I've long been a fan of Timberland footwear, but haven't had an occasion to purchase any new shoes from them in a while - basically, because the original footwear I bought has lasted a long time. Looking for a shorter boot with some heel to it, but not an ankle boot, I came across the Earthkeeper Nevali Mid Boot. I love it. It looks great, and is very comfortable, even with the higher heel it is easy to walk in it. The only con is the sizing - I've always had to go up a half or full size with Timberland, especially with shoes with heels, so be aware of that. I am usually a 6.5 but went with a 7.5 in the Timberland boot and it fits perfectly.
