I love Timberlands. I live in michigan and purchased these boots as a gift for my boyfriend. At 6’5’’, 350 lbs it is often hard to find shoes strong enough to withstand how rough he is while walking. The boots are definitely made to last and perfect for our bipolar Michigan weather which is always changing. The boots are a classic to me and many others I know. They are a go to boot for the Winter weather and I do purchase them every year if not every there year, the boot lasts.
