I placed the order for these boots and expected that they would arrive while I was away.  But to my surprise, they arrived right on schedule!  The box was not damaged even though it was shipped using USPS.  They are great boots, very comfortable.  I haven't really worn them that much yet so they still need to be broken in.

Although I gave them 4 out of 5 stars I would have given them 5 out of 5 if there was a way for me to get an exact measurement for the size I needed.  I even went to Timberland's web site and expected to be able to print out a size chart. If it was there I did not find it.  I would recommend that anyone selling shoes should have available a downloadable/printable size chart. Manufacturers shoes/boots are not made to exact sizes and they all seem to vary.
