Timberland PRO Pit Boss 6 Inch Steel Safety Toe Industrial Boot

Updated June 2023:
It’s been 3 years and 4 months since I got these Timberland Pro boots and I’m happy to report that they are still going strong. I work construction and wear them almost every day. I use Odor Eaters work boot insoles which I change every 3 months + another soft foam insole + the original insole and they are very comfortable. I got the boot a half size larger so it fits well with the extra insoles and I’ve never had blisters even when roofing. Roofing can be torture to your feet (and boots) because you are working on a slope so there are constant lateral forces on the bottoms of your feet.
While the soles have worn some they are by no means worn out. The leather is still in very good shape other than a gouge on the toe of the right boot. It’s just cosmetic as no water gets in through it. The stitching is top notch no rips or pulled out stitches. I figure that I’ll get another 3 years or more from these boots.
I did have a lace break and in a pinch I superglued it. I planned on getting new laces but haven’t because I’m cheap and lace works fine. Superglue also works good on shoelace tips that are fraying.
I treated the boots once with Never Wet for boots. I was expecting that water would bead up and roll off “like water off a ducks back”, but it didn’t really bead up although water doesn’t really soak in.
I would also like to note that I previously purchased a pair of these boots that were slightly too small. I wore them for a while but a couple of times after jamming my toes jumping down I got these a half size bigger. So I tossed them in the garage and planned to give them to Goodwill. Of course I forgot until about a year ago when I ran across them all dusty in the garage. Oddly the heals had deteriorated and were soft and crumbly. Not the bottom sole, just the foamy rubber rubber above it. I have read many reviews about this being a problem with Timberline boots. But this appears that Timberline has remedied the problem as my current pair has lasted a long time.

Older review: Got a good deal on the through Amazon Warehouse. The description said there were minor blemishes but I couldn’t find any. I’d just seen a pair someone was selling on Craigslist for $80 in slightly used condition. I paid $60 for these and they are new. They look new, smell new, and fit great. Some days I get home burned out and I’ve fallen asleep with these on. Just like a pair of slippers! Well okay that may be a little excessive. Just call it the Trump effect… The boots are great though no bovine doo key here… umm well I gotta watch what I say or I get an email from Amazon saying I was bad and violated someone in their department that looks for violations. They should put a list out of the words they allow cuz really it wasn’t that bad. Did I mention the boots are great?

My husband is an electrician. He has to have these for his job. The price is the best I’ve found. This is a reoccurring buy for us. Probably once a year. I highly recommend these. They are as advertised! The performance has been great. Lasting just as long as if we’d walked into the mall. My husband said these are the most comfortable. They don’t take long to break in. He’s on his feet all day so support is important! They are slip resistant. They have shown to be waterproof and very reliable.

Las compré para el trabajo, pues trabajo en industria, son super cómodas aunque muchos dicen que pesadas (pero yo me creo Goku alv), resistentes y con el cuidado adecuado no dejan de verse muy bonitas, recomendadisimas

Bonne paire de botte ratio qualité et prix.
J’ai changé la semelle d’origine un peu raide pour une ”Timberland pro anti-fatigue technology” et franchement c’est parfait. Apres 1 semaine de travail la botte est faite a votre pied.
Cependant je ne pense pas qu’il y ait une semelle intégrée en acier pour la pénétration des clous etc… A voir pour les normes Canadiennes en chantier. 🙂

They look good, function as they should, and hurt for a while just like everyone else is saying. I’m not too sure about the quality of the boots due to the lining Inside right up on the heel going up a bit has completely worn out. Constantly rubs up on my heels uncomfortably. I’ve had them for almost a month now and am honestly surprised with that specific spot wearing down so quickly. I’ll try to remedy that myself but besides that, the boots are really comfortable after the break in period. Due watch out for the rubber collar around the ankle, that shit will hurt if you don’t wear the right types of socks.

At first I thought I was going to regret my purchase because they hurt my feet a lot. They are made of thick leather so the tongue and the collar were very rigid the first 2 weeks. The rubbing on my ankle made them very sore. Eventually they broke in, so now they fit just right and the leather is soft enough that I can’t feel it rubbing on my ankles anymore.

Otherwise they are comfortable boots once broken in. The leather looks great and I love how a little bit of care can make them look almost brand-new. All you have to do is to clean the dirt with a wet cloth and rub them a bit with vaseline.
