    Timberlands are great ,,,,but the Earth Keeper range tend to have soles that wear very quickly, so I avoid them, apparently the recycled rubber soles are the issue.

    See my previous post in this thread about fast wearing soles on timberland earthkeepers - have them resoled with a vibrum sole.
    I posted a picture of the resoled boot. .

    Yes I understood your reasoning, the result is a better boot than Timberland originally produced.

    I have three pairs of altberg's for work, proper working but but I do find the new vibram soles on my defenders a bit slippy. Thier fitting service is great too at the factory, the incline test is something out of the norm.

    Winter is a relative term where I come from, our average annual temperature is somethning like 16-17 degrees celsius so these will do just fine.



    My wish were these one, with fur-like inside or with 3M Thinsulate, but couldn't find the size in the local area :(



    And getting one of these would be like winning the lottery :D

    Just bought these yesterday

    http://www.schuh.co.uk/mens/timberla...ts/3228196020/

    My fourth pair of Timberlands (various styles) I'm not too heavy on my feet and find the sole wear is fine.

    Schuh have 6" classic heritage Timberlands brown leather for £110 (down from £180) in the BF sale. Gotta be a bargain

    They're the ones I'm stuggling so hard to break in. Lovely boots to look at but the bellows tongue presses on my ankle bone where the seam is. Probably just unlucky.

    I've had that problem with my lined timberlands. Seem to catch my ankle.

    I braved buying the uggs I mentioned earlier in the thread. 40 quid off today and 16 quid cashback so basically 144 instead of 200. It's the fully lined that won me over.

    Nice looking boot.

    No use in post snow slush with grit though as the salt stains will never come out.
