BUY A HALF SIZE LARGER! This is my second pair of Timberlands and I had to return both they fit exactly the same. Despite the reviews saying 86% proper fit. It definately wasn't for me.  I liked the look of these however they are well made and the people that said they eyelet fell out. I cannot see how. That is a nice metal grommit into REALLY well made leather. Also.. these SURE look waterproof too untill you go over your ankle?

Great shoes but they are out of 9.5s

Oh and like the last review. I probably have 30 pairs of shoes/boots/hiking boots in the closet.. Everything except for a pair of old Teva hiking boots (size 10) are a size 9. EVERYTHING. Ive been buying that size for 20 years now.
