I bought these boots for my boyfriend, and he is extremely happy with the fit and the style of these boot shoe

I work on my feet 8 hours a day.

In 2010 I was suffering from Plantar Fasciitis, and wore Dr. Scholl's arch support insoles with every shoe I owned, as recommended my foot doctor, and that worked well enough.

One day, while shopping for hiking boots, I came across these ones, and noticed the great arch support they had, bought them, started wearing them to work, and never needed the Dr Scholl's insoles again.

They not only have great arch support, but also great ankle support. When they are new, I can stand in one place for a long time and my feet don't hurt or tire. It actually feels like someone is holding my feet straight.

The arch support holds well for over two years, the ankle support diminishes in a few months, but it is still noticeable over a year later. Overall, I need a new pair every two years or so. I do always own two pairs at a time, and I wear them all the time.

My plantar fasciitis disappeared after wearing these boots. Still today, if I wear any other shoes, like my sneakers, and walk around for half an hour, my feet hurt, but with these boots, I can walk or stand all day, and feel no pain or tiredness.

A couple of years ago I devoted a whole day to shopping for a different pair of boots that had equally good arch support. Went to different stores, tried on many pairs of different brands, including other Timberlands, but I could not find any model that was such a complete solution as these Chocorua are. Either the arch support was not as good, or they were not as comfortable, or they lacked the ankle support these have. In the end, I ended up buying two more pairs of these Chocorua.

However, Timberland has discontinued these boots, as I learned when I contacted them directly. They are now only available through outlets like Amazon, or Zappos,

I highly recommend them if you have my foot problems. I also went on many hikes with these boots and they performed excellently, even after wearing them for months at work.

I read the comments about waterproofing, and Gore Tex vs. Timberdry (mine are Timberdry), and though waterproofing is not a factor for me, I can tell you that these boots are on my feet 90% of my time with shoes on, and I have worn them through snow and rain many times, and have never experienced any dampness, or water leaking.

Good for work. Confort and resistant for a regular purpose.

This is my 4th pair since 2016. I wear them daily for work and do not take them off. I am on my feet a great deal. The first pair fit like a glove and were comfortable immediately which kept me coming back. I decommissioned the first pair as work around the house shoes and have been wearing the second purchase for work only. I picked up a backup third pair a year or so ago and wore them for several weeks trying to break them in but they continued to rub my ankles raw so I quit wearing them - should have returned them but did not. The new pair thankfully fits like the first ones did! Three great fitting pairs out of four is not bad.

I absolutely love the comfort, durability, support, and warmth this boot provides. They look great, as well.
I have worn Timberlands almost exclusively now for almost a decade because of how impressed I always am at how much I love them.
As with any other pair, I treated them with some mink oil and wore them to work that night. No break in period necessary.
I do occasionally try another boot if there's a deal I can't pass up, but I always come back to Timberland, and they always have the right boot for my needs.
I just can't recommend them enough.
