Timberland PRO mens Direct Attach 6 Inch Steel Safety Toe Waterproof Insulated

Needed to replace an old pair of Rocky boots that lasted me a few years. Has all the bells and whistles I needed and then some. Very durable, comfortable, and lightweight. Steel toe was just an added bonus. I walk a lot and I haven’t had any blisters or aching feet using these boots. Break in time was fairly short, just a few days. Good in the rain and snow both being waterproof and slip-resistant. Very breathable too, compared to my old work boots, my feet don't sweat or stink as much. Great traction on them for walking in rough or steep environments. Durable too, nothings penetrated the surface layer yet despite walking in all kinds of environments.

Timberland Boots have always been a good product. These particular boots fit well, are comfortable and provide the safety I need in working outdoors. I expect to use these boots for many years to come.

I haven't yet worn the boots outside, but just walking around the house on the carpet the Timberland Pro Direct Attach 6'inch steel toe boots feel like I am walking on air. The sole's are very thick giving the feel of thick comfortable cushioning when i walk. The outer leather material is top quality. The shoelaces however are thin and do not really allow you to properly tighten the boots on your feet. I plan to replace the laces as soon as I can get to a Foot locker or Academy Sports. I am really looking forward to wearing the Timberland Pro Direct Attach 6'inch steel toe boots on my Motorcycle. I bought the Timberland Pro Direct Attach 6'inch steel toe boots as a 2nd pair of riding boots for my Motorcycle (MC).I already have a pair of Steel toe Harness Boots for riding my MC. They are my dress up boots when I am riding, The Steel toe Harness boots look fantastic BUT they are very dressy. I go the Timberland Pro Direct Attach 6'inch steel toe boots because they have a more hardcore MC look to them. Plus, I didn't want to always be in my Steel Toe Harness Boots when I am riding, as they were several hundred dollars and I don't want to wear them out.Currently, out of the box, in the house, the Timberland Pro Direct Attach 6'inch steel toe boots are amazing. I will UPDATE this review after a few weeks of MC riding.5 years later: I'm still wearing these boots in 2017 and they still look good. I wear them at wrk, and when riding my motorcycle. These boots are well made, durable and worth every penny.Sad day😑 in Aug 2019 my Tmberland Pro steel toe boots passed away. These boots were worth their wait in gold. I used them to do Bodyguard work, Security work. They saw a lot of fighting an kept me upright in bar fights with the wet ground. Unlike some other boots that almost got me killed. Plus, I use these boots to race motorcycles at 150mph+. Can’t say enough about these boots. So, with that in mind I just bought a NEW pair.

These are very durable and comfortable. I'm already on my fourth pair.

I'll start right off with what I didn't like and kept these from 5 stars so I can go into detail with why I still recommend them above any other boot I've worn. They are on the chunkier side in terms of sheer mass compared to some other steel-toes I've worn. The good thing about a less bulky boot is that you have greater ease moving in them and they feel more natural. There's also an aesthetic argument about the cartoonishness of big boots, however hopefully you're not thinking of steel-toes for the aesthetics. Also, having holes instead of hooks for the top 2 loops is a minor pain. You just have to lace-up every time you put them on.These boots are exceptionally comfy. They run a bit narrow, but they have excellent support and are tight without cutting off circulation or giving you bruises. I'd chalk this up to the extensive padding. I wore these boots all day the first time I had them and felt better than most good days in my old boots.The soles for these boots are thick. They'll give you 2 inches. If you're on the shorter side like me, it's a bit of a blessing. They're also secured against electrical surges so you don't get fried if a live wire drops on a treadplate you happen to be standing on. The grip is nothing short of excellent. I haven't had the chance to try it on snow or ice yet, but it holds on dead leaves and slick pavement. It makes the clunkyness bearable.They are also waterproof up to your ankle due to tight stitching/seams, and a sewn-in tongue. Doesn't seem helpful until that puddle was a little deeper than you thought. Whoops. These boots will ensure your socks are still warm and dry. When it's 37 out, that's kind of a big effin' deal as our VP once put it.The steel on the toe is thick and the weight gives you some comfort when you hold the boot in your hand. It will save your little piggies should you suffer the misfortune of having something heavy land on your foot. That's kind of the idea.On another note, on at least one instance in my life I was glad of having a pair of steel-toes as I sat at a bar with a friend in a rough area. The bouncers had metal detectors. We went back to the car and I dropped off my SOG Trident that I typically carry and my buddy dropped off his Smith and Wesson. Point is, in a pinch, a steel-toes are like brass-knuckles for your feet that can't get taken off you due to a metal-detector. Stay safe out there.Great pair of boots, can't go wrong with them. I got them for $100 and was pleased as pie with the arrangement.

The only boot I wear. I work in a facility with hard flooring and these make it nice to walk on. Ive even slipped on ice (getting out of my truck) and when my legs went under me, my ankles didnt get twisted. Ive worn these for over 15 years and dont think I can wear anything else.
