Timberland
There has been a long-standing popularity among many people for Timberland boots.
Timberland was originally created with manual labourers in mind. Cold and harsh conditions required boots that were functional and warm above all - something that still holds true decades later.
The boots are waterproof and made of Premium Timberland® Leather. ReBOTLTM material is used for the lining, which is also eco-friendly.
The American brand's innovative designs have become staples in modern fashion, from the Yellow 6-inch Boot to the 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe.
With sustainability in mind, the boots are also designed for durability.

Shop allThe Technology of Timberland
Timberland's leather boots are completely waterproof thanks to injection molding, which seamlessly bonds the soles to the uppers.
For all-day comfort, anti-fatigue technology provides standing comfort, shock absorption, and energy return.
Greenstride technology involves recycled materials being used in the construction of the shoes, with 75% renewable materials produced from sugarcane and natural rubber.
As part of Timberland's Timberloop program, Timberland also breaks down used products and recycles materials to minimize waste and environmental impact.
Timberland's History
1952
It was Nathan Swartz who developed the boots to cope with the rugged landscapes of Boston, Massachusetts. Swartz was an experienced shoemaker who created the first waterproof boots. His son, Sidney Swartz, assisted him in this process. A brand was then formed around the model created by Sidney's son Jeffrey.
1955
In 1955, Swartz bought The Abington Shoe Company in Boston, and moved it to the cold, rugged terrain of New England.
1973
"The Original Timberland® 8-inch Boot" was introduced, a boot that was primarily designed for New England workers. It was very popular with non-workers as well due to its sturdy silhouette.
The boot's success led Swartz to change the company's name the same year. Under the new name Timberland, Abington Shoe Company was rebranded.
1976
A new variant of Timberland®'s 8-inch boot has been released; the 6-inch boot. With a lower collar, this pair was even more successful than its predecessor.
1990s
Hip-hop welcomed Timberland's 6-inch boot in the 1990s. Artists such as Tupac, Biggie, members of the Wu-Tang Clan and Diddy were seen in the classic boot.
Timberland Today
Timberland's silhouettes continue to be popular in the work, life, and outdoor scenes.
The brand aims to achieve a positive environmental impact by 2030 by giving more than it takes. They plan for 100% of their natural materials to be sourced from regenerative agriculture, and 100% of their products to be designed for circularity.
Over the past few years, A-COLD-WALL, Supreme, OFF-WHITE, and Stüssy have partnered with the outdoor brand.
