Timberland Men's Keele Ridge Steel Safety Toe Waterproof Industrial Hiking Work ST WP, Brown: Brown, 11

I bought these last minute, and was incredibly impressed with how comfortable they are. I logged 80 straight hours in one week, on a job site that was largely concrete. We put in 17 hour days, and the only part of me that didn’t ache each night was my feet. I had zero time to break them in, and yet they fit like I’ve logged 100mi hiking in them. I bought them for the job, but plan to use them in the future for hiking. I now feeling confident I can slip them on and easily do a 10mi backpacking trip without worrying about blisters etc.For sizing, I saw reviews suggesting they ran big, but the 10’s were too snug. I normally wear a 10.5 in Nike and 11’s in ON. These in a 10.5 fit me perfectly, with just a tiny bit of extra room in the toe, which I wanted for wool socks etc.

Light and comfortable

Very comfortable right out of the box. Fits true to size. Only worn them on the job site a few times but so far they seem like they can take a beating.

This is my 2nd pair. Very lightweight and the composite toe is strong. The sole of the boot last, but the sides of the sole aren't extremely durable.Great boot.Good price.

So far, these boots are great.Always had great luck Timberland Pro boots.

Size was right on, fit and comfort excellent right out of the box, and overall no complaints so far. I work in a heavy equipment repair shop, lots of time on concrete, dirt, and oils both indoors and outdoors. So far they've been warm and dry this winter, without feeling like they'll be too hot in the summer. The weight and balance feels normal, traction is good on slick concrete, snow, ice etc... If these old up decent they'll be my new favorites, and I'll certainly update this post if they're junk in a year.

I was very impressed with the fitment right out of the box. They're about as comfortable as a good trail boot and nearly as light. In fact, they feel more like a trail or insulated winter boot which I'm sure it could substitute as in a pinch along with some wooly socks. I can forget I’m even wearing steel toe work boots with these on. They're very comfortable to wear all day even after working.The grey midsole, particularly below the ball of the foot is thick and spongy for absorption and the bottom heel and toe cap both have some nice thick rubber "bumpers" covering them stitched to the insole. Brass eyelets are an important but overlooked part of a boot and these appear to be good quality. Timberland has had a reputation with boot eyelets coming loose and falling out over time though so we'll see. Overall 5 stars.Edit: March 2023 and they are finally wearing out on the bottoms. I've put them thru everything but the front tread has finally disappeared after 4 years of use. So no longer safe to use as work boots, but will continue to use for house and garden work for years to come. The leather has never been conditioned so is thin and grainy in some spots but the the string eyelets, soles, walls and bumpers still intact.

The Timberland Pro Keele Ridge safety toe work boots arrived quickly, and looked as good as advertised. The boots seem to fit true to size (I ordered an 11.5, normal width), and they fit my foot well in terms of length and width, with just a hint of roominess. The toe box even accommodated my wide forefoot. I like the sizing as I will be able to wear these in the winter with wool socks and not have cramped feet. There is no insulation (thinsulate) in these boots, so adding layers is important for those working outdoors in winter climates.The boots' upper material is comfortable and seems to be breaking in well. The hard toes are just like any other boot in terms of flexion point near the base of the toes, but seems to be decently padded on the inside. It would be nice if the insole was a little more padded or spongy, but that's my personal preference. The boot is in no way compromised by the stock insole, and most people may find it acceptable.The shoes waterproof ability has barely been tested, but has held up well so far.The biggest gripe I have about these boots is the lack of a lace through spot on the tongue to keep the tongue from slipping from side to side during twisting types of activity (like shoveling).At less than $100, I feel I have made a better value decision than a much more expensive pair of Red Wings, or similar, safety toe work boot.
