Timberland PRO mens Power Welt 6" Waterproof Steel Toe Industrial Work Boot, Rancher Brown, 12 Wide US

I have been buying work boots for over 20 years and I tell you, these are the best work boots I have ever purchased. I haven't used them yet except to try them on and wear them around the house but the feel and quality stand out from the very first time I put these on.I usually buy the lowest price work boot that has all the safety equipment. This has recently lead to much frustration as the boots nowadays are made to be sold, not to last. There is a clear feel and difference to this boot. I decided to go with a boot that costs a little more but has a ton of customer satisfaction behind it. THIS IS THAT BOOT!People said it was comfortable and durable. Well, I can vouch for the comfort part and now I just need to wait for old man winter to show his face so I can prove the durable part. I always buy my boots at the beginning of winter so as to get the best bang for the buck, Usually, by the time summer rolls around, my cheap boots already have holes in them but it doesn't matter because it is spring and summer and I don't need to worry about freezing water getting to my toes. So they last until next winter approaches and I buy the next year's pair of boots and the cycle repeats. Something tells me I won't need to worry about that this year. :)My next goal is to put these boots on my wish list. I assume that, by the Thanksgiving black Friday sales, I will be able to find these boots at an even better price than I found them here. If I do, then I plan to pick up at least one, if not two more and for all I know that could be five years worth of good quality boots that I would be investing inUpdate: Dec 4th, 2013. These boots have just been broken in. It only took a few days working in them and they already fit like a glove. Very comfortable and easy to slip on and off. I like them so much that I just ordered a second pair for 30% off during the black Friday sale. Excellent deal and I think I just bought many years worth of boots! ;) I don't mind. By the time these wear out I can imagine how much boots will cost so the savings from inflation alone is going to be significant. I also don't need to worry about growing out of them since I'm not a kid any more.If I can mange to leave my job in a few years I could have hiking boots for life! That I would not mind at all given the quality of this bootUpdate #2 Nov. 4, 2017: I finally wore through the first pair of boots so that they have holes in the leather and am down to one pair of waterproof boots. I decided to go looking through my old posts to see what these would cost now. Ironically it is four years plus a day since I wrote my first review. It is hard to believe these two pairs of boots have lasted this long! I plan to use one in the summer because of the holes and the other in the winter to make them last longer. These two should last another year easily at this rate a probably two. At that point the winter boots will become the summer boots and I'll need a new pair for winter.I may as well go ahead and see if I can pick these up in another Black Friday sale since they went up 35% in four years. That is a pretty good ROI if I just put them in the closet waiting to be used

These boots are so comfortable. Very well made, and fast shipping.

Got the powerweld 12w in rancher brown.. Honestly very comfy out of box, no toe box cramming or discomfort at all from first step in (I would feel that instantly in "herman survivors") the boot seems very solid n well built.. My concerns from reviews were the outsoles.. That they would break dwn fast being comprised of some softer material.. They seem a lil sponge-er then traditional outsoles of boots.. Very comfy and quiet.. No boot clunk at all.. Almost ninja like while not feeling like they're weak or crappy so idk maybe better that traditional outsoles we'll see.. I would say that after any break in they will feel like sneakers rather than work boots from what i gather so far.. which would be awesome in my opinion.. Now we all know it may take some break in time so some discomfort is to be expected from any new footwear especially work boots comprised of tough treated leather materials and steel toe (we have to allow these materials to stteych and mold to our bodies and how we move etc... Also take into account manufacturing defects or bad cuts from time to time.. I had other boots where both feet hurt.. Or one would hurt, but the other was fine.. And Had returned and got a new pair, and were both comfy after that in past, so unfortunately it happens and thats not the boot itself.. Its a defect.. Also keep in mind in certain environments you may need to occasionally care for leather or polys.. If they get super dry after enough time/abuse they will obviously start to crack or breakdown (like we may need to oil a valued baseball glove or jacket etc).. Also lets face it many of us probably work in conditions that beat the brakes off any boots at all, so if my phone says i walked 16,000 steps today at work.. Thats a few miles so i might put 15-25 miles a week on these boots.. Jumping up/dwn to levels, kicking, turning, pivoting, stomping in them despite the elemental exposure such as Grease, rain, water, snow, mud, dust, dirt super cold, super hot.. Stepping on gravel, cement/concrete, debris, steel beams sharp edges and raw material, nails/screw metal slag etc etc etc.. you guys n gals know wtf i mean. We beat the shit out of ourselves at work right.. So obviously the boots we wear will get it more so.. So dnt get uneasy of the few bad reviews.. When most that i read said these boots were great.. And i agree, but would like to get a good month in them at work before i come back with an actual review update on how they feel and held up so far.. But again out of box they look and feel waaaay better rhan any other traditional work boot ive bought.. Im new ro the timberland pro series line of work footwear.. Had a few ppl tell me they were comfy and so im giving them a try.

I ordered these boots because I work outside everyday-rain or shine and I was tired of having wet feet. These boots did not disappoint. I have only worn these for a couple of weeks but it has been wet out almost everyday. They keep water out and my feet comfortable all day. The rubber soles have good grip on slick or wet surfaces and the boots are very comfortable with little or no break in time. These are safety toe boots so I ordered them in wide and have plenty of room in the toe box with no discomfort. I would have given five stars but had to exchange the first pair due to water leakage. This pair (the second) are waterproof as advertised and appear to have very sturdy construction without being too heavy. With proper care they should give good service. They are not insulated and there is some retention of perspiration so they might not be well suited for very cold weather. When informed of the issue of the first pair leaking Amazon had a new pair at my door two days later - no charge- no questions. Excellent customer service.Update 2/8/17: I really like these boots. Have bought several pair of them over the years. The main problem for me is similar to what others have said. The soles fall apart after a year or so while the uppers remain in good serviceable condition.Update 3/23/18: Same as last pair. Uppers holding up great but the soles are cracking and falling apart after one year of wear. Other than the soles wearing out these are the best boots I have had. I suppose a year of hard use is a reasonable amount of service.

Walk all day at job, very comfortable boot!
