Timberland PRO Women's Hightower 6 Inch Aluminum Toe Composite Plate Leather Work Boots

I've worked in landscaping for 10 years now, and it's been a regular occurrence that I would need to replace my boots every 1.5 years. Maybe 2. I bought these boots in October, 2020, and it is now April 2024, and they are still hanging on. I have a feeling that the sole will bust through any day now, and want to be prepared, so I'm buying a new pair soon, just to have on hand. I work outdoors on rough terrain, during all weather, from April to the first week of December. Lots of work boots (especially women's) are meant for indoor work on factory floors, which is why they fall apart so fast. It's also difficult to find ones that are waterproof. I also love the high tops that lace up, which support my ankle, and have prevented injury. Some tips on how to make these last longer: - Clean and hydrate them with a shoe balm meant for leather. Helps prevent cracking. - Spray them with a waterproofing boot spray. - When you start to see peeling happen from the stress point where your toes bend, use Shoe Glue to fill in those gaps and help keep it together. Your books will look ugly, but who cares. They're work boots. I also use it on the place where the leather wore away on the toe, and the metal is showing. FYI, I didn't have to start doing this until my 3rd year wearing them. When it comes to comfort, I'd say they are on par with every other average work boot out there. I've for sure had worse. The leather did expand out on the sides, and form to my feet, which is nice. I also always go half a size up with work boots for many reasons. Feet swelling, room for thicker socks when it's cold, room for an insole for extra comfort, ect. The only downside to this is the back of the boot rubbed against my heel really badly. But I feel like that's normal for any new boot being broken in. So remember to use moleskin people! It's an easy fix. The laces also broke sometime last year, but again, it's a cheap and easy fix.

So light and comfortable I wear them even if I’m not going to a construction site! The sizing works slightly larger, so go half a size down. Otherwise, awesome shoe!

Super comfy, no break in time and true to size and I wear a women’s 7.

very comfortable, high quality, well worth the money, light on the feet. happy with purchase.

Light and comfortable and quick to break in. Definitely recommend.

I have been using steel toe work boots for 36 years while working outside on the pavement and bush and these boots are by far the comfiest boots I've owned! I have a high instep and they have caused no problems... great boots!

Extremely comfortable, i work primarily outdoors and not a single complaint about these boots

These boots are very comfortable and didn’t take very long to break in. They accommodate my high instep better than a lot of other work boots I tried on thanks to the laces going lower on the foot (they should still fit people with flatter feet too thanks to this adjustability). They are quite lightweight and I’m happy to have them on my feet for 12-14 hours shifts. I can’t speak to durability yet as I’ve only worn these to work for a couple of weeks but they seem to be of good quality.
