for more than 25 years I have been buying and wearing Timberland shoes, I have never been disappointed.
These shoes are comfortable enough to wear without socks upon arrival no breaking them in.
When I 1st started wearing Timberland shoes they were made in New Hampshire, then they moved thier manufacturing to China and I was a bit leery , but they have maintained thier standards and the shoes continue to be great. I hope to be buying and wearing them for another 25 + years.
