I have to admit that I have not even tried on these boots. I bought them for my upcoming trip to Alaska so my wife and I can hike the beautiful trails. I will be wearing them soon so as to work in the boots. But I do know quite a bit about Timberland products and have owned various merchandise that has shown to be of the up most quality. The boots look to be made well and I have every confidence that they will function greatly for our Alaskan trip. My wife purchased similar boots from Timberland as well.
