2.0 out of 5 stars
Quality seems to slip with each pair I buy, June 9, 2011
This review is from: Timberland Men's Kiawah Bay 2 Boat Shoe (Apparel)
This is the third pair I have bought over the course of 5+ years. I order the brown/brown color. First pair was 5 stars, the next 4 stars. This one three stars: The dye color of the leather in the shoe is poorly matched. Also, the foot insert is problematic. It is removable (good), but the end covering the ball of the foot is not stiff and tends to fold up with use. Also, I swear the number of stitches per inch used to make the shoe has gone down with this last attempt, making the shoe look cheaper than earlier versions. The sole remains well crafted and should withstand long hard use. The shoe remains well priced. Oct 6, 2011 update: this pair lasted only 4 months before the stiching along the side gave way (on both shoes). On prior pairs, this took more than 2 years to occur. I must conclude that the shoe maker is substituting lower quality stitching on newer shoes. I would now give 2 stars to these shoes.

Low Quality and High Price!, January 17, 2010
This review is from: Timberland Men's Kiawah Bay 2 Boat Shoe (Apparel)
These shoes cost about $90 and Timberland can not even cough up the $2 to waterproof them. To add insult to injury, the footbeds are as thin as a piece of paper.
One could buy Rockport, Nunn Bush, Florsheim, Deer Stags, etc. all for a lower price and all of them would be more comfortable and waterproofed!

Fast decline in quality, November 18, 2010
This review is from: Timberland Men's Kiawah Bay 2 Boat Shoe (Apparel)
I've worn Timberlands of various kinds since the mid-1970s. They used to last seemingly forever, but a pair of boat shoes I bought in 2008 was worn through at the heels in a year, and my next pair was shot even worse after a few months, plus the inner soles decomposed in a matter of weeks. Both pairs, however, showed little wear on the upper leather, and the stitching remained intact. Unfortunately, excellent uppers on crummy soles still makes a crummy shoe. No more Timberlands for me.
