TimberlandMen's Classic 2-Eye Boat Shoe

Bought these the other day, put them in a bucket of water for a few hours and then wore them wet to break them in both yesterday and today. They are just about broken in and are quite comfortable now, if a bit damp still. I bought Timberland because of past good experience with their boat shoes and because they have a flat sole. We have loads of grassburs and fire ants where I live (central Texas) and it's danged hot in the summer. I spend lots of time outside. Sandals are cool but at the expense of getting stabbed by the grassburs and stung by fire ants. Boots or sneakers with heavy socks work against both of them but at the expense of really overheating during the day and getting the grassburs stuck in the sole treads and socks if wearing sneakers. Slip on rubber agricultural boots are danged hot and have deep treads which collect the grassburs.Going into the house after being outside runs the risk of depositing a grassbur into the carpet. That is a definite barefoot ouch. Tying and untying shoes as many times as I go in an out is a non-starter. Slip on is the only option for me and since the agricultural boots are too hot, I had to find another solution.These boat shoes solve the majority of the problem. They slip on an off so I can remove them upon entering the house. The flat soles enable me to scrape off any grassburs quickly before going into the house, and being fully enclosed leather gives me a second or two to stomp the fire ants off the shoes when they are doing their best to sting me. Finally they don't contribute to the overheating in the hot weather.

For at least 20 – 25 years, I’ve been wearing boat shoes for my everyday, casual wear shoe. I like the way they look and feel. I also appreciate the way these shoes hold up. I can get quite a few years out of a pair of boat shoes before my wife makes me get a new pair. Then the old pair gets relegated to the garage for yard work.I first started wearing Sperry and have tried most brands. This time I chose the Timberland Classic Boat Shoe. I liked the way it looks. I like the fit, comfortable but not too snug. It has a nice built up arch support. The shoe is nice leather uppers and the standard rubber sole for traction on wet surfaces. I no longer am active in sailing, but this shoe is a great deck shoe.It is well made. And has the leather shoe lace.These are much more competitively priced that most other brands. I cannot tell the difference in the quality of this shoe compared to the more expensive brands. It is easy to tell the difference in the price.Looks Great, Wears Well, Fantastic Pricing.

Ordered the same shoe (the old shoes were worn out) in size 8 (reg) just as the old shoes. However, I got the new shoes and they were too tight both width and lengt wise. So I returned the new shoes and got my credit back on my account. Proceeded to re-order the same shoe, but this time in size 8.5 Wide. I received the shoes a few days later and they fit right out of the box. The other difference I noticed between my old worn out shoes and these new ones are the inside sole changed from being a "24/7 formed one piece sole" to a different type of sole with a seem but looks like a 4/7 sole. I could feel the seam under my feet when just got the shoes on wearing socks. I don't know if that will be an issue as shoes gets worn - I do not expect it to become a problem. The leather and stitching of the shoe is tip top, just as expected from a Timberland leather shoe or boot product (I only wear Timberland shoes or boots & (some of my work boots have steal toe) but all my footwear are made of leather and have the 24/7 insoles)). Highly recommend these shoes.

This is the second time ordering this same shoes but these ones fit way bigger than a size nine..but they are good quality

These fit extremely well and are made very well! They're also very classy looking!

Let me start off by saying that I've bought two pairs of these shoes, one for me about a year ago, and one for my dad for Christmas this year, and unfortunately had to send his back due to the sizing being a bit off (my fault). I've heard a lot of grief about Timberland shoes in the past few years, that the quality is bad and that the shoe falls apart. Honestly, this depends on the buyer, and what pair you're given; but I can honestly say that I've had my pair for over a year now, and they've held up fantastic. The leather has darkened nicely, shines up pretty well too. The sole has a nice non-slip texture, and at first glance, I was skeptical, but after wearing them in the rain, I can say that it does work. The only problem I've had with the shoes is that there isn't really an insole (which doesn't bother me), and that the very small lifts that we in mine had come loose: probably the glue that held them there wore off. I just put some glue I had laying around on them to hold them in place and that solved the problem.

I've been wearing Timberland's for 30 or more years and unlike so many other products, they have not changed one iota. I live on the coast of Florida and fish all the time, and they are the best deck shoe on the market. They are so easy to slip on that I wear them as my house shoe as well, and I just recently retired a pair after 8 or so years of wearing them every day. They are so well-made that they still hadn't come apart anywhere; they had just gotten kind of worn out. I guess I'm writing this to thank Timberland for a great shoe for a lot of years, and not getting cheap with the construction of it. In today's market, $60 is a steal for a deck shoe of this caliber. Thanks.
