Timberland PRO Men's 26011 Direct Attach 8" Soft-Toe

I had to return two pairs of boots within the last year for warranty coverage. Mind you, this is after very light use. I do not wear the boots everyday all day long, maybe once or twice a week for 1 to 2 hours at a clip. The first problem was the stitching pulling apart. The second problem was they were not waterproof as advertised. I was only in 2" of snow and my feet were saturated within 2 hours. The quality of Timberland boots has significantly declined within recent years, hence a good review from a 3-year old pair of boots. It is very unlikely that I will buy another Timberland workboots. Oh, you have to pay for shipping to Timberland for warranty coverage on a pair of boots that didn't work. I would recommend looking at Gortex, Wolverines, Chippewas and/or Red Wing boots before spending money on these. The only good thing I have to say about these boots is they were comfortable, just not practical for work.

UPDATE 12/13/23:I'll keep my review 5 stars, These boots are very well made, but, I experienced an issue requiring me to return these:On day 3 of wearing these, I noticed rubbing and discomfort on my left inside ankle bone. I tried over the next few days to wear these very loosely tied to minimize pressure on the ankle, but, it did not help. On day 5 of wearing these, I took a closer look at the left boot and compared it to my right boot.The issue became clear.....the left boot tongue which folds over into a "V" when the boots are laced, has a slightly larger/wider section of leather there than on the right boot.For me and my left foot ankle bone, that slightly longer length was enough to rub that creased fold of leather right on top of my left inside ankle area.The leather on each side of the tongues is not lined at all like some boots, so the folded crease of leather at points of contact on the ankle is not softened there. I have another pair of work-boots which do have a soft liner across the entire tongue including both side and no issues with that boot.For many, they'd never notice this....and the boots would work fine. for me, and my ankle, it would not work.I chose not to reorder quite yet and will return these and then decide how to proceed to shop for another boot.I still recommend this brand and this specific boot since for most everyone, hopefully they won't experience the "unique" issue that I had!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I needed a work-boot for Winter use around the house and I did not want a cheap pair.I'm familiar with the Timberland brand and because my wife owns another style of Timerlands and loves them, decided I'd go with this brand only.I found this exact same boot at a local Shoe Store, but, it was over $55 more than at Amazon.I ordered these from Amazon in size 10, regular width.These boots, fit perfectly to my size and even as new and stiff as they were until getting broken in, were extremely conformable right out of the box. I've had boots in years past that were a challenge to wear while breaking in and sore ankles seemed inevitable until the boots broke in after a few or more weeks of use.These Timberlands did not require any break-in. I walked my dogs for a few miles in them the first day and it felt like I'd been wearing them for months.The construction of these boots is awesome. Thick leather, exact and precise stitching everywhere and a strong, thick sole with a tread pattern sure to grip icy snow and slush with no worries about slipping.These boots are not featherweights, but, not bad in weight at all and due to the quality of materials plus being insulated, a little extra weight here means you are buying a very solidly made boot.Absolutely delighted with these and for our snowy Vermont Winters, they are going to be my go to primary go-to boots for sure.Worth the price and these high quality boots are priced far less at Amazon than anywhere here locally.5 Stars all around and well deserved!

well built, comfortable, hold up well, my second pair.

I got these boots in December and have been wearing them nearly everyday on the job as a forklift operator at a lumber company. Less than a year in and the soles are gone and cracked, and the side of the boots have come apart. I like the comfort of the boot, but find the construction of the boot did not stand up to the wear and tear I put on them for a acceptable amount of time.

So my relationship with Timberland boots started poorly. I bought a pair of the regular Timberland boots and they were awful. Felt like you were walking on cardboard. I was complaining to a family member about them one day and said I'll never buy another pair of timberland boots. He told me that I needed to try the timberland PRO boots. So I did.My first pair, I bought about 2 years ago, were the 6" Direct attach Steel toe boot. I LOVED THEM. I still have them, and after 2 years they are still comfortable, completely waterproof and look pretty good. Due to the fact that they were the only boots I had, they were worn for work and with jeans casually, so they are now marked up and relegated to work boots only. Just last week I was scrubbing grout from shower tiles and had the water running on these 2 year old boots for about 30 minutes as I stood in the shower and my feet were bone dry.I purchased these 8" soft toe boots just to wear with jeans. I can't emphasize this enough, both of these PRO boots ARE THE MOST COMFORTABLE SHOE (NOT JUST BOOT) I'VE EVER WORN. No problem being on your feet in them all day, plus they look great with a pair of jeans

Hubby loves these boots, very comfortable and made extremely well.Highly recommend.

Been wearing pros for 30+ years and will probably be buried in them. Wore mostly the wheat colored, with the occasional brown thrown in. Decided on the “marigold “ this time around. Like them , and going to keep them ( the fit and comfort are spot on) but the color is absolutely nothing like the pictures . They are more of a medium brown suede, so be forewarned.

I have been wearing Timberland Pro's (26011) for well over 10 yrs. I just recieved my new one's. True to size as usual. I work outside for 12 month's a year (DPW) on my feet most of the time, no fatigue, pretty warm in the winter. Waterproof. I believe these are my 10th pair. I wear my old ones when riding my Harley. They usually cost about $119.00- $140.00, I paid $82.00 through AMAZON. Buy these at any price.
