Timberland PROMen's 6 Inch Boondock Comp Toe WP Ins Industrial Work Boot

Great boot except
This is a really nice, well built, good-looking boot that fits GREAT. About myself. I'm 6'3" and weigh 350 lbs. I have wide feet. Won't even consider a boot or sneaker that's not a wide size and even then, they don't always fit. I wore these in my house for 4-5 hours. Heels stay in place with no rubbing and the anti-fatigue insoles make walking very comfortable. This boot is wide and provides a lot of support yet stays in place on your foot. In other words, it doesn't feel like your feet are swimming in them. Toe box is great. I was surprised how easy it was for me to move my toes around especially being a composite toe. Not being able to move my toes around is almost always an issue for me and that's with boots that are soft toe, these are a composite toe. Also, this boot is very easy to get on and off. You don't have to wrestle with them for ten minutes just getting them on and laced up or getting them off.The only issue with this boot is the eyelet/speed hook combination at the top of the boot. They stick out pretty far on the inside of the boot and dig into my skin. Bad....bad design! I wish Timberland either went with an eyelet or a speed hook not this AIO nonsense. Awful design! Truly heinous! Feels like there's a Pitbull biting on the side of my leg. Terrible!Even though I had to return, the fit/feel, support and look of this boot is so great, I still give it 5 stars. I'll return for the 8" boot. The eyelets/speed hooks are higher up on the 8" boot and you don't have to lace them all the way up just to keep them on your feet.FYI people. This is a work boot. It's big, bulky and heavy. They're supposed to be that way. If you don't want that then don't buy this boot. I've read a lot of reviews here where people complained about that. If you don't want big and bulky than try a cheap hiking style boot like something from Merrell.Will let you know how the 8" boot feels.

Some helpful tips!!!
I’ve wanted a pair of these boots since they came out over 10yrs ago, because I love Timberlands and these boots look mean and durable! The problem was they were only available in a steel toe whenever I was in the market for new work boots. I work in an environment where I need to go through metal detectors at least once a day and it’s a pain to have to take your boots off every day. Finally I found them in this composite toe and shank!!! I read the negative reviews and I don’t agree with any of the issues except two and I found a solution for both. I wear a size 11R and the toes look very proportional to the boot, nothing clown like about them. I get compliments on these boots daily! No one is complimenting clown shoes. They are big but look at the pictures... this is a mean, durable, tough AF boot. Do they look small in the pictures? Lol. These boots are EXTREMELY comfortable in the soles as well!!! The two issues i read that I also had was tight/painful in the shin area and pain in the top of the foot/front ankle area from something digging in on one foot when walking. To fix the painful shin issue just don’t lace them through the very top hooks..... they are two hooks tall, tie them using only the bottom hooks, problem solved! The digging into the top of my right foot only issue made me look at why the left boot wasn’t doing it but the right was. The difference was on my right boot where the tongue fabric attached on one side was folded up and out instead of pulled down and in. All I had to do was push that canvas down with my finger when I tightened my laces for a few days to retrain the canvas to fold inwards instead of outwards and now it does it on its own like the left boot. When the canvas from the attached tongue folds down it protects your foot from where the leather folds in at your ankle as you walk. I’ve owned TONS of timberlands in my life and these boots are very high quality, worth every penny.

Great boot fits perfectly. Usually safety toe boots I gotta size up because of the nature of them. Usually the toe box is “crowding” top of toes or size but with wide options it fits perfect. Day 1 I thought my toes were hurting as I walked a little bit, but now I can’t seem to notice what I thought was hurting. Also, I’m a CDL truck driver, and I’m NOT walking all day so I might be wrong, if you’re walking all day maybe step half a size up? Great quality too!

Great boots after nearly 2 years
These are very nice, comfortable boots. I have owned Dr. Martens and Keen work boots before I purchased these, and both of them had the sole of the boot split within a year of purchasing them. I have had these Timberlands for nearly two years now, and there are two reasons why I'm looking to upgrade: 1) I'm 5'8", with pretty small feet, and this boots are massive. They almost look like clown shoes on me, but I was willing to overlook that for 2 years because they're so darn comfortable. 2) I am on my feet about 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and the tread is pretty well gone. This wouldn't be much of an issue if it weren't for the fact that Minnesota winter is near, and I'd like to have some traction when everything is covered in ice in 2 months. If it were March, I'd hang on to these for another 7 months. One other very minor gripe that I had with these boots is that once the original insoles wore to the point that they were no longer comfortable (about 1.5 years after purchase), I purchased the same exact anti-fatigue replacement insoles from Timberland, and they were noticeable thinner toward the front of the foot, and never quite as comfortable as the originals. If it weren't for the fact that these are so bulky for my smaller stature, I'd purchase them 100 times over. That being said, I will be replacing them with the Timberland Pro Helix HD 6", which seem to be the next best thing, but a little less bulky.Whenever I'm doing research, I find that reviews from people who have owned a product for quite a while are the most helpful, so I hope that this helps someone make a decision on these boots.
