BRAND
This is the classic yellow boot that made the Timberland Company so famous.
Well-liked since their 1973 release, they reached icon status in the 90’s hip-hop community and now you can find them from the feet of rich hipsters to construction workers to rappers and everyone in between.
** FULL REVIEW + PHOTOS HERE: stridewise.com... **
FIRST GLANCE
This is the classic 6” wheat nubuck waterproof boot - the one you picture when you hear “Timberlands.” They’ve got a Gripstick rubber lug outsole, Taslan nylon laces, and PrimaLoft insulation, which accounts for most of the two pound weight. Overall, they’re pretty bulky and relatively versatile.
LEATHER
These Tims are made from waterproof wheat nubuck. Nubuck is a kind of top-grain leather that’s been sanded to give a slight nap to the protein fibers. It’s similar to suede, but heartier, and it won’t develop a patina over time.
** More about the differences between nubuck and suede here: stridewise.com... **
LEATHER CARE
The boots are already waterproof, and the processing that goes into that means that the usual leather conditioners won’t work on. The nubuck gets dirty really easily, and Timberland recommends brushing with a nylon brush to get the dirt out of the fibers and raise the nap.
If your boots get stained, you can use a pencil eraser to get rid of spots or, if they need a deeper clean, Timberland sells a proprietary water-based cleaner called “Renewbuck” that should take care of salt stains and other messes.

SOLE
The Gripstick rubber outsole is very, very sticky at first but wears off a bit over time; there’s also a rubber midsole, urethane insole, and removable foam insert. The materials won’t mold to your foot over time the way leather and cork will, but they’re comfortable out of the box. There’s also a steel shank that makes for really nice arch support.
The sole is bonwelted, which isn't crazy different to regular cemented soles like you get on sneakers. Since it’s not stitched like a Goodyear welt would be, it’s much more difficult to resole, which means that once you wear through these soles, you’ve basically got to replace the boot. They’re popular enough, though, that there are some cobblers that specialize in resoling Tims, if you want to look for one in your area.
FIT & SIZING
Available in full and half sizes up to size 18, and I recommend going down a half size from your sneaker size (particularly if you’re into the open laced look that’s so popular).
Great shock absorption, easy to walk around in, nice arch support, and don’t really have a break-in period; overall, they’re comfy boots.
PRICE
Between $160 and $180, which feels about right given the quality of the materials used and the welting on the sole.
TIMBERLAND 6” PREMIUM WATERPROOF BOOT: WORTH THE HYPE?
For their price, they’re a pretty damn good boot. They’re hard to keep clean and to resole, but they’re also waterproof, insulated, and comfortable; at the end of the day, they’re not much more expensive than a pair of sneakers but they’ll last you a hell of a lot longer.

Can confirm they're definately great boots for the average drug dealer, since I bought my timberlands I've gotten an extra 27 points in street cred, and can stay out in the cold longer, I used sell 3.5oz of coke per night now I'm getting 5 ounces. They're definately worth the investment for the local street pharmacist. The only downside is that they're a bit harder to drive in when you're doing drive by shootings.
Lose the laces. And let me know how it went..
Roger1379 that why they invented driving shoes! Exclusively for that elegant set!
Bruh 😂
Lmao, nicely done bruh.
Roger1379 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 best one
Tims is one of the most durable boots out there and dont worry about a few little scuffs, they just make the boots look better
KickYoAsses1 for real. They’re perfect.
Mine survived stomping a fire out and I still wear them with my scorched Levi's. My girlfriend even wears her jeans with the melted rubber footprints and scorched ass. LOL
Have you ever used your boots to put a fire out.?
ruclips.net/video/JGfs3VPQK_c/видео.html
@@wilsjane LoL!!!!
I also wear Levis and Timberlands at the same time XD
Wow everybody is so similar.
+Gabriel Tobing. Have you ever had to stomp a fire out, or run through burning grass wearing them.? Here in the UK, people living on farms or in the country did it all the time, but people from the city think that it is crazy and assume that my jeans will catch alight.
Have you ever noticed in the old western films that when the cowboy runs out of the burning barn, he is always wearing Levi's or Wrangler's
over his boots, because they are virtually fireproof.
