Timberland, as we know it, is a company forged in the ever-changing weather of New England. From blazing hot summer to frigidly cold winters, Timberland knows what you need from your boots. The company, originally called the Abington Shoe Company, was renamed “Timberland” in 1978 due to the waterproof Timberland boots invented in 1973. These boots were the answer to cold, wet weather that rough-condition workers and commuters alike had to deal with throughout the year.
Timberland would go on to become an incredibly environmentally and socially conscious company. Employees are encouraged to complete community volunteer work throughout the year. In addition, Timberland prides itself on donating to groups that support green initiatives and practicing those same green initiatives during its manufacturing and selling processes.
Today, Timberland makes shoes and boots for all occasions. Their casual line is designed for amazing comfort and style, while their classic Timberland 6” Waterproof Boots (and variations on them) are perfect for hiking, working outside, or trekking through snow. Some boots are equipped with a warm lining and waterproof coating that make them perfect for snowy, cold days. If you’re concerned about styling the classic boots, just pair them up with jeans or joggers, or check out some of the celebs spotted wearing them when they’re out running errands. They go effortlessly with a casual tee and jeans combo during warmer weather, or bulkier winter clothing when temperatures drop.
When it comes time to size your boots or shoes, remember that the work boots or winter boots might run slightly large to make room for thicker socks, but the casual line of shoes runs true to size. Plus, you can find Timberland boots in women’s, men’s, and kids’ sizes, so everyone in the family will always have a pair.
