LOVED FOR: A perfectly fitting, lightweight, and waterproof boot

USERS SAID: "The sole of the shoe is thick enough to really protect your feet from the rocks and imperfections you will encounter on the trail. These boots also have the rubber covered toe which is nice for protection while hiking and seems well put together. The weight feels pretty light as well so it is not like lugging around bricks on your feet while hiking."

HELPFUL TIP: These boots are available in wide, narrow, and regular.

LOVED FOR: Boots that fit like a glove from the get-go and need no break-in period

BEST FOR: Thanks to Timberland's anti-fatigue technology, these boots are perfect for both the trails and the streets.

USERS SAID: "I was so impressed with how comfortable and durable these boots are... They have a nice wide toe box that provides room to move your toes. The way the laces lock at the top allows you to pull the laces tight around your ankle without cinching up the rest. This is amazing to keep your toes from going numb while keeping the boots firmly fastened to your feet." 

LOVED FOR: A comfortable, waterproof design that will last for years

BEST FOR: Getting a grip on difficult terrain

LOVED FOR: Lightweight precision and foothold needed for technical ascents and descents

USERS SAID: "All materials are true to their description and it looks and feels like a genuinely crafted boot. I have walked through puddles and snow in these boots and my feet not only stay warn but the shoe is truly waterproof. A nice addition is that the shoe dries fairly quickly when returning indoors, and keeps its stylish look wherever you may go."

HELPFUL TIP: These aren't insulated, so make sure to wear thick socks in the winter.
