Opinions on timberland earthkeepers?

[apple3210]

Hey guys,

looking into buying a pair of boots for when i got travelling to cold countries. (i'm from australia, it doesn't get very cold during our winters, so not much need for boots).

anyway, i was looking at ordering some timberland earthkeepers, particularly this pair:

anyone have any experience with the earthkeepers? do they look to rugged/bulky in real life? i'm wanting to match them with jeans.

i've seen lots of nice looking boots in terms of style on yesstyle.com but i've heard nothing but bad stories about sizing issues and i think one guy here said it looked nothing like the photo.

thanks

I bought a pair last year and returned them. Chunky and ugly IMO. I bought a pair of Red Wings instead...great winter boot.
