After using these boots for 2-1/2 years I'm now comfortable providing a review. While these have not been used in the harshest environment (oil field, construction, etc.) they have been used frequently in light construction, landscaping and urban hiking (dog walking) in rain, snow and mud.

Compared to other boots I have owned recently, these earn a high rating for durability. The soles have not worn excessively even with a lot of walking on concrete, asphalt or gravel. Solid enough to wear well but soft enough to grip and be comfortable.

My recall is that the fit was quite well right out of the box. My foot geometry has a narrow heel so EVERY boot requires me to make some minor adjustment with lacing, socks, etc. The lace-to-toe feature seems to add to that stability by securing the boot at the ball of my foot to minimize slippage front to back. Other than my odd heels the overall fit is great with enough room in the toe box and a snug grip around the arch and ankle.

No noticeable deterioration in the uppers at this time. Overall stitching, eyelets, hooks, leather and sole bonding is like new. NOTE TO TIMBERLINE: The upper hooks could be a bit larger as the laces are barely covered by the hook. This results in the lace popping out of the hook unless tension is provided at the perfect angle when tying. Once they're properly tied it is a secure fit.

Overall I would recommend these boots based on durability, fit and value and would definitely by another pair. Not needing replacement now (and no longer needing this type of boot) I'll continue to use these for multiple uses as they are versatile enough for many applications.

These shoes scar very easily. Most comfortable rugged work boot for extreme conditions. Even though they look dead after two weeks they maintain their fit and support. I usually buy one pair every two years. Now I use them for yard work because my arches hurt after a day using a different shoe. With these my feet don't get sore and I stay energized.

After I bought my first pair of Timberland Pro 50506 boots years ago I haven't had a reason to go look at other brands since. They wear well in a heavy duty truck repair shop. They last me about two years which is pretty good for the environment that I use them in. They are out of the box comfortable and need very little break in. They keep my feet warm in the winter and not too hot in the summer. I had to replace my old pair because I had worn a hole in the end of the toe box from having to kneel on cement from time to time. The boot tread wears very well. I have never worn the tread out. My company furnishes boots for us but they are not the quality that these are and I choose to buy my own instead. I would give them 5 stars for sure except that the last two pairs I have gotten have not been quite as comfortable out of the box as they used to be. Timberland Pro must have changed something. I'm still keeping these my go to boots for work though.

This Timberland Pro Boot is the Best. I purchased two pairs. I have been wearing this Timberland boot for the last 20 years. I wouldn't wear another boot.

Like the boots and it fit well
