I just grabbed these on sale - my first shot with Timberlands. I'm a land steward in central PA and the miles rack up quickly. On quality boots the treads tend to wear out on my boots before anything else, not so on my last pair of Merrells- which got up to around 300 miles before the seams on both sides of both toe boxes opened up and blew out.Regarding these Timberlands, the foot bed is deep enough to accommodate my orthopedic insoles, which is a must-have for me. They are stiff, especially around the ankle, but that's going to change with some break-in time. They are otherwise comfortable with an decently spacious toe box and are very VERY light. Suspiciously light. The sides are quite thin, so their long term durability will depend entirely upon the quality of ... MoreI just grabbed these on sale - my first shot with Timberlands.

This is my third pair of this same boot. I've had two in Wide width and one in regular. I absolutely love this boot. It is comfortable, breathes well while still being waterproof, looks good, and is very reasonably priced.I have used this boot in a variety of environments: hiking, working in restaurants, everyday casual use, and even going out. The mostly leather upper makes it a much better looking boot for some environments than a more technical-looking hiker. And performance-wise, this was my go-to pair of everyday shoes when I was rehabilitating a reconstructed ACL and wanted the best traction and stability with light weight.Couldn't recommend this boot more. Is it going to last ten years? Probably not. But for $100 this shoe is extremely comfortable and ... MoreThis is my third pair of this same boot. I've had two in Wide width and one in regular.

I've been wearing my Timberlands for about 6 months now. I'd just come off a pair of hunting/hiking boots that had lasted four straight years of wear nearly every day in every season—only to find the company went out of business. Understandably, I was skeptical of any other new shoe option. I wanted hikers that had a relaxed, leather-like appearance that could go along with anything in nearly every environment whether I was hiking 14ers or running around in my day job in restaurant management. I also have a condition called plantar fasciitis, which means I HAVE to have good support. Quite a bit of criterion for a single pair of boots to meet.So what about these shoes then? Like my last boots, these have been worn almost every single day. I have taken them ... MoreI've been wearing my Timberlands for about 6 months now.

I also have a condition called plantar fasciitis, which means I HAVE to have good support. Quite a bit of criterion for a single pair of boots to meet.So what about these shoes then? Like my last boots, these have been worn almost every single day. I have taken them mountain/trail hiking on both groomed trails and trails packed with ice, dogsledding in the dead of winter, trudging through rain, and have worn them for 12hr long shifts of constant movement. My consensus is that they make for excellent, flexible (once broken-in), supportive workboots and they are suitable for groomed and light to moderately rocky trails, but I would not choose these for a technical trail or climb.A few notes on concerns from other reviews when I first considered purchasing these:1. Yes, there is a brass eyelet on the inside of the front ankle and it definitely rubbed at first, but after a week or two of wear, they never bothered me again. Just needed breaking-in.2. These boots are waterproof. I have not had any issues with puddles or rain (so long as water doesn't get in through the top obv) and the shoe soles and tread have held up well. The small rubber tab up near the front of the toe has started to separate from the boot, but it has not affected the waterproof quality at all. I have dumped buckets worth of water on my feet and they have stayed dry.3. They are insulated, but not to the degree of a winter boot. I have worn them in snow and that is just fine, but after a while it does start to get cold around the toes. Insulated but the Gore-tex isn't on par with real, winter insulated boots, but that is to be expected if you want to be wearing these all summer long.4. As someone with an inconvenient foot condition requiring specific insoles in all shoes, these both have the space and the support to accommodate orthopedic inserts (unlike the Oboz I tried a few years back).5. They scuff pretty easily but hiking boots aren't meant to be pretty and cute. If you're gonna wear these daily, they're gonna look like you actually live life.All in all, I have been impressed with this shoe and all that I have put it through in just a few months. So far it has performed as expected, especially as a work boot. I would definitely take these on a well-maintained trail, on day hikes of one or two day overnights in the backcountry, but for particularly technical or intense hikes maybe look for a more expensive shoe.

I know $120 doesn't buy a great boot, but I figured that if these were at REI they couldn't be all that bad. Right? Well, they are. They felt reasonably comfortable in the store, but the insoles have bottomed out since then and are now only a couple millimeters thick under my heels. When I pulled them out, I also realized that these boots seem to have no midsole other than a thin, hard plastic layer. Overall, the boot just feels really cheap. I cannot comfortably walk over rough terrain, use a shovel, or do any other strenuous activity in these boots. The leather is quite thin, so they won't offer much protection either. Lastly, I have worked in them five days (landscaping), and the single-stitched seam across the ball of the foot is beginning to pull apart on the ... MoreI know $120 doesn't buy a great boot, but I figured that if these were at REI they couldn't be all that bad.

