Timberland Men's Elmhurst Chukka Wr Basic Fashion Boots

Product Information

Cleaning your boots follows the same basic process no matter their type, but it’s important that you familiarise yourself with the different kinds of leather and their reactions to different methods of cleaning. This step by step process can be followed time after time to refresh Timberland shoes and boots of all fabrics and keep them feeling and looking durable for longer: One example is the PRO Series. These run bigger, so it’s recommended that you buy half a size smaller than your usual sneaker size. For its casual lines, such as sneakers and heels, the shoes seem to run narrower. Just as with men’s shoes, we suggest that you measure your feet before buying. Even if you already own an old pair, don’t assume the size is the same. Some shoes stretch or loosen with time. Wear your Timberlands around the house and treat them as you’d do while working or hiking. Even while doing regular tasks, this helps to loosen them up. As they begin to feel more comfortable, wear them for longer periods. In each chart, you’ll get an overview of the dimensions available in corresponding US, EU and UK sizes. There’s also a comparable inch and centimeter guide, so you know which size fits you.

Leave the measuring until the late afternoon or when your day is over. Your feet are likely to be more swollen in the afternoon than in the morning.Per Timberland’s recommendations, you may be able to apply a leather conditioner. This will soften the material, eliminating some pressure on your toes. Consult the care instructions for your particular model. The sole is bonwelted, not Goodyear welted, meaning the sole is cemented to the upper in a manner not totally dissimilar to your standard pair of sneakers. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s poor quality — it’s very waterproof, made with sealed seams — but if and when you go through this sole, that’s it. The advantage of a Goodyear welt is that it makes the shoe easy to resole; you can’t usually resole a bonwelted shoe like these.

How Do Timberlands Fit?

An example of a snug Timberland shoe is the Men’s Groveton LTT Chukka Sneaker. Many recommend buying a wide-fit or going one size up. We will say that Timberland offers a lot of shoes in various styles, and not all are uniform. Some will be wider or narrower than others. Here are four examples to give you a general idea: A pair weighs about two pounds, and a lot of that comes from the insulation, which is made by a US company called PrimaLoft. The inside of the upper is totally insulated and at least half of that is made from recycled plastic bottles, which is a pretty cool touch that’s on brand with Timberland’s eco-friendly ethos.
