Tag: Earthkeepers boots

When we laced up the Timberland Men’s Earthkeeper 6″ Boots for the first time, we weren’t expecting them to feel quite this broken-in right out of the box. The leather is thick and rugged, yet it softens quickly enough that we never hit that dreaded blister phase. As we put them through city commutes, wet sidewalks, and a few muddy trails, the grip and waterproofing largely lived up to Timberland’s claims, though they’re not quite as breathable as we’d hoped during longer wears. Style-wise, the classic work-boot silhouette pairs easily with denim and flannel, but it’s versatile enough for a casual office. In this review, we break down where these Earthkeepers shine, where they fall short, and whether they justify their price tag for everyday use.