@Google Account who da hell wear them for work any more???
I've had the same pair of these for almost 30 years on the original sole. I wore them to work most days for a number of years, and they've taken me all over the world. I've never done anything to maintain them other than rinse or brush off mud and dirt. They have never failed me. The lower part of the outsole finally started to come unglued recently, but that was easily fixed. Best pair of boots I've ever had.
1 pair for 30 years? 😲
@@watchkev Yep. I'm not too hard on my stuff, but I've worn them a fair bit over the years, especially when I first got them.
30 years is just crazy. Mine is 4 years still going strong
30 years?? That’s crazy!
@@thecapone45 I have to wonder if a new pair would wear as well. They were a new thing in Australia back then, and they were really expensive. I think I paid AUD$375 in 1994. Today they cost AUD$299. 🤔
I've had 5 pairs of these boots since I was 16. Once broken in they are incredibly comfortable and very durable. My only mistake was buying a limited edition pair with a canvas style upper. They didn't fit quite right and felt like they were a size too big.
If you get the leather version they will last years if regularly brushed and polished.
you're a real new yorker now my guy
Deadass.
isnt he a kiwi?
Not if you put your pants over the tongue of the boot. Cuz if you do you're a dumbass
abuffnoob boots don’t make the man, man make the boots
@@moneyinso not everyone wears them to be a wanna be looking thug. I actually have class. But if you wear them barely laced up, all loose with baggy pants walking in a sway then good for you.
I wear 11.5 shoes and the guy who helped me recommend a 10.5, really good recommendation!!! Fit prefect!!
So it's true to get a full size smaller? I need a pair before I go to Mexico and I'm leaving next Monday. 😬
"timbs for my hooligans in brooklyn"
Did biggie die wearing Timbs?
8BitGamer4life naw he probably had some Versace on
Enzo Ferrari ya some Versace shoes some designer shit you no he was at his album release party dressed like a don when he got shot up i doubt he would be wearing Timbs but who no you can look it up they have pics of his party
I love my Timberlands,...have several pairs. Well made with quad-stitching, smooth leather and they are comfortable, and look great. But I just bought my first pair of Red Wings...Blacksmiths in copper to be exact, and this is other-level leather. The smell and feel of the leather is superb, and the old world craftsmanship is awesome.
Eyyy, welcome to the world of the Goodyear welt! Timberlands are great for what they are, but boy, Red Wings are next level
How did they hold up? Its more expensive and they didn't look as warm when I was looking into them
Im obsessed with boots and timberland is on my top list
Hope you enjoy them, Hitono!
I've just ordered my first pair of Timberland premiums and can't wait to get them on, I just hope buying half a size less than my usual size is the right fit!
Just got my first ever pair and they are extre.ely comfortable. I normally wear a 10.5 in all my shoes, but felt that the timberlands were just a tad on the large size for my feet. Tried on the 10, fits like a glove absolutely amazing. Will be my daily wear from now on!
Yeah they really are comfy shoes for something so sturdy, Andrew! Glad you like em.
hi dear, what is your foot's lenght?
im an 11, would you recommend going down a size or half a size?
Just saw the video now, last year I bought two red 6 inch Timbs very cheap here in Brazil, Timberland has left our country and there was a sale. You will not believe how much each cost, something like 40 us dollars, just because they were red, original. Made in the Dominican Republic and I checked the serial number. Painted one pair black and something incredible happened, a lot of people stop me on the streets praising just the red pair, they are really cool. Although the yellow boot would never cost less, so I could never buy them, but red is not a common color in Brazil so I was lucky.
Got pair a pair few days ago. They are hard rock solid good looking boots.
It's not everyone cup of tea, They are hard, not so flexible boots. You have plenty of other boots way more flexible and comfy..
Still none comes close to their style, quality material and linings and stylish.
I have other pairs including the updated Radford from Timberland too way lighter.
Still when you were these, they are incredible. You have to break them in first, but the insoles are great and they eventually get softer and easier to your feet.
