I always buy good quality shoes. They will last a long time if you take care of them.

These shoes fit true to size for me (12D) with a little extra room but not too loose. I like the extra room, so I can wear thick socks on cold days.

These shoes are a bit heavier in weight than my other shoes, but not so much that I notice it when wearing them..

The leather quality and finish is excellent on the oiled brown . These can be oiled (my choice) or polished or both. Oiling helps keep the leather soft and moisturized and looking good for a long time. It also helps repel water. I use&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Leather-Honey-Leather-Conditioner-the-Best-Leather-Conditioner-8oz-Bottle/dp/B003IS3HV0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Leather Honey Leather Conditioner, the Best Leather Conditioner 8oz Bottle</a>&nbsp;on all my shoes and belts once a year minimum. It will darken some light color leathers, but usually lightens near the original color after a few days.

The soles of these shoes are a little thicker and have deeper traction treads than other casual shoes I have but not so much as to look like hiking shoes. Perfect for dressy casual.

These shoes do require a little longer to break in than other shoes I have. But once broken it they are even better.

This is my first purchase of Timberland casual shoes. Overall very good shoes, high quality and comfortable. Would definitely buy these again.

Tip:
My feet sweat a lot in hot, and cold weather. So, after a days use the inside of my shoes are damp and that eventually causes smelly shoes. A few months ago I saw this shoe dryer on Amazon's gold box specials and bought it:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/PEET-Dryer-M97-FSB-Original-2-Shoe-Electric-Dryer-Black/dp/B001J4HQ76/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">PEET Dryer M97-FSB Original 2-Shoe Electric Dryer, Black</a>&nbsp;. In the few months I've had it, my shoe odor has declined dramatically. My son has the same feet as me, so I use it on his stinky shoes to. :) Note that it only helps reduce foot odor if you use it while the shoes are damp. Does nothing if your shoes are dry already. This dryer does not have a timer or on/off switch, so I use&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Belkin-Conserve-Socket-F7C009q-Energy-Saving-Outlet/dp/B003P2UMS0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Belkin Conserve Socket F7C009q Energy-Saving Outlet</a>&nbsp;and set it for 3 hours. Works great.
