Timberland quality isn't what it was
By E. Murphy
I've owned several pairs of these in the last 30 years. I used to love them. But I won't buy them again.The last pair had rubber soles poorly glued to the leather insole. Several exposures to wet weather resulted in the soles coming loose. Regluing them never seem to work. Heavy shoes like these, with soles like these, commonly are bought for use in bad weather. It's not like I went hiking in patent leather tuxedo pumps and then complained because they didn't hold up well.All shoes made in China are not necessarily inferior. But Timberlands aren't what they used to be.

Amazon customer service is like no other
By Hiren
I bought the Burgundy Color Boat Shoe. The shoes have a good solid build to them. Good value for money. I paid $86.63 and within a week the price dropped to $73.61. The initial customer service rep said they could not do anything. I called again and the level 2 customer service gave me the price difference. +1 for Amazon.

No longer made in US = drop in quality
By ChrisWN
For about 2 decades this was my absolute favorite shoe. One pair lasted me a whole decade with heavy use (almost every day in fall, winter & spring). They were the best combination of rugged work shoe (without a steel shank), sportiness & dressier look. While they weren't completely waterproof, regular treatment to the leather meant my feet stayed dry in light rain or if I was caught off guard. The sole was thick enough & high enough off the ground that water/sludge never seeped in. The seems were extremely well sewn & never once frayed, nor did the eyelets fall out. Even the original leather shoe laces lasted. While the sole wore some, particularly on the outer edge of the heel (i was a heavy over pronator), the ridges in the sole never wore down flat in a decade. I don't remember if the soles were originally Vibram or not, but they were fairly slip-proof.So when I needed a 3rd pair (about 7 years ago), I picked up some at a Timberland outlet store (slightly blemished, but regular quality). I noticed they were now made in China (don't know if it's changed since then), but didn't hesitate since they were also on sale for what seemed like a good price. While they might not be as poor as some shoes from China, the reduced quality was noticeable in about 6 months: first the leather layer in the floor bed separated from the shoe, sliding all around (I had to use crazy glue to keep it in place). Then they scuffed much more easily. Then water seeped in despite maintaining them as I had the 2 previous pairs. Then the seems started to unravel, shoe laces broke, eyelets fell off. The sole became slippery...all in less than 3 years. I was even wearing them less than my old pairs because of the problems.Despite liking Timberland's sizing (they accommodate my larger, particularly wider feet better), I stopped buying Timberland because they shifted production out of the US (with a noticeable drop in quality) while keeping their prices high. I don't mind paying a premium for a good shoe, I do mind paying premium for junk.
