Bought a pair of these from another website and initially like them but about 8 months later the sole split and allowed water into the shoe. Liked the fact that Timberland replaced the shoes free of charge, ( i had to pay for shipping). Only problem is that the new pair also split within 6-8 months later. Granted I put some high mileage on the shoes but the shoes were only worn down half way when they split both times. Supposed to be rugged but apparently not for work.
