2020: Great boots, I usually wear the Timberland White Ledge hiking boots for work in security/law enforcement. I also owned the former version of these with a more agressive looking sole (they were fantastic and looked great esp. new). These are good and comfortable, the great quality you expect from Timberland. They look more tactical and they are comfortable but I find the Timberland White Ledge hiking boot to be a bit more comfortable and at a better price. I am not disappointed in these boots though, they are comfortable, have a great tactical look, have a nice cushioned layer in the sole where the vertical lines are, and they provide a nice lift with the thick sole. I'm satisfied with the product so far. This product (pictured) closest, the former model in the middle and white ledge farthest away. Update: AUG 2022, two years later and these boots are still at work, I do switch up sometimes but these are far more durable and have lasted longer than the previous model (I liked the look of those better) and the white ledge, my work would chew up the white ledges and spit them out in less than a year. I'm at work and have them on now, they have held up really well, better than the other two models pictured. The others MIGHT have been slightly more comfortable but the increased durability has negated that, it's minimal. Upgraded to 5 stars. I have another pair that are waiting in the closet but the pair pictured are still going strong. Long lasting, sole still looks very good and I work on my feet, now COVID might have slowed the pace a bit, but still great up to 5 stars from 4. Update 2023.01.01 I've had these boots three years now & parts are starting to show wear, shoestrings thinning, cracks in leather, worn lining on the sides of the insides of the boots, there is some real visible wear on the rear of the heals on the sole BUT if I shine them up they still look great, still great support, unbelievable, and I work on asphalt, not an office or smooth concrete, three years and still going strong, I have a pair I bought a year ago to replace these that have only been worn once or twice and NOT to work. I think I can get another year out of these with them still looking good but they need a weekly or biweekly shine now to hide their age and wear. Still comfortable as ever with lots of tread on the bottom. Up to five star+++ unbelievable, best boots I've ever had PERIOD.
