I ordered this boot rather reluctantly after searching for the same style in other brands and not finding one in my price range.  I had owned a pair of Timberland hiking boots a while ago that were not actually effective for hiking.  This had turned my opinion of their shoes a bit sour.  This pair of boots turns that around.

The quality of the leather, as other posters noted, is superior.  It is hard to find boots of this quality at this price in stores where I live.  The sizing was a little weird.  I ordered my "new" size (my feet have gone up a half-size), and I can see what other posters were talking about with the boot's length being a bit out of proportion.

Also, they do start out on the narrow side, but I have worn them for a few weeks now with thin insoles and regular boot socks and, sure enough, the leather is relaxing to conform to the shape of my foot.  This was without discomfort, so if you get these and they are pinching at all, go a half-size up.

The boot is comfy, warm and breathable now, and I am very happy with my purchase.  I have even worn them on rainy days, and they didn't stain.  Style-wise, I would have preferred it with a wider toebox, but this is Timberland, not Frye.  I am satisfied!
