced no break in soreness associated with other boots. All around really great boot. And I wanted to add that I need to wear wide normally with the last brand I wore. This boot comes in wide and medium. To each their own, but the medium fits fine. So I'd suggest going to a store that has both and trying both wide and medium before you buy. This being my first timberland pair of boots, I didn't know how often the company changes their product, so bring a creature of habit and really liking these boots I went ahead and bought two more pair to make sure I wouldn't have to change brands for years. Highly recommend the boondocks to anyone.

I got into wearing construction boots when we were building our house. These are a great upgrade/

Sturdy. Comfy.
