It appears that Timberland has now two distinct models of their excellent Chocorua Boots: The "original" one, with Gore-Tex lining, and this particular model (with "p2i" coating), which costs less, but is an inferior product.

I've used Chocoruas for a number of years now. They're lightweight, waterproof, comfortable and require no break-in period.

As my current pair is about to give, I searched for "Chocorua" on Amazon and ordered this product (not paying a lot of attention to the picture -- the price difference should have been a warning sign.) I can tell you, this is a completely different product and should have another name. These boots are not nearly as comfortable as the original model. They look more like hiking shoes/sneakers than hiking boots. They fit poorly compared to the original Chocoruas, and the waterproofing, apparently, not as good.

It appears to me that the original ones went up sharply in price (they used to sell for $78 and now is difficult to find one for less than $100) and they came up with a cheaper version (this product.)