These are the type of boots , that you get the feeling you're wearing a classic never runs out of trend, and will always look great, being casual, or not so casual you name it
Winter proof ready too, waterproof for those rainy days or even snow due to prima loft inline .
So choosing these boots you already know what you're looking for, and you want long last pair of boots. For those who haven't tried or are re using them like me give it a try. They have improved, the insole anti fatigue is comfortable for long wearing periods.
A classic that never runs out of fashion..
These things were popular waaay before the 1990s. They were all the rage when I grew up in Philly in the mid-80s.
I say that in the video haha, they just got a lot more popular in the 90s.
Still are
Timberlands and Herman Survivors were all the rage in high school 1985-1989.
I got mine for $125!! They were cheaper at Journey’s and I got a $70 gift card so that dropped the out of pocket price for me significantly. 3 years later, I flatiron brought these bad boys up from $170 or so.
These are worth the money, even better value when people sell them lightly used under half price. Comfy and well built boots. I love that you can just put them on and walk without the need to lace them but i lace them like a normal person
Just wanted to say I just recently got my second pair of timberlands, and I got the heritage boots. They come in a few colors of full grain leather which is just easier to care for. My old tims are the basics, in a gray nubuck. I didnt want the wheat nubuck cuz I figured it has to be hard to keep clean, lol. But the basics aren't terrible if you add a decent insole.
Nice review Nick. For the price point, I agree that these boots are a good value. Not that much more money than a pair of ‘throw aways’. Another fine production! Thanks.
I bought a pair of MOC toes similiar to these. After a year, I realized I hated nubuck leather. So, I cleaned the boots with Fiebing's saddle soap and massaged mink oil into the leather. I repeated the oiling process three times. Once every two or three months I reapply a light amount mink oil. Now, the boots look awesome.
I’ll second the fact they are hard to keep clean. Salt and grit stain them really easily. They don’t look new for very long but after that they last for ages.
I actually picked up a nice pair of Timberland's limited edition "Winter Extreme Super Boots" the other day in Marshalls for $100. Full-Grain leather with Vibram soles; not a bad deal.
You hit a lot of key points that I think were overlooked on rose anvils video. I love my timbs. I got them for $140 at saks off 5th and have been wearing them instead of sneakers for over a year. You have to make sure you get the ones made in the Dominican Republic rather than Bangladesh. I have a handful of more expensive quality heritage boots but I still like wearing my Timbs. The leather is so soft they feel like slippers. I don’t even lace them. I just tie a knot at the end of the lace to keep them from dragging on the floor. I love the fact that they are waterproof. They are definitely a great all around lifestyle boot. If you are looking for a construction boot I would look into timberland pro.
Thansk a ton mate, very informative! My 90th Timberland were stiched, every cobbler could replace the sole. A shame...
Yerrrrrr was good my guy, I see you with ya Timbs on B.

You know the vibes 🤙
I see a lot of men wear these with slimmer jeans, they just end up stacking them on top of the boots. As far as pricing, these boots are so common that they are pretty easy to find on sale and for around $80 to $100 for a waterproof boot isn’t too bad at all. Also I know these boots get a rap, but now a days these can be worn by anyone and everyone. Tons of people from all walks of life wear them as they are overall solid boots. I know their past rep always comes up however that shouldn’t deter anyone from wearing them.
They look stupid with skinny jeans. If you’re not 30+ and a 90s hip hop head, then stop trying to adopt our stuff!
Why do you care what another man wears? They are work boots but I doubt you do any that requires them.
8BitGamer4life i actually worked for 5 years in a manufacturing facility and wore them every day for a few years before upgrading to redwings. I don’t care how other men wear them as you would note from reading my comment. All I mentioned is ways I have seen these worn and how their wearability far exceeds their previous rep
Friends dont let friends wear skinny jeans ...like ever!
If you are finding premiums for 80-100 dollars then....they are fake knock offs. real timberlands are 150-200 dollars all day every day.
woah did you really put smif n wessun in there, thats deep hip hop
Tims all seasons for ass kickin reasons
I like the feeling of not having to walk around puddles at school now, I just walk through them thanks to the timberland boots
lol, same here Timbs are the best. The only small downside are the deep treads of the sole; after walking for a while they get full of dirt and stuff.
