The short answer is no. While I have no doubt there are crafty cobblers out there that can resole these, it’s unlikely that it would function as well afterwards, plus they almost certainly couldn’t find the same outsole. My buddy Donny, works a combination of outdoors and indoors where sometimes he might work in a bit of soft ground and mud and other times on tarmac or hard concrete. Usually, that’s where I stop when making comments in this section. But I have to say that I was caught by surprise when I put the boots on for the first time. The boots weighs 2 pounds and 76 ounces which is the equivalent of 1 kg and 124 grams more or less. I’ve thought about getting another pair since speed isn’t a big thing anymore in my new position. 4. Waterproof and slip resistant

This is one I’ve never heard of before, but they are compliant with ASTM F1671-07 standards for Blood Borne Pathogen resistance. One of the differentiators, when you compare cheap work boots vs expensive work boots, is that cheap work boots smell pretty bad after wearing them for a few shifts.On top of that, I like that Donny is taking care of the boots applying dubbing to them every two weeks or so not only making them water-repellent but also keeping the leather in good, healthy condition.

The only reason I didn’t get another pair of them is because the tread is pretty aggressive and the grated floor and stuff we have at work was dangerous running on.Don’t get me wrong, the features in these boots are great … but for the amount of walking he needs to do, the boots are kinda heavy leaving him with very tired calves and legs at the end of his shift. So as long as the waterproof membrane doesn’t get punctured, water will never come into his boots. Are they lightweight?How much do they weigh? The boots are still very comfortable and warm which is great for this time of the year since we’re having some miserable weather, wet, cold and windy! A little bit over a month wearing these work boots and Donny had to start wearing his old work boots. At least he started to swap them or rotate them. Just remember to clean the upper before applying conditioners or oils. To do this, simply dust off the dirt, then go in with a leather cleaner like Saddle Soap. Dab it on a moist rag and suds it up.

This design captures the best of both worlds. Cement construction boots are known to be highly flexible but not as durable as a Goodyear welted boots. Goodyear welted boots on the other hand are very durable but tend to be very rigid and stiff. In my experience, this look is easy to restore and maintain, especially since it hides scuffs and scratches effectively. But remember, Donny has wide feet so if you’re like me and have a regular width foot, (D) then these boots will run large for you. Heel height They’re not the cheapest pair of work boots out there but they’re not the most expensive ones either.So here we are, the second update on these work boots. Donny is very happy with the boots and how they’re holding up. Especially up and down steps because until they got worn down a little bit they would grab instead of “slide/slip” down the edge of steps so I had to really slow down with them but they were super comfy and the ankle was wide enough so that when I broke my ankle, I could wear a donjoy brace and still wear them which was a life save honestly.

Boy, these boots are massive! At least compared to other Timberland PRO work boots I’ve had, such as this Timberland Pit Boss boot. He’s saying his heels are a bit sore which might mean that he’s not comfortable wearing heeled work boots or he’s starting to develop mild plantar fasciitis.

So based on this we can say the boots are a great option for those of you that are doing low mileage if you’re job is more static rather than very active. Beyond that, there’s the Anti-Fatigue insole and the hard Texon footboard and heel cup for support. Bottom line here is that these boots experience a lot of abuse, and there’s almost zero aesthetic wear. The downside to this is that it’s hard to tell when these shoes need to be replaced, at least visually. Overall, my first impression is positive. The leather, comfort, and attention to detail is promising. Leather Quality and Care By cementing the heel and only welting the boots ¾ of the way around, Timberland created a flexible yet durable boot that sits right in the middle ground of being highly durable but also highly flexible.
