Timberland Men's Elmhurst Chukka Wr Basic Fashion Boots

Product Information

If you’re using a medical device such as orthotics, include that into the equation while you’re measuring. Some may add an inch or two, making the shoe too tight. Wear your Timberlands around the house and treat them as you’d do while working or hiking. Even while doing regular tasks, this helps to loosen them up. As they begin to feel more comfortable, wear them for longer periods.

Earthkeepers Glancy 6” Boot for women, however, seems to be more tight-fitting, especially around the arch and toe. You can combat this by buying a wider size. Size also depends on the shoe or boot you’re interested in. As we mentioned earlier, some Timberlands tend to be wider and others are more snug. They’re pretty bulky, so they don’t look great with slim pants or skinny jeans, if that’s your thing. They’re versatile in that they can fit into a variety of different styles, but they’re not dressy by any stretch of the imagination. Timberland’s lines of synthetic and leather boots, plus hiking shoes, can be stiff and do require a break-in period. One example is the PRO Pit Boss boots, which we explain further in our in-depth article here.Upon our research, it seems that Timberland heels are significantly narrower than its boots. If heels are what you’re after, and shoes usually feel snug, consider a Timberland with a wide size option.

To be clear, these boots get dirty really easily. There are a lot of ways to take care of them, but I think the biggest downside of the boots by far is that they get dirty way more easily than regular leather. I actually had to delay publishing this review because the boots got too dirty on my walk into the office! So if you’re someone who likes having pristine boots, know that it’s gonna take some work with Tims. Timberland has come a long way from those waterproof work boots. It’s now offering footwear for adults and children in a variety of sizes. Timberland engineers its lines according to American size standards—so you may have to convert to EU or UK. Just as with men’s shoes, we suggest that you measure your feet before buying. Even if you already own an old pair, don’t assume the size is the same. Some shoes stretch or loosen with time. Leave the measuring until the late afternoon or when your day is over. Your feet are likely to be more swollen in the afternoon than in the morning.

Timberland introduced its first waterproof boots in 1973 and has since become a cultural icon. Its wheat-colored boot has had several famous wearers, including Beyoncé and Jay-Z, despite its work-intended origins. Once they feel better, wear them when running errands or go for a longer walk. Not only will this soften the shoes, but you’ll be conditioning your feet to wear them for longer.

The sole is bonwelted, not Goodyear welted, meaning the sole is cemented to the upper in a manner not totally dissimilar to your standard pair of sneakers. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s poor quality — it’s very waterproof, made with sealed seams — but if and when you go through this sole, that’s it. The advantage of a Goodyear welt is that it makes the shoe easy to resole; you can’t usually resole a bonwelted shoe like these. Per Timberland’s recommendations, you may be able to apply a leather conditioner. This will soften the material, eliminating some pressure on your toes. Consult the care instructions for your particular model.In each chart, you’ll get an overview of the dimensions available in corresponding US, EU and UK sizes. There’s also a comparable inch and centimeter guide, so you know which size fits you. If you’re looking for boots, try half a size smaller than what you’d wear in sneakers. And don’t forget to break them in before wearing them on a trip or a long workday. Avoid assuming your size. Even if you wear a size 11 shoe, measure both feet again before buying your Timberlands. Consider that certain factors, like pregnancy or high blood pressure, can cause swollen feet, meaning you’ll need a bigger size. Are you looking to buy a pair of Timberlands but unsure about the size? Or maybe you’ve owned a couple in the past and are now wondering if the proportions have changed. Today, we’re answering the question: do Timberland boots run big?
