Baby Gear Resale: Timberland Searched months to find the ultimate hiker-style boot for heavy-duty yard work and general wear. Boots had to offer at least waterproof properties and a safety toe. Tried Chippewa IQ- 6" Composite Toe #55161 but found them lacking for reasons explained in my review for them. Also considered Timberland PRO Titan Trekker #53526's but ordered a pair of these Timberland PRO #85520's for not much more money and have found them to be keepers.Besides the safety toe and attractive, rich-brown color of the waterproof leather upper and membrane, the boots feature metal lace eyelets and the speed loops even have alternative lace holes not apparent on images. And because of the full grain leather upper, I expect these boots will clean easy with a splash from the garden hose. I frankly prefer the more aggressive sole of the Chippewa's to assist on hills but this boot's rubber sole also seems durable. Vibram soles like those offered on Red Wing 6674's would have been ideal. Have read of complaints about the sole separating from some Timberland Pro's and cracking but time will tell whether that's an issue. Also like the bumpers on the toe and back. Boots feel neither light nor heavy and unlike the Chippewa's, these boots don't feel loose as they have a fourth loop toward the toe box. Rather than mittens, the boots feel like gloves.
lovely, colorful and light! my baby was so happy to have such a nice shoes so he carries them with hands instead! :)
Baby Gear Resale: I bought these boots to hike and to hunt, and I think these will be excellent for both.These boots are a little stiff at first, especially at the top! Don't dispair -- after you put a few miles on them though, they are fine.Spent last Saturday hiking, and stayed comfortable all the time. No blisters or calluses.I also noticed that these boots are pretty quiet, which will be important for hunting.
