Timberland PRO Men's Pit Boss 6 Inch Steel Safety Toe Industrial Work Boot

These boots are very well made with strong stitching and high-quality materials. They’re insulated, fit true to size, and even have a great insoles, great surprise! Comfortable, durable, and worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Bought these as part of a 2-3 week contract that involved working in a production plant. They arrived on time. Fit was good. For those who might be concerned with style, they look great with jeans or chinos. They are not water proof, but I did put some mink oil on them which provided some water resistance. The boots broke in nicely with just a 1/4 mile walk around the neighborhood. No complaints. Read some reviews that talked about a back seam which caused irritation or blisters. I don't have such a seam on this pair. I would recommend probably doing half a size up if you are going to wear heavy socks. These fit me well but if I were to wear a pair of insulated socks I would probably want half a size up. All in all, a nice boot. Looks classy if you end up if the front office as opposed to the production plant side. Got plenty of compliments about them. Only negative side is they need some leather balm and a mink oil treatment before you put them into use. Beats boots I have tried on at Walmart or other similar "big box" stores. UPDATE: I noticed about 4-5 days after I purchased these the price went down significantly, about $30, they were still new in the box but I needed them in just a few days. I called Amazon to request a price adjustment seeing the difference was pretty stark. At first the agent told me they had a no price adjustment policy but I could return them and purchase a new pair. I pointed out that was pretty absurd seeing that I liked the item just the price change was about 30% in the just a few days. Plus I needed the item in about two days which would not have given the replacement enough time to ship. After being put on hold for a few minutes I think the agent got approval from the supervisor to simply credit my card. I was overall happy with the customer service experience, but almost every merchant has some sort of short term price adjustment policy. I know part of Amazon's business model involves "dynamic pricing" depending on demand, inventory, and supply, but to require a full return (with them paying the shipping) for an item just purchased in order to effectively get the lower price is both a waste of time/money for Amazon and a hassle for the consumer to have to mail back the entire product (especially during the holiday season). One further update, make sure to purchase the steel toe version of this boot if that is what you desire. There is a soft toe version that looks identically the same that is cheaper but does NOT have a steel toe. A friend found this out the hard way when he called me up to gloat he got a pair even cheaper then me. He was not so pleased with himself though when I asked if he got the steel toe version he required for work only to find out it was the soft toe one.

If you need a fantastic pair of work boots for a great price then I would highly recommend buying a pair of Timberland Pro’s. These boots are built to take on nearly anything. I worked for the Department of Transportation as an engineering intern in the field. I was on construction sites and these boots were abused to say the least. They were in mud, rock, sand, water, and concrete, and these boots lasted through it all. I could knock them together to remove mud or grime, or I’d wash them off at the end of the day. They were always ready for the next round of abuse. One would figure that something this tough would be uncomfortable to stand in all day, but these boots were just as comfortable as wearing your favorite pair of shoes. After a couple days of wearing these boots, they were already broken in and felt natural. During the break-in phase of wear, I noticed a slight squeak when I was walking. I was worried it might be a permanent unintentional “feature” of the boot, but thankfully it went away within a week or two. These boots were perfectly functional as well. They do meet the current ASTM requirements, so I was hoping for some good protection. Unfortunately with working on construction sites, accidents can happen, such as large and heavy objects falling. Had there not been a steel toe in my boot, my foot would have been in a different kind of boot for quite some time. Thank you Timberland for quality steel toes. Another great thing about the steel toe is it’s perfectly hidden within the boot, so you can’t even feel it when you’re on your feet all day. I figured since these boots were waterproof and pretty tough, they would get hot and my feet would make the boots stink. Luckily the people at Timberland thought about this and made sure my feet didn’t overheat. They also must’ve put something on the inside because my boots didn’t smell after weeks in the heat, dirt, and just about everything else under the sun. Overall these boots were amazing, and if I ever need a new pair, I will buy these again.

Great quality and comfort. I work as a plumber and they keep me comfortable and safe with the steel toe. Easily broken in for the start!

Timberland sizing is always a mystery to me. Depends on the type of boots you buy from them, sizing are all over the map. For regular timberland classic boots I had to go down 1 full size to get a good fit without my heel slipping and excessive room in the toe box. That's what I was planning to go with before I bought this steel toe boot, thank god I read the reviews on them. 1. Sizing: For this boot, you really want to go to your normal true size. Now, everyone has a different opinion on what their true size is, the way I determined mine was that there is no heel slippage, and I have enough room in the toe box that my toes are not right up against the end of toe box. For most Nike/Adidas/Jordans, I am a size 10, and they typically fit me just as I described above. For this pair of timberland, I went with a size 10 with normal width. The fit was good, but not perfect. Due to the steel toe, the toe box are narrower, and shorter then typical Timberland, and since it's a work boot, the insole seems to be thicker and provide better support than regular Timberlands (i'm comparing it to Timberland classic 6 inch boot). All that translate to a smaller fit when compare to a Timberland classic 6 inch boot. So when I went true to size, it felt good. Only complain is that the heel of the boot is wider so I do have some heel slippage, but this was easily remedied by thicker socks or socks with heel padding. 2. comfort: I bought this mainly to work in a laboratory condition where there are heavy machinery, so I don't walk in them all day long. However, I did notice that the support was excellent and my feet ain't tired at end of the day despite the fact that this pair of boots is HEAVY! 3. lacing: I like to provide some comment on lacing. It's hard to to tie this pair of boot up "snug." What I do I mean by snug? Well, typically when I lace up a boot, I like to make sure I felt a little bit of pressure from lacing it up from the top of my foot up to where I tie a knot. However, because of the steel toe and it being a very stiff boot, I can hardly feel any pressure on top of my foot when I lace it up. But since my foot isn't moving around in the boot, I was ok with it. You can lace the top of the boot tight once you get past your ankle though, the top of the boots does have more give to them where you can lace it up tight if needed. 4. Overall: Great boot, on the heavy side, but provided great support. Durability review will come later.

Great boot at a great price as expected

Very comfortable. One problem, and it's a major one. They are absolutely not "non-slip" soles. If the floor is wet, you will end up on the ground. If they had a different compound on the soles they would be perfect.

Just got the boots and they are for tree work. They just came in and the size fits well, they're sturdy but stiff so they need time to break in. They feel rough and heavy and high quality. My last pair were carhartts and had the sealing torn from the bottom of the shoe after only 6 months of use which allowed water to flood in and is horrible in the midwest because of all the wetlands there are. Hopefully these work out and I'll update my review with time. I give them 3 stars so far because the boots are on the cheaper side of other boots you can buy so I don't know how well it'll hold up but hopes are high with this one.
