They're quite nice.....except for that extra patch of leather around the back. Designers need to learn when to stop.

Aren't those a bit expensive...?

 

[somatoform]

yeah, those brown boots are very nice. i would consider them for myself but, as stylin said, that extra flap at the heel is a turn off. what a waste...

 

[Serg]

certianly a strange touch but I'm going to check them out in person probably.

I had NO idea Timberland produced shoes that looked like this.. i like em.
I'm going to stick to Fiorentini & Baker though..

Hey. I just bought the dark brown version of these... they rock. This is like my 20-umpth pair of boots that I have and they've just become a top favorite instantly. However, I wouldn't suggest them if you have lots of walking to or if you drive a sporty clutch as the soles are slightly slipperly.

Got the $275? Get em.

Has anyone tried these in the snow/ice? Are they slippery? They are 40% off in Toronto right now. This site has better pictures http://www.cloggs.co.uk/invt/4292#

40% off Timberland.com site code: FF2007. I like some of their earth friendly boots too, just wondering how good these are.
