I have owned a pair of Timberland Women's Hiking boots since I was in my 20's or 30's. I am in my 60's and I still love my Timberlands. They are so well made I have never had to have anything repaired on them. They are comfortable. These are an updated version of what I have but they look like they are just as well made and comfortable as my old ones. When you get a pair of boots that last more than one season, you know you have something great. They truly never go out of style due to the type of boot they are. I would recommend this brand to anyone. I have had a love for them for so long.