I bought a pair of so called waterproof Timberland boots. The shorter version with 3 lace holes called chucka boots and they leak like a siv despite have waterproof written on them!
Timbs are timeless classics !!!
My timbs have lasted me almost 4 ny winter's. Multiple hikes and 2 years of auto tech training. Still goin strong I definitely recommend a pair
They've gone up in price here in the UK. They were £140 a couple of years ago, they're now £180 ish
just picked them up for 120 from asos
I have better boots but I went out and got a black pair on sale . I live in Toronto. I really like them . I wear mine with jeans and they look great ( I tie them up like regular boots ). If it is raining I wear these . I just use a horse hair brushe on them when i get home . The nubuck is good leather for the money . Thanks for the info on that . Most people don't understand the difference . I wear these in light snow too . Oh and yes they do run big . I went a full size down .
Im from Hamilton! Ive been wanting a blue pair of Timbs for years now i need to get a pair.
My favourite boots ever,I own 3 pairs I have in my big rotation
My timbs from ten years ago with goodyear welted soles have been resoled and I wear them to this day. When I went in the outlet store and couldn't find a single pair that was goodyear welted, I switched to Wolverine 1000 Mile
Handsome boot... the wheat colorway pops
9:10 Honestly, I just wear them and thats it.
I don't try to actively keep them clean, of course I would wash them if there was mud etc, but not full on spotless.
I guess for me its just memories and adventures I've had.
Your accent confuses the hell out of me 😂 Thanks for the review!
My Ultraboosts are US9s but my Tim’s are US8s. Definitely agree that they run bigger 👍🏾
I always laugh when I see people wearing Timberlands in a big city and caring about every single stain.
I am normally a 13EEE in mens or and I can confirm the US13W fits me very well.
Yeah I wouldn't say there are any troubles for wider feet.
Timbs are rugged boots, what’s with the keeping them pristine shit?! They’re made for the outdoors not for catwalks...unbelievable!
Mine survived stomping a fire out and I still wear them with my scorched Levi's. My girlfriend even wears her jeans with the melted rubber footprints and scorched ass. LOL
Have you ever used your boots to put a fire out.?
ruclips.net/video/JGfs3VPQK_c/видео.html
wilsjane why do weird folks like you exist?
wilsjane nah but converse work too somehow
Always glad watching your review Nick. Salam from Indonesia.
I had to wear my Timberlands everywhere in Indo because of the road quality XD
All that stone would poke my foot if I wore my normal shoes.
Thank you for showing me what they look like when you tie the laces up nicely
No problem 👍
Ya saw how my mans laced em and was flowing wit juice 🥤 yeeeerrrrr 🔥🔥🔥
Good review, my favourite boots are still the redwings, but I do have a pair of timberland for muddy days
They run very big. I usualy wear a 12 and with these im a 10.5, nice review.
Yeah they are larrrge
8:22 Except for snow, kinda, I went to the snow with these and the grip fails if the snow is just hard and wet, got a lot of slips, but it may also be due to snow going in between the gaps in the boots so that the grip is a flat surface and so there was no real grip.
Timberlands look so great! I bought 260 dollars for this shoe.
I just got these in black! At least I won't have to worry about staining.
Good review! I love watching your reviews. If its not too much trouble, would or could you make a review for Blundstone boots (the 500's if possible) I've been searching RUclips for a proper review on Blundstone boots (for quality and more importantly- sizing) but no one has made one so far?
A New Yorker's must have!
I'm 41, I've been rocking these since I was 16yrs old.
Its easier to clean if you spray with timberland balm proofer before you start to wear.
Mine has 12 years old and still looks good lol
Didn’t realize those were so popular with rappers although some of those clips seemed like they were from the 90’s. I’ve always associated those with construction workers.
Yeah all the clips except Drake were from the 90s, when the brand's sales tripled. That effect has endured
I wear a blazer with my Timbs all the time🗽🗽🗽
As a life long new yorker and resident of NYCHA projects, seeing your timberlands laced so tight gave me anxiety.
