Initially, I was thrilled to find nice looking, simple boots by Timberland - a brand I trust. I have three other pairs of shoes by timberland that I love. These boots had been parked in my "buy later" cart for a month so I snapped them up when the price dropped.

I usually wear an 8.5 or 9 and my other timberland's are 9s so based on the suggestions from some of the other reviewers I went up in size and ordered a 9.

OK , great looking boot for running around town or whatever. I planned to wear them year round and especially on the motorcycle this summer. I wore them around the house for an hour and they felt great, if anything, a little tight in the toes. So the next day I wore them out and they felt pretty loose in the heels. by the time I got home a couple hours later they were so loose I could kick them off without pulling and my heel was sore from the loose boot rubbing on my heel while I walked.

I'm not sure if I can return them or will need to give them away but I'm pretty sure they're too loose for me to wear.

Update:

I really wanted these boots to work so I just throw on some thick socks and wear them when we're on the bike. Still wish I'd ordered an 8.5 and they would be perfect!
