Yup. Used to buy the timberland boondocks all the time . They were comfortable, yes, but lasted about 6-8 months $300 a pair. End up getting a pair of cowboy boots steel toe etc, $150 amazon from a friend. Never looked back. Almost 10 months in they are stating to wear out, but my work environment doesn't let footwear last. Hyd oil, diesel, flames, sparks, sharp steel. Etc. The best part is that there are no greasy nasty ass laces to tie in the morning and undo at night just slip on/off and go.
Fuck timberlands and their garbage boots. Never again.

The funny thing is Timberlands are generally not great work boots and they have become more of a fashion brand than a work brand.

You know Vimes’ Economic Theory of Boots?
Timberlands are the ones you have to buy every year and end up costing you more.