You can never please everyone with Timberland lacing!
Here in Greece they cost €230, which I think makes them overpriced. I own them though and I am pretty satisfied so far !
Yikes, that is expensive. Glad you're happy with them though.
Check out/Review the Timberland Boot Company Blake Winter 8" in Bordeaux model number 4033R, featuring Horween Chromexel leather, a 270° Goodyear welt and corded waxed laces. I think this boot will be more in line with the types you normally review with a bit of a twist and a great value considering the price vs materials and construction.
Those are super nice...and SOLD OUT. Limited Edition. Not a huge fan of the burgandy color. If they came in wheat or black I will be first in lline to buy them.
Now that your reviewing cheaper boots, mind doing reviews on the ultra cheap (sub $100) like Eastland, Clarks, etc? Might be fun and it could be an exercise in educating people on what to look out for, what to avoid, etc. Plus you may find a diamond in the rough.
I made this one if it helps! ruclips.net/video/bLLho-1ISy8/видео.html
The weight mainly comes from the rubber outsole, not from the insulation.
Yes I had the plastic soled Timberland basics and they are very light. Then I buy the Premiums and they feel a lot heavier. It's the sole. Better quality. = more weight
This shoe wasnt really meant for construction i mean look at it ..its beautiful
Get the Timberland kit that has the brush and gum eraser. Also, Lincoln Suede and leather cleaner does a really good job keeping them supple if you use it once a year and work it in with a toothbrush. The Balm Proof protector doesnt really do much other than turn them orange.
great tips!
@@Stridewise No problem, I have a 7 year old pair of Timberland Classic Yellow boots that I found at Ross for $80 and they still look almost new despite wearing every day in the fall and Winter. Its interesting, the boots are actually Goodyear Welted and are the only pair I have found that are. I had to contact Timberland to make sure they were real.
Weird! How are the soles holding up after 7 years, gonna get them resoled?
@@Stridewise I will get them done eventually but the soles still have plenty of life left in them, probably for another few years at least.
4:01 Lol, people clean their Timbs?
I just walk in the rain with them.
I was thinking the same thing lol
Great video! I got two questions to ask;
1. Will the color of the leather fade overtime?
2. And are the Timberlands boots suitable for wide or narrow feet? If i recall, most of them were for wide feet right back then right?
Also, could you do a review on the black nubuck colorway too? I am deciding on which colorway should I get! That would be awesome :))
damieN - I’ve had mine for a few year and I haven’t noticed any fading thus far. They do run wide and big. Some suggest buying a size smaller than your usual size to get a better fit. As for the width some wear thicker socks and solves that. They’re sold in a lot of places so you can try them on in person and see what you think.
shelby wilson thanks for the info mate.. i’ll definitely hit one of their stores these coming days to try it out !
I love me my Timberland Premium boots but man, they really dig into the ankle bone and cause pain.
Awesome video, it was very helpful to me. I am looking for a new pair of boots to use during the winter. I am currently living in Canada. Do you know what is the lowest temperature that would be comfortable do use those boots? thank you so much
Just got my 1st pair of Timbs Heritage Premium in life. 😊
Timberlands are great for their price, but I've since upgraded to a 'Made To order' Nicks Boots as the Nicks quality does surpass my timberlands but the nicks are 4 times the price, so to be expected
@8:40 Keanu Reeves is probably one who can pull off these boots with a suit and blazer 😅
I tried them on and I didn't like the feel, they felt bulky and heavy. Then I put on the Helly Hansens boots and they felt way more comfortable, so I bought them.
Pro tip : if you get a pair of timbs, you might want to buy a personal insole. The stock insole can be a little rough on your feet, at least they were for me. After you have an aftermarket sole ,they’re super comfy
Aurelius they do lol but insoles feel rough as hell on your socks. At least they did for me. If people complain about one thing it’s the insole
@@avxrevoyou might have the basic ones and not the premium ones he has here
I have bought and tested several brands of boots and these are by far the best ones i ever had, for me they are the holy grail of boot, sadly nothing is perfect and i find 2 flaws to these boot, 1 the sole never gets "sticky" like never, any shinny surface + water (oil) = insta death... 2 you cant resole them, i never have had the need to resole one of my pairs and my oldest pair have 10 years, i wear them almost daily (like 300 of 365), but i have several pairs so i dunno what would be the wear if i had only one pair...
keep your feet warm?
