Men at Work: Timberland Boots That Go the Distance

There are plenty of “work boot” options out there available for guys—they’ve got the rough-and-tumble look and the thick sole, but are they really suited to manual labor? Flimsy leather, unprotected toes and easily degraded soles make most work boots more of a fashion statement than utilitarian necessity. That’s where Timberland comes in.

Timberland boots take the work boot into practical territory while remaining super-stylish, leaving their would-be competitors in the dust. Throw in the company’s impressive corporate ethics, and you’ve got a work boot to be proud of.

Upper Echelon

The uppers of Timberland boots are always made of the highest quality nubuck leather. This means that they’re moldable to your foot, age beautifully and, thanks to their waterproof membrane, keep your feet warm and dry even in inclement weather. While the company’s trademark gold color is a classic choice when choosing a boot,they also come in a range of other shades from sleek black to refreshing green.

Fit To Be Tied

It might sound like something out of a slapstick gag, but tripping over untied shoelaces is no joke, especially in a work setting. With the wrong circumstances, you could get seriously injured. Timberland’s laces are 100% post-recycled content and guaranteed to stay tied no matter how much you move around. Knot into a pair of Tims and feel safe going into any situation.

Sole Man

A properly tractioned sole is the most important factor in the design of a good pair of work boots. When done correctly, a rubber lug sole can prevent slips and falls and even improve your stride. Timberland’s rugged soles are oil-proof and non-marking, so you can go from the worksite to the bar without changing out of your dependable boots.

Toe Tips

You know what’s worse than stubbing your toe? Dropping something incredibly heavy on them. A toe injury might sound peripheral at first, but when you injure this little part you’re effectively reducing or eliminating your ability to walk. Whether you’re working construction or helping a buddy move, your toes need as much protection as they can get. Timberland boots’ steel toes make falling objects nothing to be afraid of.

Live up to the label of “work boot” with Timberlands that can help you do the dirtiest of jobs—not to mention their rugged good looks.

You better work—in Timberlands, of course.
