Timberland PROMen's Boondock 6 Inch Composite Safety Toe Waterproof Industrial Work Boot

i just got them and started using them. the footbox was really important. i have narrow feets but i like to spread my toes out so i got the 9.5 wide. i use semi thick socks and its still a bit long. im going to assume the boot is true to size because my feet is 9.0 US and theres still a lot of room in front of it. go true to size and order wide. your toes will love it.as im walking around, my lower shin hits the top of the boot. that can be good or bad depending on how you see it. it lets me know that i can step in deep water but then just walking around will be annoying as it will hit it often.i wish they made these boots in all black and not have all that orange on there. my work wants all black so im hoping that i can get away with the amount of orange there is. in the pictures, all that orange you see is darker than what you see in real life. its a bit bright so maybe ill color it with a permenant marker.the toe cap is hella stiff and strong. I feel like i can hammer something with it or kick wood and not feel a thing. because these are new, the cushion is nice but i would recommend getting feet cushions that are more thicker, especially if you work in construction or work that requires safety boots. the reason being is that foam will naturally compress with time so you're going to need to change it out.another thing i wish which is possible because other boots can do the same is to have a side zip and being waterproof at the same time. im not a fan of tying my shoes because in my line of work, if there is an emergency, you have to rush to put on your boots and then run to it. if there was a side zip, it would be awesome. once you go side zip, you never want to use any other style of boots. trust me on that one.

I'm a commercial kitchen service tech. I have put these things threw industrial dishwasher Chem which burns like crazy, other industrial chem,water you nsme it these things have held but beyond expectations. I usually go thur a new pair of boots every year. These made it 2 and could prob make it 3.

First and foremost, I'm glad I dropped the money on these. I have been eyeballing and researching boots for months. What brought me to these...and specifically this brand...was the upper eyelets.I'm sure everyone ever who has bought boots get tired of shredding laces around the boot hooks at the top. Timberland's I found I have proprietary design that has a rounded U-Type that is easier on the laces, but also has a built in traditional loop hole integrated into it. This in my opinion is a superior design because it caters to user preferences. Me, I like the a traditional hole...no pun intended. Lol.The design of these boots haven't changed in years. It's works and has worked for years. I have other boots in this price point that I hate wearing sometimes because my toes hit everything. Getting in and out of the car carelessly, sitting being the desk at work, getting on and off equipment....if something is there to touch and I'm not mindful of it, I'm gonna hit it. Yeah, I get it, they are boots, they are leather, it should be durable enough to take the occasional hit this and that. But it urks me. The fact that the Boondock has a dedicated area that I can hit whatever and it won't mess up the leather is the other selling point for me.And can I talk about how comfortable these are. As heavy and billet as these are, damn are these comfortable. It's like strapping into a tank that has seats built by Cadillac. Usually I have to go and get some different inserts. So far, I haven't got the feeling that I'll need to do that with these.My only gripe...if there is one....these are made in Bangladesh and not the USA. Usually I would question the quality control. But based on the feedback from other buyers and the quality that I see in the ones I received, I'm confident that Timberland quality controls their product at their Bangladesh sight.

Been buying these for years because of a spine issue that translates to my gait. The anti fatigue is well made and lasts the life of the boot no question. They are a little poor fitting out of the box, but like most utility based Tim's as opposed to fashionable, they form to your step and foot well in a rather short period of time. The water resistance only lasts maybe a 1/4 of the life, but they take treatment well. I've used 3 different kinds of waterproofing over the years and each one had remained waterproof for the season. They usually give me up to 2 years of stable wear before succumbing to my poor step and wearing unevenly. I use them in general contracting and they frequently eat concrete. Main advice I can give is if you use near concrete dust, clean at minimum weekly. It will destroy almost every part minus the sole. Also they do a good job on the anti microbial end. My sneakers I barely wear have more odor. Unlike a lot of things they seem to stick to the original design of these with minor updates to colors and what not. Which should go to tell they are well designed. Maybe not for 200. But with the first pair being 180 back in 2012, I'm not mad about it.

Husband loved these for construction work!

You buy Timberland for a reason. Not many can match the quality.

Comfortable and good fit