You lace your timbs like a cop lmao. You a herb
Learn how to tie your shoes black boy.
Love these boots only problem with em nowadays is the fact I cant tie em off at the tipy top of the shoe gotta go down 2 eye holes other than that they are amazing
Well Described and you know what you are talking !! Enjoyed watching you presentation
Glad you liked it Sholes
I have 3 pairs which i have had since 1999 and still going. Wheat, Blue, Gray.
I have 37 pairs, I get them from the timberland outlet, Buy one pair 169.99 get one pair 40-70% off depending on time of year, here in Michigan.
@@michaelbrown4858 you have a ton of the non-premium pairs.
Awesome video.
Tim's all day. Also if you can do new republic men review and thrusday boots.
So I wore my black premium timbs out for THE FIRST TIME yesterday and somehow the top layer of nubuck rubbed off in 2 places, revealing the smooth leather, what an eye sore. My basics never did this over 3 years….
Hey im just wearing them because NF does, I'm not no drug dealer....
I swear.....
You have an unusual accent, its almost Australian, Aussie accent. Are you American and lived in AUS for some period or a fellow Aussie that has lived in the US for some period of time? Anyhow, great review 😎
Aussie who has lived in the US! Before that China, Kenya, a bunch of other places so it's kind of a mangled accent.
Hi Nick, I hope you have Nicks boots to review.
Yep getting some made! Long process but you can look forward to a review.
Timberland reduced their lifetime warranty to a "1 year warranty" because many people were sending back the 6" waterproof boots because they have a defect that causes rain/snow to leak in the toebox area. Due to that fact ; in my humble opinion it's a bad investment to spend $190 on boots when Timberland warranty will only cover the "waterproof" boots for 1 winter. Even in NYC it's less common to see Timbs; aside from the classic wheats. Ironically ; many clubs,bars,lounges,venues, etc. have a strict "No Timberland Boots" dress code policy at the door in New York City.
Haha I haven't seen that policy but I can see it as being a tacit way to filter out a certain kind of person. Shady!
I have them in black they are a pretty good boot for the money.
Finally you made it, thanks
I had timberland before, my size is 48 in EU i think it makes 15 in US. So, they were very heavy. you could go fighting with it as a gun. when my friends saw these, they were saying that is kid tomb... Still I am missing these boots but when I remember how i suffering after long day, just wanna say fuck it... :( one time I was about to cry, just take off boots and sitting near road, massage to my feets.. was such a bad day..
You laced them right imo, I don't care either. It looks better when you either cuff or stack your jeans upon them.
You can never please everyone with the way you lace your Tims, haha
Timbs all day everyday! I wear workboots everyday and Timbs to go out
These are the first boots that I've noticed have an effect on your gait. Did walking feel much different? How's your back?
Yeah I mean they're just very *big*, like voluminous, and the sole is chunkier than any other I've tried.
cuato cuestan esas botas
Do your boots say W or M on the box (next to the size)? I only saw W in Europe, but heard both are available in us. Awesome video!
HE CHOCKIN DEM JOINTS !
Them joints look like army boots on him, niggas Finna clown him for those joints
Best Boot Planet.
Hi, is the boots heavy? is the sole soft? I am thinking about choosing between this 6 INCH PREMIUM or COURMA GUY BOOT FOR MEN.
Old video but just a FYI. In hotline bling drake had nike acg manoa's on not tims
I was looking forward to a waterproof test.
Can you do a Lucchese boot review? I would like to know if you find the value to be there ? It’s a Texas brand and I’m curious if it lives up to the expectations
Specifically the Grayson Chelsea or the Huck

Hey guys. I have a quick question: What do you think about a fully customizable luxury shoe/boot brand? What feautures would you like to see, have or be able to have on your shoes.
White's and Dayton are pretty much that, though I don't know if you'd call them luxury.
