Timberland work boots are popular as ever, both as a fashion statement among certain sections of urban society, and as actual comfortable working footwear among those who work outdoors year in and year out, particularly on building or construction sites.
People often simply replace their old Timberland boots with a new pair exactly the same when they eventually wear out.
Why is this? It is partly because the boots are so well made, so durable and so comfortable, but also because have the reputation of being the best and toughest work boots you can get, and that is a big reason for their success and popularity.
The Timberland Pro series work boot is particularly sought after here.
As with many modern clothing or footwear products which become fashionable, they also have the reputation of being 'expensive' (though this is not really true), and so wearing them becomes a statement about affluence or success.
Looking at the comments about Timberland boots online, it is clear there are two sets of people who buy these boots - people who work outdoors and need reliable, comfortable watertight boots, often with toe protection like a steel toe; and those who want them because they are fashionable, and worry about such things as the right socks to wear, whether to roll up their pants when wearing them, and what color or style of jeans to wear with them.
The company has obliged both its sets of customers by extending the range of boot styles and by making a range of similar boots for women as well as men.
Buying Timberland work boots online has now become one of the preferred ways of purchasing them, both because the prices can be lower than in normal shoe stores in your local mall, and because you get to select from the latest styles.
In addition, the top online shoe stores often have a better range of sizes and widths on offer than many brick-and-mortar stores.