Owned for 3 years. I wear them for work and go hiking after work on south mountain in Phoenix. I moved from Alabama and did a lot of hiking in the deep woods too. The laces are long so double knot is required. The insole is garbage so buy a replacement asap. Never noticed water getting in on wet hikes so seem to be good enough for waterproofing. I bought the wides because I have wider feet and get gout flares so extra room is necessary. I also motorcycle and like the extra layer of protection they provide. Overall good boots for the price. Just bought second pair and added photos of both pairs.
Riddle: What Mount Albert, Gros Morne, L'Acropole des Draveurs or Table Lands all have in common?Answer: MEN'S MT. MADDSEN WATERPROOF HIKING BOOTS (black)At the end of all these hikes, they were in a way better shape than I was, but I would be in an almost catastrophic situation without them. Boy, I wish I could have these during my military service! They are life savers. Correction: they are feet, knees and back savers. But sorry, you still have to do the walking, they don't do it for you. I have weak ankles and bad knees, and I still managed to do all these hikes with the help of these boots. The medium ankle support (leather) is good enough for an average-difficult hike and holds you tight enough to avoid blisters or toes pain due to excessive foot play inside ... MoreRiddle: What Mount Albert, Gros Morne, L'Acropole des Draveurs or Table Lands all have in common?Answer: MEN'S MT.

The medium ankle support (leather) is good enough for an average-difficult hike and holds you tight enough to avoid blisters or toes pain due to excessive foot play inside (especially downhill). But the strength of these boots is the multiple layers sole. The inner one is comfortable yet stiff enough to support your foot well (after wearing them 14 hours my feet were not sore yet) and to attenuate the walking and jumping impacts: it did not kill my knees going downhill (low vibrations and stress to the ankles, knees, legs and toes). Note: I wore these pair of shoes without breaking them in with no problems!!! The outer layer is strong and durable enough to match the mountain trails hardness while it has a safe grip on rocks (wet and dry) or dusty trails, uphill and downhill. And all of these at a fraction of the price of a "specialized" pair of boots. Disclaimer: I did not use them in winter/slash conditions or marsh, only summer/vacation time.
Bought my first pair of these Mt. Maddsen boots years ago and are still in great shape but I simply needed a larger size due to some changes in my feet over the years. Mostly use them nowadays for doing heavy yardwork, occasional hiking, when it snows, and for walking the dog in the slush/rain. Yes, for me they have always kept my feet dry. The soles still have years of tread left in them, the uppers while a bit scuffed are not showing any signs of weakness or busting through, the bottoms have not shown any signs of separation from the uppers, the soles inside are in perfect shape. Literally, these shoes are amazing and I could fully expect this purchase to be the last pair I ever buy unless I live long enough to outgrow these new ones!
After less than a month of wear the sole has begun to separate from the rest of the boot. On both boots the sole is peeling on the toe box. I work in somewhat damp conditions outdoors so I'm used to my sole peeling off however I've never had a pair began to go bad so quickly. I'd be surprised if I get another month out of them before they fully peel off. I can typically get about 8+ months out of my boots before the sole separates and needs reglued and then another ~8 months before they need trashed. Shame, the boots are very comfy and fit well. I expected more out of a boot that's marketed as "waterproof." Good price but now I know why. Will not stand up to everyday wear but would be good for the occasional wear
As a truck driver I’m always searching for boots that fit like shoes and are comfortable and durable and waterproof. I’m pleasantly surprised with these. So much I bought another pair for non work wear. My only small complaint is the laces are too long. But not a big deal. They are comfortable for walking and driving all day. Also they keep my feet dry when I get out in muddy jobsites or quarries. Next time I need boots I won’t hesitate to buy another pair.
This is a good-looking boot, and of course, it will depend on your feet whether it fits. I have been wearing Timberland boots in this make/range for over a decade, so I (stupidly) ordered a pair of the Maddsen's in my size from the US as Timblerand Canada was out of stock (and still is). However this version of the boot features a sole with a higher heel-to-toe drop than previous editions; it must be at least 10mm, closer to a running shoe design, but in a boot. The higher heel perches the foot forward, resulting in heel lift inside the boot and rub across the lacing on the instep. Combined with little ankle support in the boot for the medial arch, and any (over)pronation results in ankle roll. The forefoot of the boot is also quite wide, which, if the heel was ... MoreThis is a good-looking boot, and of course, it will depend on your feet whether it fits.

The forefoot of the boot is also quite wide, which, if the heel was properly secured would be fine, but as it isn't, it means that the foot also torques laterally inside the boot. In short, if your feet pronate (roll inwards) or if you have insoles or orthotics, this is not a well-fitting boot for the activities it is designed for, and would be better served with a sole without a heel rise, which would accomodate sports insoles and (over)pronating feet.
