My husband loves Timberland shoes because he says they last longer than other brands of dress shoes and they are more comfortable. He wears them everyday and is very hard on shoes. He likes that these are waterproof and have good tread on the bottom because he works in sales at a car dealership and is on his feet all day. He has to go out and shovel and remove snow from cars too while dressed up so he has to have waterproof shoes with good tread.
