I really want to like and keep these boots. I bought the black colour. They were 30% off which made them much more appealing at the time, but I will be returning them shortly. I should have believed other reviewers who commented that they were true to size. I am a solid 8.5 for most boots and shoes (other than athletic) and ordered a 9. They are too big.

In terms of quality, they just aren't what I was expecting for a Timberland product. I've pined over other Timberland boots in the past when I've seen them displayed in a store, but these don't seem as well made or solid compared to what I'm used to seeing with this brand.

I'm thinking of ordering the knee high version of these which I've seen in person... truthfully, they are what I should have sprung for in the first place.
